Hotels with Gym and Fitness Centre in Komodo

Pros: 1. The staff were incredibly enthusiastic and provided excellent service. 2. There's a private snorkeling area, which was a great experience, especially since we didn't book a liveaboard. Cons: 1. No internet, no internet, no internet! Apart from a few rooms on the hilltop, most rooms have extremely poor mobile signal (you can barely receive messages). WiFi is only available at the front desk. The management's excuse is that they ”don't want external noise to disturb guests,” but it's one thing if I have it and choose not to use it, and quite another if I need it and it's not available. If you need to stay consistently connected, this hotel is definitely not for you. 2. Prices are quite high. Since it's on a private island, a slight markup is understandable, but sometimes the prices are ridiculously high. For example, the hotel organized a beach buffet for 700k Indonesian Rupiah, which is about 300+ RMB after tax. The seafood options were only grilled shrimp, squid, and fish (the first two were served very slowly), and the only meat was grilled chicken skewers. In contrast, on the main island, we bought two large lobsters, two mantis shrimp as thick as a woman's arm, and even got two free squids, all for just over 700 RMB.

The hotel is in a good location with restaurants, supermarkets and pharmacy nearby (a 15-minute walk from the Harbour). The room is big and clean, even though the bed sheet was a bit old with some tiny holes. I had an issue with the shower - when I used the shower there wasn't hot water and during my shower the water was over. There wasn't a trash bin in the room neither. It would be great to have a kettle in the room but the staff were very helpful when I asked for hot water. If you stay in a room nearby the reception it can be a bit noisy sometimes. Nice view from the reception though!
