4-Star Hotels in Komodo

Very good, big expectations, eating is also very good!

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.

This room type is facing the sea, but it is really old, and there are many mosquitoes in the semi-open bathroom. Later, we negotiated to move to the newly built deluxe ocean view room (sylvia komodo resort) facing the sea on the other side, which was very good. I don’t know which room type it is on Ctrip. The hotel refers to the dulux ocean room type. This five-star score is for the new room, the old wooden one is for four stars, there are too many mosquitoes. Sylvia’s restaurant has very good products, and the sunset on the beach is also very beautiful. The quality of the sea water is very good. You can kayak and snorkel. The family sees big lobsters, but you still have to pay attention to safety. There are no lifeguards watching the sea. The seafood in the Komodo fish market is also very fresh and delicious. Except for the expensive air ticket to Komodo and the expensive one-day tour, there are no shortcomings. Generally, transportation in Indonesia is expensive. It is true that we need to take a one-way taxi to this hotel for more than 4 people for 50rmb, but I think it is ok to add the room rate. Each person is 25K IDR.
