Komodo Resort

I was there with my boyfriend for trip on Komodo Sea Dragon Liveboard, which is also our first liveboard. The experience is great, definitely setting a high benchmark for my future liveboard trip. Food on the boat is fresh and delicious. Every meal we have plenty of options. I brought many snacks on the boat actually, but didn’t have chance to eat. Room is great, not only the sea view, but also always clean every time we back from the dive. What I wanna highlight is the service. Jello did a great job to plan the itinerary and safety is always emphasized. The diving group is small (within 1:4) and Jello really took care of us underwater and helped us find beautiful things to see there. Highly recommended!

A truly stunning island, crystal-clear sea and a cozy, charming bungalow created the perfect setting for rest and renewal. The privacy we enjoyed was essential to fully appreciating the natural beauty around us. But the true highlight of our stay was the service—the people who work there are the soul of the resort. Special thanks to Ellen, Riva, Ovan, and Ovan L., who impressed us with their warmth, professionalism, and sincere dedication to making every moment unforgettable. Their kindness and attention to detail made us feel truly welcomed and cared for. The surrounding coral reef is breathtaking—vibrant, diverse, and full of life. Snorkeling was one of the most fascinating activities we did. We encountered turtles, squids, reef sharks and countless species of colorful fish. The underwater world here is simply mesmerizing. The dive center is also excellent—well-equipped and run by a great team. Our dive guide, Said, stood out for his calm presence and good mood. An unforgettable experience in every way!

I booked the resort and their liveaboard in Komodo. I wanted to dive a lot with the liveaboard and then take some peace and quiet. Great experience both on the boat and at the resort. The dive guides were great, everything was always done on time and I didn’t even have to do anything to move from the boat to the island… I was treated like a king. The resort is more rustic compared to their liveaboard but it fits the peaceful island vibe. Weather was tricky but the people managed it well. Food was great both on the liveaboard and at the resort and it was good the food was different also, good for a change after a week of liveaboard. Special thanks to all everyone for making me feel like special. Top class service from picking me up from the airport to dropping me back off and saying goodbye.

We stayed at the resort this past June and we had a blast! We came off from their live aboard and wanted to relax a bit before going back to China. The food was amazing and surprising for an island in the middle of the ocean. My kids loved the beach and the snorkeling... so many things to see. If we come back next time we will stay at the resort. It’s more fun for families

We went to the 8D/7N Komodo Sea Dragon Liveaboard. I love the overall experience and I highly recommend it. - Diving experience The dive sites in Komodo are absolutely amazing. The dive masters on the liveaboard is very professional and experienced. - Living experience The main boat, diving boat and speed boat are all well maintained and clean. Food is also super delicious. The crew really took care of us.

My friend and I spent a phenomenal week aboard the Komodo Sea Dragon, thanks to the exceptional hospitality provided by Jello and his crew members. Diving: The dive masters were all highly experienced and knowledgeable. The briefing before each dive was comprehensive and the site maps were skillfully drawn. For reference, we were rookie divers with ＜50 dives when we boarded, but always felt comfortable under water, even at the sites with stronger currents. Be honest with your dive master about your skill level; they also provided constructive feedback that helped us improve. Non-diving activities: We had a few excursions on land, which included Padar island sunrise trek, Komodo dragons tour, chilling at Pink Beach, and hanging out at the Komodo Resort. They were all well organized and the guests were accompanied by a few crew members each time. Food: The meals were freshly prepared each day and consisted of a variety of Indonesian and western cuisines. There were plenty of protein, carbs, fruits and vegetable options. Most of the guests onboard had low spice tolerance, which they accommodated while making sure the food was still tasty. When I got sick mid-way through the trip, the chef cooked special meals for me. Rooms: We chose the mid-sized cabin, which easily fit two large open suitcases with space to spare. The beds were super comfortable and the housekeeping staff cleaned the rooms everyday. Although the showers had hot water, it does become more lukewarm if everyone is showering at the same time - usually after the last dive and before dinner (this might be common on all liveaboards). The room came with the necessary amenities - towels, microfiber towels, hand soap, shampoo/conditioner, body lotion, hair dryer (I have long hair and it works quite well), different types of outlets for electronics (very convenient). Service: All the crew members were polite, friendly, and attentive. They were easy to chat with and they occasionally play the guitar. :) The dive boat and the nitrox compressor had some technical issues during the trip, but the crew proactively addressed the challenges. I had a great experience on my first liveaboard and would highly recommend the Komodo Sea Dragon. Komodo was an amazing diving destination and I can't wait to be back for more adventure! Pro-tip: Make sure to come with lots of energy and be prepared to dive 3 - 4 times per day, for a total of 21 dives in addition to the land excursions.
