Komodo Hotels with Balcony

AYANA Komodo is a truly beautiful resort, set in a stunning hillside location. The coral reef directly in front of the hotel is absolutely fantastic and a real highlight. The service is excellent, the breakfast is superb, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. The entire resort is beautifully maintained and in top condition, and it is simply gorgeous at every time of day. There is an app to book activities and reserve restaurant tables during your stay. We found that annoying as you need to book almost everything one day in advance otherwise everything is fully booked. One small criticism is the kids’ club. For a resort of this standard, it feels rather limited and somewhat outdated in terms of facilities and activities. There are only a few toys, and the activities on offer are quite basic. Some do cost extra but are also not very special. This is definitely an area with room for improvement. The staff is kind.

I really regret not discovering this hotel sooner! The hotel has a very quiet, Southeast Asian vibe. The service is also much better than hotels near the main tourist street. They offer yoga classes, morning Zumba on the beach, and even a diving club. I stayed at three different hotels in Labuan Bajo, and if I come back, this will be my top choice. The only thing to watch out for is mosquitoes in the room, but the front desk will provide mosquito coils if you ask.

Fantastic location, great views and clean room! My flight got cancelled so i could only check in one day later which they accommodated in terms of timing. I was able to call them through Trip.com and managed to communicate with them quite easily. Room was cleaner than expected! No insects at all, only 2-3 spiders. No hair found on sheets or sofa, no clogged drains, no foul smells. We had a room on the 3rd floor and it is accessible through lift and stairs. Sound wise, i could hear the water and door opening from the next room, nothing else. In the mornings you can hear the sounds of birds chirping and sometimes roosters crowing, pretty nice to wake up to. The sounds aren't loud enough to be disruptive. Aircon seems very new. No old musty smells, very clean and fresh. Hotel staff are responsive and helpful too. Overall, I would stay here again! Rooms are clean and spacious, it's a short 5 min walk to town, a convenient walk to the airport and has a great Italian restraunt next door.

An absolutely unforgettable getaway! What a special place this resort is! We spent 5 wonderful nights at Sudamala Seraya and can’t wait to return. It’s truly a little piece of paradise for a relaxing stay. The team at the resort is wonderful and looks after the guests very well. Special thanks to Nardi and Evelina for their attentiveness and service at the Lomak restaurant!

This was our second time staying at this hotel. The service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and spoke fluent English. They arranged an airport transfer for us when we inquired at the reception.

Menjaga Bay was a real staycation treat. The people at Menjaga Bay make sure you feel welcome, feel home and feel comfortable.  The experience starts with the shuttle boat which takes you on a 15-30 min boat trip to the resort. We decided to maximize our two night stay by taking the early shuttle boat at 07:15 in the morning. This meant the shuttle boat was shared with some staff members traveling from the city to the resort. The boat trip offers some nice scenery, passing many ships and islands with a nice cool breeze of air and a low sun.  At the resort we were warmly welcomed by the mostly English speaking staff. As we arrived so early the room understandably was not ready yet. We spent our morning by relaxing by the pool and having paid breakfast.  We booked a villa over the ocean. Personally we were hoping for one further out at sea, however, we received one closest to the mangrove area. Besides this providing excellent privacy, the ocean is less inviting as the water is not very deep at low tide and can be brown colored during tide changes. Also the ocean floor there is very muddy. Yet, this did not impact our overall experience at all.  Menjaga Bay is a true staycation resort. You can take some trips away from but in general you’ll spend most of your time on location. About 50-100 guests stay there so you’ll quickly familiarize yourself with the other guests if you are interested to socialize. Also, there are plenty of ways to enjoy your day, whether you book a treatment at the spa, spend the day at the pool, go for a swim in the ocean, go snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, you simply won’t get bored easily.  I would generally advice a 2-5 night stay at Menjaga Bay, any more than that and you may feel bored eventually.  The staff of Menjaga Bay was also very kind in arranging various complimentary birthday celebration arrangements for my partner, these were excellent. Even though my partner sadly did not feel well due to a cold, she still enjoyed her birthday (also because of the menjaga bay staff noticing her illness and assisting in various ways through foods, drinks and medicine). In general everything was nearly perfect about our stay at Menjaga Bay. My one point of critique is the lack of snack options. In general only breakfast, lunch and diner is offered. Besides some complimentary peanuts at the sunset bar there were no small food options. In the afternoon, it would be lovely to have some smaller snacks that go along great with some drinks. The smallest food on the menu fitting that description was fish and chips which was a rather large portion.

The room was really spacious and even had a balcony! It's super close to the airport and just around the corner from the main street. Out of all the places we stayed during our two weeks in Indonesia, this was definitely our favorite hotel! They cleaned our room every day, and the front desk staff always greeted us with a smile. When everyone you meet is smiling, it's impossible to be in a bad mood, right?! Hahahaha, I didn't take any hotel photos, only pictures of the beautiful Komodo scenery.

Overall, this is a unique and memorable accommodation with a beautiful view, a cozy room, and genuinely friendly staff. One of the standout features is the private outdoor bathroom, which makes for a special experience—showering under the open sky and even catching a glimpse of the stars. The laundry service was also convenient and added to the overall comfort of the stay. There are a few practical considerations to keep in mind. The final stretch of road leading to the guesthouse is in poor condition; while it wasn’t an issue for me, it could be challenging for those who are not confident riding a scooter. Additionally, the nearby mosque broadcasts prayers late at night and early in the morning (around 4:45 am), which can be quite loud and may disrupt sleep if you’re sensitive to noise. I would recommend this place for travelers who appreciate unique stays and don’t mind the outdoor bathroom setup, the rough access road, or the early morning and nighttime noise.

Located north of Bajau city, this hotel is a bit out of the way, but the views are absolutely stunning – perfect for watching both sunrise and sunset. The balcony offers sea views, and the rooms are spacious, well-equipped, and very comfortable! The balcony itself is a highlight, with both pool and sea views. It's most convenient if you're driving or have a chartered car, as it's about a 15-minute drive to Bajau center. Nearby Sylvia Hill is a local favorite for sunset viewing, and it's truly breathtaking! When we went out to sea early the next morning, the hotel even prepared an incredibly generous breakfast box for us. The restaurant also boasts amazing 180-degree sea views and a fantastic location. For just over 600 a night, the value for money is exceptional. Highly recommend staying here if you have a car or chartered transport! Drone footage from the hotel balcony is absolutely incredible!!

The hotel environment is excellent. We booked a sea-view room, and there's a beautiful beach right outside. The hotel breakfast was very good, and the lunch and dinner we had at the hotel were also quite delicious.
