Sudamala Resort, Seraya, Flores Reviews

Fantastic resort. Luxurious accommodation with very comfortable beds and no internet in the room which allowed for a proper digital detox.  The house reef was healthy with a superb range of fish and even spotted a turtle swimming one morning with the water sparkling clean. The dive centre is fully equipped with free use of snorkels, kayaks and stand up paddle boards.  Really felt like we could have been in the Maldives where we have had similar resort experiences but this was a fraction of the price. The restaurant served delicious gourmet dishes with a great blend of western food and Indonesian. Breakfast was not a buffet which I loved.  A hidden gem and a great spot to see the Komodo Dragons and the pink beaches.

Really enjoyed the stay and would definitely recommend to friend or visit again if I ever visit KOMODO again. The staffs are cheerful, the rooms are nice, the food is not bad. We were luck to stay during the New Year Eve and there are a special celebration dinner with live band and firework, which is really a memorable experience. The beach is ok, you can go further and heard there is a chance to see turtles, however recently it is jelly fish season so we didnt snokel for long, but overally very happy about the stay.

The hotel offers a range of services (hotel transfer, via speedboat, snorkeling in their exclusive coral reef, etc. ) and the staff is very welcoming, making travelers feel special guests. The island is perfect for relaxation, allowing guests to connect with other guests if they want, as the number of rooms/bungalows is limited. The beach and coral reef are immaculate and very safe from dangerous currents allowing close approach with colorful fish, sea turtles and other tropical marine creatures. Facilities are well maintained and the limited wifi (mostly accessible from the restaurant area) means that you can stay isolated from the external world and connect to it only when you want to. Price is very reasonable for the excellence of the service provided. Ideal for couples or single travellers looking for tranquility.

The hotel environment is great! Everyone is very friendly and enthusiastic. Although no staff can speak Chinese, even someone like me who is not very good at English did not feel any inconvenience. Everyone is enthusiastic and proactive in providing us with help (special mention to the guy in the first picture, who helped us a lot in our dining experience. We will miss you). Of course, there is still room for improvement in some hygiene details, but it does not affect my good impression of it at all. If you are like us, you have high requirements for the natural environment and like a quiet and original holiday experience, this hotel can definitely satisfy you. I think I will go back and hope that the hotel will get better and better.

I love everything here. My kids can't stop snorkeling for 6 hours every day. In the morning, after the tide recedes, we see beautiful corals and schools of colorful fish near the trench (we also saw lionfish today). After the tide rises in the afternoon, Mr./Ms. Turtle will come to the coral reef to feed. At night, the "timid" sea urchins come out again [snickering]. The food on the island is also very good, especially the dinner dish called "Catch of the day", which is the main dish made with fish caught that day. Tuna fish is my favorite. I recommend you to try it. The sound of the waves and the birds under the eaves also cured our sleep problems. We sleep deeply until dawn every day [sun]. The staff is also very friendly, the email communication is smooth and the route to the pier is clearly guided. It is very cost-effective.

Hygiene: I can only give a bad review. If you want to book, remember to book a room with a mosquito net. The room type we booked was finally given a room that had not been used for a long time, so that the sheets were covered with small insects falling from the ceiling. Environment: The natural geographical environment is very good, which is unquestionable. The hotel is built on the beach, and each room is an independent cottage. It is a few steps into the sea. You can snorkel, take a boat to the depth, swim and paddle. It couldn't be more convenient, the water is really clear, and the snorkeling experience is very good. Service: There are not many hotel waiters. Although it can be seen that everyone wants to do their best, the efficiency is not high, which forced us to cancel our original itinerary and finally transfer to ** Island Hotel, which is very troublesome. Because of the mosquito problem, we were provided with a change of room, on house lunch and transfer to ** Island Hotel, which can be regarded as solving the problem. But the tossing that should not have happened, because the internal communication efficiency and the response rate to customers are too low, led to unnecessary tossing. Originally, we stayed on the island for 2 nights, but we could only transfer to ** Island, and the experience was not good. Facilities: The hotel has its own marine equipment and facilities for free rental, which is quite convenient. The rental center cooperates with a local diving club and provides one-day tours that depart directly from the hotel pier. Otherwise, the hotel building is relatively old, but it is actually better managed and the service quality has been improved, which is still very good.
