Went to Komodo Island, an hour away by plane from Bali, and stayed at two hotels on this trip, one of which was Sudamala Komodo Resort. The room is very spacious and the beds are made of powder blue mint green, which feels very fresh and is my favorite color. Everything is very well equipped, and the bathroom also has a bathtub and a small terrace outside the room. In addition, this resort hotel also has direct access to the private beach, perfect for watching the sunset😍 Many corners have a continental flair, which makes people feel very comfortable! #OverseasTravel #Indonesia #WeekendTravel

It really is a good place! Food and drink price is affordable. Nice swimming pool with great view. To enjoy the swimming pool, you just have to order either food or drink, and you can use the pool. There's also a bathroom next to the swimming pool. Staffs were nice as well. A unique one of a kind hotel in Labuan Bajo. A good place if peace and quiet is what you're looking for. #wecreate

The view is really beautiful, the sea is clear, but like most other island destinations the facilities available are also very minimal, haven't been managed properly, it's good it's still natural but yes it would be nice if it could be more good again. This island has a fairly long deck and is a favorite place for photos using drones, only the weather is scorching hot, but for the sake of content we are willing to lie down on the dec.. This island is very beautiful for snorkeling spots, the ornamental fish are also many and easy to lure to go up by feeding them bread. #wecreate

Very nice cafe in the harbour of Labuan Bajo. It's located on the first floor. The coffee is amazing! They have oat milk available. You can enjoy your breakfast with a view over all the boats and Komodo National Park. The croissants are very good as well. They have inside seating with airconditioning or outside. We will definitely come back. 100% recommend #wecreate

A small shop in downtown. Ice cream really tasty. The cookie you can add is delicious, in brighter colours and different shapes.. Simply the best ice cream i ever had in my life. A good variety of flavours, i wouldn’t recommend staying near this place if you’re worried about your weight on the scale because you will for sure get addicted to it. A must if you visit Labuan Bajo.. #wecreate

This is so cool! It feels like you are in Santorini.. the rooms are cool, simple and clean.. the restaurant is delicious and has many menu choices, there are 2 restaurants on the 5th and 6th floors.. there are 2 swimming pools, on floors 5 and 6. The swimming pool on the 5th floor can while watching the sunset. The sunset is really cool. The place is very instagramable, the service is really good, everyone is friendly and very helpful. If you don't stay at the hotel, you will be charged a minimum charge of IDR 300,000/person to eat here. #wecreate

Enjoying sunset in this place are marvelous and lovely. You must tracking around 20 - 30 minutes to find the best spot. All of God creation are verry beautiful here like a masterpiece painting. Just come here and enjoy the sunset with a little snack and water that you can bring on by your self. Those who don't have time to explore the islands in Labuan Bajo must come to this place, guaranteed they won't regret it. #wecreate

i love this hotel. The view is breathtaking, the staff is incredibly friendly. The rooms are beautiful and the food at the restaurant is very good. We thought it was a very good option for Labuan Bajo, where we otherwise saw only very expensive options or uninspiring lower budget ones. Important note : it is a 20 minutes (very beautiful) scooter ride from town. That being said, if you don’t drive a scooter you will pay taxis a few times during your stay. #wecreate

Beautiful place for snorkling and amazing beach - all shades of blue and green. We did a private trip by Kharisma tour and we had all the flexibility with the program for good price. We went also to another great snorkling place - Manjerite. I saw sea snake (black and white) there. The highlight came after sunset - flying foxes! This is incredible and it happens every evening #wecreate

The rooms were clean, the staff were nice, overall the vibe was very chilled and we loved the roof top bar a lot. The cocktails were amazing, the food was kind off expensive but good enough. One of the best hostels I’ve been so far. Recommended for solo traveler or budget traveler. With a relatively cheap price you can get a very good service here. Even the bunk bed rooms are so comfortable. The fnb are a little bit pricey (for me as a domestic traveler) but the taste is worth the price. #wecreate

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. This hostel is less of a hostel and more of a hotel. Suitable for absolutely everyone although I would be mindful of wheelchair access as there is lot of stairs. The rooms were very modern, spacious, and clean. Great air conditioning. The staff are helpful and organised. The pool and bar area is stunning, especially at sunset. The hostel comes alive at night with live music and extra guests. I would recommend staying here. #wecreate

#wecreate Definitely worth visiting. Very good experience. You can find tables of all sorts and sizes, pool and view is really nice. Prices maybe a bit higher, but nothing crazy. Staff is helpful and kind. i enjoyed eating in the restaurant as it was live music most of the time and a chilled atmosphere. Also, the virgin pina colada was out of this world. A must if you visit!

#wecreate I might not call myself an avid explorer but sometimes I like to try something crazy so I have something to tell my children in the future, my visit to Komodo National Park in 2019 was an awe-inspiring journey that left me breathless. Nestled in the heart of Indonesia, this natural wonderland is a sanctuary for unique wildlife and mesmerizing landscapes. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the legendary Komodo dragons 😂 well from far away because is a bit dangerous to get close to them, they are magnificent creatures that seemed like remnants from a lost world. The vibrant coral reefs were a kaleidoscope of colors, teeming with marine life. Getting to this paradise was a breeze, with various transportation options available, I booked a two day boat tour. Komodo National Park is truly a dream come true for any traveler who wants to get into the last mile. #Komodo #indonesia #dinosaur 🦕 #本地遊#campingglamping

Day trip organised by East Cruise Komodo (very nice staff!) Rupiah 1200k - 1250k Komodo National Park entrance fee Rupiah 400k (foreigner) - Padar Island - Pink Beach - Komodo Island - Taka Makassar - Manta Point

Berlayar dari Lombok ke Flores, labuan bajo sangat seronok. Perjalan 4 hari 3 malam dengan bnyk hentian di sekitarnya. Snokerling point, shark point, sunset view dan bonding sesama pengembara membuat perjalanan lebih menarik. Lautan luas dengan air laut yg jernih memukau panorama sepanjang pelayaran. Disepanjang pelayaran juga ditemani dengan ikan lumba-lumba. Banyak spot perhentian disepanjng pelayaran. melihat kanak-kanak bermain dipersisir pntai dan suasana yang nyaman. Perjalan yang memgajar pelbagai erti perngembaraan dan kesyukuran. 4 hari seperti 4 jam sahaja. tidak puas! #bucketlistreboot #flores #labuanbajo#passionpassport #staycation #gooutside #awesomepic #couplestrip

It's been 3 years since my last holiday and this trip is my most enjoyable and peaceful travel. Went for 4D3N stay in Labuan Bajo and Bali. Visited the Padar Island, Pink Beach and Komodo Island. Then a short stay in Bali. A week of stress-free 😊

Hi guys, If you decide to spend your day in Labuan Bajo, you might see a beautiful view around. You won't regret to choose Labuan Bajo instead of Bali. There's much destinations you have to know beside Bali. Bali is too way crowded now

one of the beautiful island in Labuan Bajo, warm environment, friendly people, good food! I can see the stars clearly. I highly recommend #aurora #indonesia #unforgettableexperiences

#christmasgiveaway#christmasgiveaway This place was heaven! I traveled with my good friend and her daughter from Sumbawa. We stayed at a few places before staying at Plataran Komodo Resort. When we arrived we wanted to stay forever. All the joglos are so beautiful, the beach is perfect, the pool is amazing and the food is delicious. We especially appreciate the staff that were so kind and attentive. We had already done al the excursions before arriving at the hotel so we relaxed and enjoyed all the services they had available. We are so grateful to Bunga, Rian and Eggi! They are so wonderful and such a good asset. We hope to be back and visit some day soon again!
