Plataran Komodo

Most of the staff does not speak enough english, which causes lots of mistakes. I felt sorry for Mr Freddy, he has to solve many problems because of that, he is doing an excellent job! I would recommend to take a better chef for the restaurant, and new cushions for the swimmingpool/beach beds, it would give the hotel extra shine. The location!, it is a beautiful quiet spot! We loved Mr Freddy, he tried to do as much as possible to make our stay as perfect. The spa area is nice, spacious, clean and quiet rooms.

We went to Labuan Bajo to see the Komodo dragons and made Plataran our base for a few days. This small resort sits on a beautiful, quiet beach and has a lovely, laid-back feel. Our two-storey 'villa' was well appointed and perfect for two adults and two kids. Although service can be a bit haphazard at times, the staff are very genuine, friendly and helpful. The resort has its own 'phinisi' sailboat which is the perfect way to go and see the dragons. Yoga in the morning and snorkelling off the jetty kept us busy at other time. However, it must be said that there is not much else to see outside the resort. Labuan Bajo is not a pretty town, so better be prepared to 'stay in' for a few days

Room beside the reception, noise of air conditioning either reception and kitchen. communication should be done in advance. Snorkling quality close to the hotel because transparency and green color. Great staff very helpful and skillful, Excellent food either dinner or breakfast Great room design, really you feel in a paradise in Asia Quiet place during the day, you can take your stress out.

We spent 4 magical nights here. The staff were amazing, everyone was so helpful, the food was great (mostly local) and the room was divine. The place is remote but the location is incredible! For my boys this was a trip of a lifetime, we saw Komodo dragons, incredible snorkelling, hiked up Padar for amazing views & swam with manta rays. Another highlight was the day trip organised by the resort which included a picnic in a treehouse on a private beach (yes, just us!) and Rangko Cave.

Airport transfer was not included, while the other less expensive hotel/resort provide it as free facilities The villas are beautiful Indonesian traditional Joglo house. It has spacious room and especially in garden villa, the bathroom is huge. The staffs is super friendly. The facilities for water sport like canoe, paddle board or snorkling is OK. Breakfast is not a buffet but an ala carte all you can order...hehehe :) We stayed here between our trip to Komodo Island (one night before the trip in beachfront villa and one night after at garden villa). Thanks for the free 60 min massage, we love it!
