Family hotels and homes in Komodo

Easily one of the most rich experiences we have had on our travels. We enjoyed spending time with jecky’s family, eating delicious home cooked meals, seeing Komodos (of which there are many behind the village), trekking in the national park, swimming with mantas, hiking Padar…the list goes on! Even just sitting on the balcony and watching the fishing boats or the resident dugong play with a sea turtle is a great way to pass the time. Jecky is a great host and has great English. You can arrange/discuss all your travels and activities with him via WhatsApp prior. And his wife is a great cook! This is a unique opportunity you will be lucky to have. It’s a homestay (not some bland hotel experience) so come ready for adventure.

My family of 3 spent 8 days here to visit the Komodo National Park islands and scuba dive the area. The location of this resort is superb...on a private island closer to the national park than any other resort so park visits and diving were close and convenient. The dive staff were fantastic and I would like to acknowledge Michael and Julia in particular for ensuring our dives were all fantastic. The house reef in front of the resort is one of the best I have seen...great for snorkelling. Our 2br beach bungalow was very spacious and comfortable...air con worked surprisingly well, and no real issue with creepy crawlies getting into the room🙂 The food was pretty good overall and the staff...especially the 2 gentlemen in the restaurant who were always smiling and helpful. Staying here was a fabulous experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to dive and explore Komodo NP.
