Reviews of Dragon Dive Komodo Dive Resort 3 stars

Renovations were a bit noisy

Good location

There was construction at the property with building materials around the pool. Staff were not helpful. Quite a loud events venue across the road. Gym equipment is very poor.

Great location

Pool.

When you sleep you need ear drops. The mosque is so aloud 04 am that you can’t sleep without ear drops.. Kettle was but no coffee’s..

Clean rooms, great staff, good location. They made my room every day it was fantastic. The diving staff were friendly, informative and approachable.

I didn't like being told I wasnt allowed to dive with any other dive shop following my booking. The irony of this is I would have dived with them regardless as it is an excellent dive shop. Absoultely no complaints regarding the dive centre. I just don't like being forced into something/feeling like I have no options on my holiday.

Design is cool, nice diver vibe to sit around the pool in the evening.

We booked a private room. Beds are absolutely not comfortable . Mattresses are hard; bed sheets are cheap synthetic fabrics that create static electricity and sparks as you try to sleep.No blankets offered. If you like to sleep in comfort, I don’t recommend. Bathroom door doesn’t close tight, so no privacy. Room rate is quite high comparing to other hotels , and it’s not the best value for money. We planned to stay 3 nights but changed hotel after one, as it’s not worth it.

The pool is very nice and the art around the property is amazing. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom is very nice. It is easy to book dives right there on site. The restaurant is also very nice.

Number one thing we loved: the building is well insulated so we couldn’t hear the prayers played over the loud speakers too much, which is very important for a light sleeper like me. The room was very clean and comfortable, the bathroom was nice and had a separate shower area. There was hot water, more than anywhere else we stayed in Indonesia, and they provide body soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The restaurant was yummy though a little pricy (though on-par with other touristy restaurants in Bajo), and the kitchen staff were very nice. They were able to modify a lot of the dishes to make them vegetarian for me. The pool is a great size (built for diving lessons) and seems to be well maintained. The gym is also well stocked with workout gear!

Our main issue was feeling a little harassed by the staff as every time we left our room they would pitch activities/excursions to us. We did not enjoy feeling like we couldn’t step outside without them trying to sell us something. Also, on the day we checked out, their main activity coordination guy introduced himself to us and tried to get us to sign up for their activities. This would have been nice except he already pitched the same stuff to us multiple times in the preceding days, and we had already checked out of the hotel… Our other main annoyance was that our room was located next to a room they’re using to store cleaning and construction supplies. This meant that the staff was right outside our door early every morning, and they were not quiet. I was awoken several times by them fully yelling to each other and laughing loudly. It’s great they get along, but it was a little too loud for me to sleep. The restaurant is in the top floor of the hotel, but you have to walk outside to get up to it and there is no covering over the stairs so they get very slippery in the rain. I did fall down the stairs because of how slippery it was. Finally, as other reviews have mentioned, the staff are usually hanging out around the pool area. This is fine, but we did feel a little watched when using the pool, especially as two young foreign women. Bajo seems to be a bit more of a conservative area, so we tried to cover up as much as we could. We just still felt very observed.

Beautiful little hotel, much in the centre of the city. Many things, incl. the port easy to reach by walking. For sporty ones: we even arrived by walking from the airport... ;) Lovely little pool, cute naming / styling of rooms. Nice fresh juices and food. Even tough you are not going for scuba diving a nice place to stay! Would choose it again!

Depending the room you have, kitchen might be noisy... we were right below - so everything (moving chairs, cutting stuff) can be heard pretty loud. For me it was ok - others might be bothered.

Good ambiance and great location

Upstairs room the toilet hard to flash.

location, easy to book komodo tour through them, provided conditioner in the rooms

on two separate nights i saw rats running around the swimming pool, the air conditioner in the room only just got cold enough for it to be a comfortable nights sleep, staff weren’t overly friendly

The team could not have been more friendly and helpful. Thank you!

Loved our stay here. Great rooms and nice pool, however it’s the staff that make this place awesome. Both the dive staff and hotel staff are phenomenal.

Local Indonesian Staff

After booking a non-refundable hotel, we didn't check the messages and missed the policy that all guests must dive with their dive center. Fortunately, we hadn't made any other bookings, so it was fine for us. We arrived at the resort with positive vibes from Malaysia. The reception staff, who were locals, were okay and explained everything as usual. However, at the dive center, the French staff member, who looked Chinese, didn't seem to know how to smile, which dampened my mood a bit. Thankfully, another local staff member approached us with the right attitude, which lifted my spirits. The diving experience was just average. Only a few staff members were friendly and spoke English. Most of the divers were French, and some of them seemed gloomy. On the second night, there were on and off electricity issues, and I woke up a few times because of the heat. I had to wake up early feeling tired due to the interrupted sleep. On the third day, I asked one of the French staff members for a diving video that another staff member had mentioned during the dive. He simply said no. When I asked again, he ignored me. I decided to ask other staff members instead. Later, I asked him about the price of a diving shirt, and he arrogantly replied, "I am not working now," without even looking at me. What the heck! On the last day before we checked out, there were water issues, which was another minus point for this so-called "resort." In conclusion, there are many other options in Labuan Bajo, and I would not recommend this hotel.

All the staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was great and the bed very comfortable. The diving was incredible. Will come again for sure.

Friendly and easy atmosphere. Great location. Breakfast

It was very convenient, the restaurant was good and the staff were very nice. They were able to give us an early breakfast so that we could eat before our flight.

Great downtown location. Close to restaurants and shops. Comfortable bed and pillows. Helpful staff and great coffee.

friendly staff, clean accommodation, good price/quality ratio

It did not look like so nice as on the photos at all, much more out-dated rooms, no lightbulbs in the lamps. Pretty basic accommodation, but cheap so that is ok. It is visible that the hotel is mainly for the divers, during the day it is lively, fortunately in the night it was silent. You will get a message that you cannot dive with another diving school otherwise you will be kicked out, but it was ok, we did not have in plan to dive at all.

beautiful, easy access, in the city, very near to everywhere. walkabout to everywhere.

i dont know

Very cool community with fun property and amenities. We loved the convenience of the dive center being right in the middle of things. The team could not have been more friendly and welcoming. Our room was spacious and clean, the AC was strong and the water hot. The restaurant on property was delicious - we enjoyed most meals there! It’s in a walkable area with great restaurants all within easy reach. As for our dive day - the dive masters and instructors are all pros and we were in very capable hands with them. They planned a well executed day including all the equipment we needed to three dive sites and we saw some incredible reef, turtles, sharks and more. Couldn’t recommend Dragon Dive more!

Nothing!
