Katamaran Hotel & Resort Komodo

It was an awesome experience staying in katamaran resort. The breakfast buffet is very delicious with lot of choices. The scenery and design of the hotel is very resort vibe and clean.

The hotel and resort scene is really competitive here in Labuan Bajo. Katamaran is one of the newest hotels here, and that’s why we wanted to give it a try. The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. Though there were some hiccups at times, they offered counter solutions diligently. All rooms are ocean facing, including a spacious balcony for you to chill at. Shower was hot and with good water pressure. Only the shampoo and conditioner are not strong enough to wash off the sea water, I would suggest using your own. The best thing in the room is that they have dining area/work space, and TV across the room is available with Netflix and YouTube (auto-sign out). Excellent for winding down at night in the room. After an exhausting day trip to komodo island, we decided to take some rest here. We spent most of our time by the pool and gazebo at the boardwalk. The pool water is very cool and refreshing for hot and sunny weather. Otherwise they offer many other activities like kayak, paddle boarding, snorkeling, yoga and boxing classes, I had two great sessions of yoga at sunrise and sunset by the water. The only flaw is that Katamaran is still in the progress of expansion, hence construction noise could quite disturbing at daytime. For now, they only have one restaurant, we enjoyed our breakfasts and lunches there. Price was quite reasonable, in which breakfast was included in the booking, and lunch for two is around 600k including tax for two pax. FYR, this hotel is located around 10minute to the hotel/ town by private transfer (~100k) or grab bikes (~17k). Overall, I would be happy to be back and looking forward to more new facilities they are adding on.

The view is fantastic. Provides complimentary kayaking, stand up paddling and snorkelling. We had a good stay, the room is so comfortable with ocean view. Breakfast is good too!

Very nice, new resort. Some work still ongoing but no disturbance. Very good and big breakfast buffet and quite big food menu.

Spacious room with amazing view. Staffs are very friendly. However for a 5 stars hotel, one would think their services would be more inclusive. We asked for shuttle to town but were told they’re chargeable and the price is extremely high.

The hotel is not that far from the airport. It should take around 15 mins from the airport by taxi. There is a driver from the hotel who can pick you up at the airport, just call or text the hotel via WhatsApp. If you stay in the over ocean villa, the same driver will drive you between your room and the main building. Ivan is one of the driver there. He's the best. While you stay there, the hotel will assign one of the staff to assist you via WhatsApp. Ours is Agnes. You can text to the staff if you need anything such as call a buggy to pick you up and they reply like asap. The hotel itself is very beautiful with Japanese style interior design. The restaurant there is really good too. Located on the 2nd floor with stunning ocean view. Packed with various kind of dishes. All of the staffs there are very friendly and ready to help you to make sure you have the best experience there. Beby is one of the restaurant team. She is very cheerful, ready to serve you with huge smile on her face. We didn't try other facilities of the hotel but everything is there. Almost forget to mention about activities there. You can do kayaking and snorkeling in the ocean around the hotel which is a must. They also can provide you a selection of trip to explore Komodo islands. Full day or half day for you to join. We did a half day trip there visiting Kelor island, Kalong island and Manjarite island which was really worth it.
