Why People Love It
- The legendary 'night surfing' spectacle under floodlights
- Adults-only pool that actually stays quiet
- Health Hub with organic food, serious gym, and daily yoga
Quick Take: A surfer's paradise that successfully gentrified itself into a family-friendly wellness resort, but don't expect to walk to any shops.
Reviewed by @marlenejaas: I stayed in the Beachfront Pool Suite at Hotel Komune and it was unreal. Opening the curtains to my own private pool and the ocean was the best way to wake up. It felt super luxurious but still laid-back. Highly recommend for a treat yourself trip.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
The 'Resort Rooms' (cheapest category) are shockingly small and lack privacy, with neighbors easily looking in.
- You surf (or love watching people surf)
- You want a vacation that includes CrossFit and cold-pressed juice
- You prefer sunrise yoga over late-night clubbing
Cleanliness & Maintenance
8.8
- Housekeeping: Daily and efficient. They deal with a lot of sand and salt, and generally keep on top of it.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are modern and clean, though ground floor units can fight a losing battle against humidity (minor musty smells occasionally reported).
- Maintenance: Grounds are manicured to perfection. Rooms are well-kept, though the salt air takes a toll on metal fixtures over time.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, but pool towels can sometimes run out by late afternoon.
- Odors & scents: Mostly fresh ocean air and frangipani, with the occasional whiff of dampness in the wet season.

FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Can I swim in the ocean?
Technically yes, but it's a heavy reef break with strong currents. Better for surfing than leisurely dipping.
Is it good for families?
Surprisingly yes. There's a kids' club, skate park, and a dedicated family pool, but the vibe is more 'active family' than 'resort entertainment'.
How expensive is the food?
Resort prices. Mains are $10-18 USD, plus 21% tax/service. It adds up if you don't leave the property.
Is there nightlife?
Not really. The Beach Club has music and night surfing to watch, but it shuts down relatively early. This is an early-to-bed, early-to-rise spot.
Can I get a Grab/Gojek to the hotel?
You can get dropped off, but they cannot pick you up. You'll need to negotiate with local drivers or use hotel transport to leave.
What is the 'Health Hub'?
It's a dedicated zone with an adults-only pool, a massive functional gym, organic cafe, and spa. It's the best part of the hotel for non-surfers.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Walk 2 minutes down the beach to 'Locas Waroeng' for excellent local food at half the price of the hotel.
- ✨
Book the 'Night Surf' slot in advance if you want to surf under the floodlights; it's limited to 6 people per session.
- ✨
The 'Health Hub' pool is adults-only and usually empty while the main pool is packed with kids.
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'Resort Rooms' have a motel-style layout where people walk right past your window.
💡The black sand gets so hot at midday it can literally blister your feet.
💡You are in a 'transport mafia' zone where app-based taxis are blocked from pickups.
💡The night surfing floodlights are incredibly bright—great to watch, but bring an eye mask if your room faces the beach.
💡The on-site vegetable garden actually supplies the restaurant (it's not just for show).
