Ayana Komodo Waecicu Beach
$250-450 / malam
Pesan ini jika You want the only true five-star luxury 'resort bubble' in Labuan Bajo where you can sip cocktails on a private jetty while watching the sunset over Kukusan Island.
Mengapa Orang Menyukainya
- Every single room has an ocean view—no bad angles here
- The private 250-meter jetty with a bar at the end is the ultimate sunset spot
- Impeccable service that actually meets international luxury standards
Ringkasan Cepat: It’s a stunning, isolated gilded cage that charges a premium for keeping you away from the gritty charm of the main town.
Ditinjau oleh @Travelholicday: I spent my days kayaking off the private pier and my evenings watching the most insane sunsets from my balcony. The water here is crystal clear, and the vibe is pure luxury without being stuffy. It’s the perfect base for exploring Komodo.

- You want a 'fly and flop' vacation where you don't need to leave the property
- You are a diver who wants luxury treatment (private jetty pickups)
- You are a couple seeking a romantic sunset spot without the backpacker crowds

5 hal yang perlu Anda tahu sebelum pergi
💡The 'Ocean View' rooms on the bottom floor have zero privacy; people walking to the pool look right in.
💡Food delivery (GrabFood) is allowed to the lobby, a lifesaver if you tire of $25 hotel pastas.
💡The lift system can be confusing as the lobby is on the top floor (level 11) and rooms are below.
💡The monkeys from the nearby forest sometimes visit the balconies—lock your doors!
💡The hotel's exchange rate is terrible; withdraw cash at the airport or in town.
