"While sailing around the archipelago on the luxury charter yacht Celestia, I encountered two graceful monsters underwater: "giant manta rays the size of cars." The national park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the largest sanctuaries for manta rays on the planet. I also came across a stealthy cuttlefish that pretended to be dark staghorn coral and shape-shifted back to normal to swim away." - Erik Trinidad
"A remote, hard-to-reach island renowned for wild Komodo dragons that can be observed in their natural habitat, providing a rare, up-close wildlife encounter that highlights both the island’s remoteness and its unique ecological inhabitants." - Christianne Klein and Rachel Chang
"One of the few operations in the stretch that brings broader culinary credibility, this nationally successful restaurant (which includes an upstairs lounge) stands apart from nearby venues that largely offer basic drinks and uninspired DJs. Its presence is cited as a rarer example of a business that adds something beyond typical nightclub fare." - Courtney E. Smith
"Part of the New Seven Wonders of Nature, known for its unique Komodo dragons."
"Neighboring Komodo, which opened in April 2023, was cited as facing different results than some Epic restaurants: its representatives said they didn’t experience a drop in covers last summer and that they’re constantly programming their lounge and have added brunch recently to broaden offerings for the community." - Courtney E. Smith
