Plataran Komodo Resort & Spa

This was one of the warmest welcomes we have ever had in many years of travel. The room was beautiful. We were travelling in low season so some activities were affected by the weather but Jeffrey and his team did everything possible to give us a memorable and friendly stay. We would stay at a Plataran resort again. It felt more in harmony with the surroundings than many international resorts

I stayed at Plataran Komodo with my friend Diane and her daughter Isabelle, and had a truly lovely and memorable experience.||The resort has a beautiful rustic, communal yet private vibe that feels both authentic and cozy. The pace of life here is wonderfully relaxed, and the surroundings feel thoughtfully integrated with nature. While the villas are relatively close together, the layout is well designed and never felt cramped or intrusive.||One of our favourite parts of the resort was the private beach and corals. We loved walking out to the jetty to snorkel directly from the resort and explore the coral garden, where we spotted a good variety of marine life and fish. It was such an easy and rewarding way to enjoy the sea without needing to travel far. oh yes, the sunsets are lovely! ||What really elevated our stay, however, was the warmth, professionalism, and genuine care shown by the staff throughout our visit. Our butler, Daniel, was exceptional. He's attentive, kind, and always proactive. No request ever felt like a hassle, whether it was helping to arrange itineraries, preparing packed lunches, or ensuring pool towels were ready for us. His service made our stay incredibly smooth and comfortable.||Special thanks as well to the team at Xanadu, who served us breakfast each morning with big smiles and great energy. We are fairly picky eaters and needed some customisations to our dishes, and every request was handled seamlessly and graciously. If you’re a coffee lover, be sure to ask the staff for their local coffee! it’s well worth trying :) ||Housekeeping kept our villa spotless, and the front desk team were consistently friendly and welcoming, making both check-in and check-out a breeze. ||A special shout-out to Samuel, their intern from Bandung, who was wonderfully warm and helpful. He assisted us with sea sports equipment, deck chairs, and even set up a small painting corner for Isabelle. She was absolutely thrilled to paint on a canvas and now has a beautiful souvenir artwork to remember the trip by. We’d also like to mention Margeretha, an intern from Sumba, whose bright smile and friendly morning chats always started our days on a lovely note.||We enjoyed our dinners at Atlantis on the Rock, and especially loved the lobster served during the resort’s New Year’s Eve party. The event was fun, relaxed, and well organised, with party games that allowed guests to mingle. Such an enjoyable way to ring in the new year.||We stayed in the Grand Pool Villa, the beachfront villa located towards the end of the resort near the spa. It felt very private and secluded, with a generous amount of space that easily accommodated an extra bed. The spa itself was excellent! We loved the serene setting, and the massage I had was deeply relaxing. Do ensure you book in advance, ideally 2 or 3 days prior. ||Overall, we absolutely loved our stay and would happily return. That said, a few minor nitpicks that could make an already great resort even better:||As the resort is closely integrated with nature, insects such as millipedes do appear occasionally. They are harmless and didn’t bother us, but guests who are anxious about insects should be aware. Mosquitoes are present too, though manageable with repellent.||The bathroom was spacious, but we would have appreciated a few additional amenities such as mouthwash and facial tissues. The shower headset holder was slightly loose and could use some maintenance. The outdoor bathroom was lovely, though the shower head could protrude outward a little more for comfort.||The sun lounger cushions would benefit from being better secured or tied to the chairs, as they tend to slip when lying down.||The beach itself is pleasant and well maintained, though not as clear as those on offshore islands, which was not a disappointment at all. Kudos to the staff and security team for keeping it clean and private.||Some of the sea sports equipment could use maintenance; during our stay, the glass-bottom kayaks and one stand-up paddleboard needed repair.||The gym felt limited for those who enjoy weight training; a wider variety of weights would be appreciated.||The pool area was great for Isabelle to play in and for us to relax. We just wished poolside service was a little more seamless, as we usually had to walk to Xanadu for food, drinks, and towels. Its not a big issue, but added convenience would be nice.||These are all minor points, and they did not detract from what was a truly wonderful and relaxing holiday. A big thank you to the entire team at Plataran Komodo for making us feel so at home. We left with beautiful memories and would love to return again in the future.

This place is just spectacular! The staff was amazing. The rooms were beautiful, quiet, luxurious and comfortable. They totally pampered you in every way (hand written notes, fresh fruit in your room, water left at your front door to wash your feet) This is the most beautiful bathroom I've ever seen...lol 😍❤️ and it was the biggest indoor and outdoor bathroom I've ever seen in all my travels. The food here was great *esp the breakfast. I was disappointed in the water/ocean here as it was not as nice as some of the other places I have stayed in bali but....the pool was really nice. If you go onto the dock-the snorkeling was really nice!

Beautiful, quiet resort in a stunning location with great snorkeling right off their private pier. Villas are large and designed with local tones, comfortable and clean. Staff is young, enthusiastic and lovely. Overall a fantastic place to stay and well worth returning to.

Truly the best resort I’ve ever been in my life. The moment I enter the room was magnificent and the nature is amazing. The activity is included and complimentary which is nice to enjoy my holiday.||Big thanks to Daniel & team for making my stay memorable and always taking care of us. Daniel such a good person & give many recommendations which I need the most. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed the luxury and were lavishly pampered throughout our stay. The accommodation is immaculate, the beds are supremely comfortable and the bathroom is spacious; nothing is lacking. There is a selection of pillows to suit every preference. Arrival was exceptional: a welcome drink, a guided tour of the resort and a warm personal introduction to our villa. The food is of high quality, with both restaurants offering similar menus. We found the international buffet to be of slightly lesser standard. The room is serviced twice daily. Communication is handled through a dedicated personal butler. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Steve for his exemplary service and thoughtful personal touches. As members of the LGBTQ community we felt both safe and cherished. I wholeheartedly recommend Plataran Komodo.

We had an amazing stay at Plataran Komodo! The service was exceptional from start to finish — we especially appreciated having a dedicated butler (Daniel) who took care of everything so thoughtfully. The resort’s location is simply stunning, with a beautiful reef right in front that’s perfect for snorkelling. We also loved the seamless arrival experience — the team kindly arranged a complimentary airport pick-up and transferred us to the resort by boat, which made the start of our holiday truly memorable. The spa massage was absolutely relaxing, and the meals and sunset views at Atlantis On the Rock were superb. Highly recommend Plataran Komodo for anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing island getaway!

We had mixed feelings about our stay at Plataran.|The location is beautiful and the concept behind the property is very special. As a couple, we really appreciated the natural setting and the intention to create a peaceful experience. The staff was generally kind, and there are many good ideas behind the hotel.|However, there were several aspects that prevented this from being a great experience. Some areas of the property felt a bit neglected and could benefit from better maintenance. More importantly, we felt that pricing was not always transparent. For example, local taxis that normally cost around 100,000 were quoted to us at 200,000 through the hotel, which made us feel uncomfortable and taken advantage of.|For a hotel in this price range, trust and consistency are very important. With better attention to detail and clearer pricing, this place could truly live up to its potential.|Overall, it was an okay stay with a beautiful concept, but there is definitely room for improvement.
