Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is quite standard and doesn't really justify its price, especially when you compare it to other nearby options. The noise from early morning dive preparations can be disruptive, but the views from the balcony and friendly service were definitely highlights. Overall, while the staff was helpful, the hotel lacks certain features and comfort that could make it a better experience.
My experience with Blue Marlin in Labuan Bajo was incredible! I had three fantastic dives, and the reception staff were not just helpful but also organized everything perfectly. The only downside was the noise from the restaurant below my room, which made it hard to sleep at times. Overall, the diving was the highlight, with knowledgeable instructors and beautiful sites, but the accommodation could use some improvement.
I had a wonderful experience diving with Blue Marlin in Labuan Bajo. The resort exceeded my expectations, especially due to its fantastic dive shop. However, I did face some issues with the air conditioning and the toiletries, which were disappointing. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would consider returning, but I'd make sure to check the room amenities first.
My experience at Blue Dive Komodo started off rocky with a mix-up on my booking, but ultimately offered some nice amenities. The rooms were spacious with beautiful views, but the noise from the restaurant below was quite disruptive. I felt the service lacked the professionalism expected from a 4-star place, despite their effort to make amends with complimentary cocktails. Overall, I see a lot of potential for improvement here.
