Labuan Bajo

This is a high-end hotel in the city, and the ocean view upon entering is absolutely stunning. I just wish Klook had mentioned that booking an ocean-view room includes complimentary airport transfers. I only found out at check-in that round-trip airport transfers were free. The breakfast selection is extensive, with many local specialty foods to choose from.

I had a wonderful stay at Loccal Collection Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. The check-in process was smooth, and the hospitality throughout my stay made me feel right at home. The room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was very comfortable, and I appreciated the attention to detail in both the room amenities and housekeeping. The hotel’s location is also a great advantage, making it convenient to explore nearby attractions while still enjoying a peaceful atmosphere. The facilities were well maintained, and the overall ambience was stylish and relaxing. What stood out the most was the excellent service from the entire team. Their friendliness and professionalism truly enhanced my experience. I highly recommend Loccal Collection Hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, memorable, and enjoyable stay. I would definitely love to return on my next visit!

Loved our stay. Rooms were clean and cosy. Complimentary breakfast was great, and staff were super friendly. Location was a bit out of the way so a bit hard to get around, and the hotel's transport charges were quite high. Gojek and grab only seems to have bike transport available, and it wasn't possible to book a car.

An elderly father and his son went diving together. They were newly certified, beginner-level divers, so they hired a one-on-one dive guide. The guide from AZUL was very friendly to beginners. We also met a young woman from Singapore in our group, so even poor English wasn't an issue. We didn't see any manta rays, but we'll definitely be back.

Awesome service by the crew. Customer service was on top. Got to see Manta Rays and beautiful creatures. Worth every penny ❤️

Isang Koreano ako na nag-honeymoon dito. Sa simula, nag-aalangan ako dahil mas kaunti ang review kumpara sa ibang lugar, pero nagtiwala ako sa review ng kapwa Koreano at nag-book. Sobrang irerekomenda ko ito! Ohana ang pangalan ng kumpanya, maganda ang kondisyon ng bangka, at sa bawat puntong pinupuntahan namin, kahit maraming tao, binibigyan kami ng maliliit na bulaklak para hindi kami malito. Napakababait din ng mga guide. Sa Manta Point, hindi ako nakapasok dahil natakot ako, pero kinuha ng mga guide ang cellphone ko at sila mismo ang pumasok para kunan ako ng video, kaya napakagaling nila!

I rushed to eat breakfast at the hotel and headed to the lobby because I was told they would pick me up at 6:30 AM, but they didn't arrive until 6:45 AM, which was frustrating. 15 minutes in the morning is a big deal. Other than that, it was a perfect tour with no complaints. We didn't see any manta rays, but we saw many sea turtles, and the guide took some great videos with my camera! They did an excellent job, and it made for a wonderful memory! We wished we could have been in the videos too if we were better at diving, but maybe next time. We were told it would be lucky to see two Komodo dragons during mating season, but we saw about ten. We even witnessed them fighting, which was very impressive! It was a fulfilling day! Regarding the boat: It was quite cramped and narrow when everyone was seated inside. Regarding safety: I later learned that in July of this year, a Chinese couple drowned in this area because they couldn't swim and weren't wearing life jackets. If you're not confident in your swimming abilities, please declare it and rent a life jacket. Don't do anything reckless, cause an accident, and then blame others.

Kondisyon ng Bangka: Napakaganda ng kondisyon ng bangka! Malinis ito, walang anumang bahagi na maaaring makasakit, at ligtas. Ah! Sa mga araw na malalaki ang alon, naisip ko na maganda sana kung may seatbelt para hindi mahulog sa upuan kahit nakaupo lang habang mabilis ang takbo :) Gabay: Si Yoga ay nagbigay ng briefing sa itinerary ng tour at ipinaalam ang mga patakaran na dapat sundin para sa kaligtasan at pangangalaga ng mga lugar na pinupuntahan. Sa bawat lugar ng tour, masigla at positibo siyang kumuha ng magagandang litrato at natural na nakipag-usap. Sa snorkeling, ginabayan niya kaming mag-asawa na hindi sanay lumangoy sa dagat sa pamamagitan ng paghawak sa life tube, at dahil doon, nakita namin ang magagandang corals at isda, pati na rin ang mga pagong at pating! Kung maglalakbay ang mga kaibigan ko sa Labuan Bajo sa susunod, gusto ko siyang irekomenda! Itinerary: Pupunta kami sa Padar Island, Pink Beach, Komodo National Park, pagkatapos ay kakain ng tanghalian, bibisita sa isang magandang beach, at pagkatapos ay mag-snorkeling sa Manta Point at Reef Point. Nagsimula ito ng 6 AM at natapos ng mga 3:30-4 PM, na sa tingin ko ay sapat lang :) Kaligtasan: Dahil may mga propesyonal na boat driver at staff, wala kaming gaanong inaalala. Gayunpaman, sinabi nila na maalon ang dagat kaysa sa karaniwan dahil sa malakas na hangin. Hindi ako nahihilo sa bangka, ngunit medyo nahirapan ako ngayon. Kahit hindi ka nahihilo sa bangka, magandang magdala ng gamot para sa hilo.

Ang driver ay dumating nang eksakto sa oras upang sunduin kami, at bago mag-alas siyete ay nakasakay na kami sa bangka upang simulan ang tour. Ang bawat destinasyon ay ayon sa inaasahan; ang pink beach ay hindi tulad ng nasa promotional picture, ngunit ito ay napakapink pa rin. Ang tour guide ay hindi masyadong nakakatawa ngunit napaka-responsable; aktibo siyang tumulong sa pagkuha ng aming mga larawan habang nag-snorkeling at hinila rin ang lifebuoy para sa mga mas mahinang bisita. Nang hindi kami nakakita ng manta ray sa Manta Point, dinala niya kami sa Mawan upang maghanap muli ng manta ray, at sa wakas ay nakita namin ang manta ray na lumalangoy sa aming harapan. Ang bangka ay hindi kasing-ganda ng nasa promotional picture, ngunit katanggap-tanggap naman ito para sa isang paglalakbay. Huwag umasa ng marami sa lunch box; hindi ito masarap at hindi rin naman masama, ang mahalaga ay nakakabusog. Ang bayad ay makatwiran kung ito ay para lamang sa tour fee, ngunit ang entrance fee sa national park ay napakamahal, 400,000 IDR bawat tao, na medyo nakakadismaya. Ang lahat ng iba pa ay napakaganda.
