Has anyone recently stayed at the 'Komodo Resort and Diving Club'

[Dirt Pineapple]

Curious to hear any input, particularly recent input. Anything you liked/didn't like about it? How was the diving op?

I have never stayed there (It is a bit beyond my means), but I do know many people who have. It is relatively close to a number of famous dive sites, and from the water, it looks awesome. Everything I have ever heard is very positive. It is at the same price point as a very nice liveaboard, and I would much rather go that route than land-based, but your mileage may vary.

Their Komodo Sea Dragon liveaboard is open for my dates I have (I cannot be flexible with the days I have off), but it's only 6 days/5 nights. So only 11 day time dives vs 15-18 day time dives if I stay at the land resort for 7 days, and also $2500 cheaper after everything. I can't find any other liveaboard for my dates (April 14-21).

The resort is a bit pricey given it's age, it's the same price as the brand new 5 star luxury resorts in Labuan Bajo, but I feel like the location is worth it for the house reef beach.
