Slightly dated upholstery. Should provide free refills of the minibar daily as it is now expected of premium hotels.

Serene and quiet, away from the hordes of tourists. We enjoyed the privilege of peace and tranquility of this very beautiful resort. We liked the local craftsmenship of the villas, as well as the personal touch of a butler service. Sometimes it felt as if the whole resort was ours.

Although the food in the evenings was good, quantities could have been better and you didn't really get what was written on the menu: some sort of "nouvelle-cuisine" initiative? One of my dishes was meant to have various vegetable served with the meat, but that ended up to be 1 (one!) cherry tomato-sized carrot and another (1) tiny decorative piece of something else... After two evenings in a row eating there, we decided to take a taxi to Labuan Bajo and found some really good restaurants there.

Beautiful room-villa with private pool! Very comfortable bedding and spacious: everything we needed was there. It took some time for us to figure out how the complex lighting-system worked but it was great! Loved the semi-outside bathroom and the little sun-sheltered reading-table by the pool. Well-sized lovely pool too. The staff were wonderful, attentive and always ready to help. Breakfast-buffet was fabulous: hot and cold food, all sorts of juices, etc. The pool-bar was great with lovely staff. I would definitely recommend this resort.

They clean the beach everyday, but trash in the water is a constant. More of a behavioral problem than a resort problem. Stick to the pool.

Staff and facilities were great. Beautiful villas. Nice restaurants.

The beach, while out of control of the hotel, was surprisingly and unfortunately quite polluted, especially the water. All sorts of trash seemed to floating in the water which certainly took away from the pristine-ness of the place. Again, I know this is a larger issue and not something the hotel can necessarily control, however I did expect the enviornment to be a bit cleaner

The service was excellent; the staff were very congenial and quick to jump in and help/assist with our travel planning, activities on site, food and beverage service.

The roof was leaking during a heavy rain.

It’s lush green tree filled surroundings. It’s attentive and ever polite helpful staff especially our personal butler The beach is clean with clear waters.

It's only a little bit far from Harbor.

It was absolutely a dream. Everything was perfect—the room was very spacious and beautifully decorated. All the staff were very friendly, especially Fabi, our butler. The beach is enchanting, and the afternoon tea was delicious. The food at the hotel restaurant was also very tasty.

Stayed in November 2024

Constant awful music blasts 24/7. Noisy kids screaming - the grounds are too small for a kid-friendly atmosphere. Its just not a peaceful place, except for the spa. In addition, the surrounds are full of new hotel construction. Honestly, i would skip the whole area. Much, much better locations in other areas of Indonesia with better value comprably.

Plataran was a welcome respite after 2 weeks on the road in Flores. But the whole Labuan Bajo area is a nightmare - a tourist mecca gone off the rails. However, the rooms are beautiful, the spa excellent, and the jetty is bliss if you can get it to yourself

Excellent service, beautiful accommodation and stunning location

Only reason for not giving 10 stars was the staff very super kind and trying to be helpful. However, many of them were not really trained yet and did not understand english that well.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Plataran. It is a very small resort, only 18 rooms and right by the beach. You walk along the beach to get to the restaurants, so feels very much in nature. It is super relaxing and peaceful and has just beautiful rooms and facilities. The spa was fantastic, we had a very good massage and facial. There was a lot of choice at breakfast and in the restaurant. The one thing we missed was some more lighter options for the mains for lunch. They can also organize private Komodo tours over multiple days.

We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. First class and friendly service, beautiful hotel and surrounds. Two fantastic restaurants. The hotel isn’t huge and so has a very relaxing feel and all very spaced out so lots of privacy.

Food on the romantic dinnec definitely can be better for this price. Location is a bit remote to the city centre.

Wonderful resort. Incredibly nice staff. Beautiful setup for the romantic dinner. Spectacular and delicious sunrise breakfast. Awesome beach on site. Great view in the restaurant. Amazing room, very spacious, comfortable, well decorated and equipped.

We were expecting a tad more from the restaurant. While it was excellent (say, 9/10), it was not quite on par with the prestige and quality of an establishment like Plataran. We also ran into some minor noise issues one evening (some staff were moving furniture very late in the evening and near our room), but the staff on call solved the issue in no time.

Plataran truly exceeded our expectations. The hotel is stunning and in a near-perfect location (a private and isolated beach). Our suite was a few centimeters from the water! The staff went above and beyond (kudos to Eka!) and attended to all of our needs. We also highly enjoyed the spa and the various beach facilities (snorkeling, paddle boards, etc.). Breakfast was also excellent and with ample choice.

Stayed in July 2024

Shortage of some ingredients in the restaurants (mozzarella, squid, crab, …) resulting in the absence of some menu meals.

Quiet and beautiful beach. Coral reef and clean waters. Attentive staff

Stayed in July 2024

There wasn't really anything not to like, but a suggestion could be that the two restaurants were more different from each other to provide more choice. At the moment, one is slightly more upscale, but they offer similar dishes (some dishes are even the same). There could also be more consistency in the allergy information provided in the menus (some pages indicated which dishes were for example dairy free, but some pages did not and the information did not always seem to be correct) and the restaurant staff could be better informed about food allergies.

This is the nicest place we have ever stayed at (and probably ever will!). It is expensive, but what you get for the money is just amazing. The location is so beautiful and the resort blends in with nature, our beachfront villa was fantastic (quiet, huge, super comfy bed, very clean, beautiful view) and all the staff were absolutely wonderful. Our butler Eka was amazing and helped us with everything that we needed. Angelo, Harry and Jeffrey were always eager to chat and make sure we were comfortable and happy, and Tia did an excellent job helping us out with snorkelling equipment and the kayaks. The two restaurants were both very good, and the spa was beautifully situated by the beach and offered great massages. There was a great choice of breakfast options and the afternoon tea was a very appreciated extra perk. We were also very lucky that our room was available so we were offered both early check-in and late check-out.

We had 2 nights at Plataran Komodo and it was the most enjoyable stay throughout our whole Indonesia trip . The whole crew at the resort , especially our butler Daniel took really good care of us . Plus , the food at both Atlantis on the rock and Xanadu is really tasty . The afternoon tea is lovely and sweet . The sunset at Atlantis and the jetty is stunning . We basically loved everything during our stay here . We'd wanna come back to Plataran Komodo when we visit Komodo again .

Nothing - it was a great stay.

The hotel was beautiful. Our villa was huge and the bathroom was as big as the room. The complimentary mini bar/water was great and the complimentary afternoon tea was also wonderful. The breakfast the next morning was a la carte and included and was very good.

The only wish is to extend the menu a bit

It’s private, secluded and very small, ie super sympathetic

Food is hood at local standard but not really great

The place was beautiful, friendly staffs , a place you can stay the whole day without feeling bored. Beautiful scenery, nice beach and good facilities

Nothing, we weren’t able to do many activities due to weather but that’s to be expected as we went during shoulder season. Communication issues with the butler once or twice, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Everything was clean, quaint, and lovely. Food was great, and everyone was so nice and helpful.

It felt really exclusive. There were only 16 villas in the whole property, run by a crew of 130 staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Loved everything about it -- the breakfast, the beach, the sunset, the afternoon tea, size of the villas,... The locals will tell you that the property is 'very remote', but it's only 15 mins drive away from the city centre. For the serenity and private beach, it is worth it.

Everything is well maintained, the staff are friendly, the views to the ocean are beautiful, the rooms are spacious and comfortable.
