Meruorah Komodo Labuan Bajo is a five-star hotel on Jalan Soekarno Hatta in the Marina area of Labuan Bajo, about a one-minute walk from the port. It has 145 rooms across nine room types, from about 344 to 1,141 square feet, with queen, king or twin beds, balconies and hill or sea views. Guests rate it 9.0 out of 10 from 241 reviews, with cleanliness scoring 9.6.
Location and getting around
The main advantage is the port. If your boat leaves early, walking to the harbor beats any transfer. Labuan Bajo Airport is about an 8-minute drive away, and the hotel runs an airport shuttle on request for a fee. The town restaurants and bars are close, so you can eat out without a car.
Facilities
There is an outdoor pool and a children pool, the Ambara spa and wellness center, a marina, a terrace and a garden. The Bay serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there is also a cafe. Rooms have air conditioning, bathrobes, large smart TVs and free Wi-Fi, and the hotel offers 24-hour room service and a concierge. Buffet breakfast is charged separately on some rates.
Who it suits
Travelers who want comfort and convenience, those leaving on early boats, families who want a pool and larger rooms, and cruise passengers extending their stay. It is not a beach resort, so if you want sand outside the door, choose a Waecicu or Pede Beach property instead.
Planning tips
Because the port is a one-minute walk, ask the hotel about early breakfast boxes if your boat leaves before the restaurant opens, and about storing luggage during an overnight liveaboard. The marina setting means views of moored boats and the bay, and the higher-floor rooms with sea views are worth requesting at booking.
Evenings are easy, with the town restaurants, the waterfront and sunset viewpoints all close by. Because it is a large hotel, it can be busy with groups at weekends and holidays, so book early in the high season. The hotel is a good choice for a final night before a flight, with the airport a short drive away.
