What Decides It
Choosing between Komodo Resort on Pulau Sebayur Besar and the options in Labuan Bajo depends on three things.
-
Budget
Diving and land tours both cost less from the mainland. The island rate buys included meals and seclusion, not a lower total.
-
Exclusivity
Twenty-five rooms and nothing else within a boat ride, against a working harbour town with restaurants and other travellers.
-
Itinerary
Labuan Bajo makes it easy to change plans day to day. The island commits you to the property and its boat schedule.
