Barbara Gulten Review of Komandoo Island Resort & Spa
Might be our favorite of the 4 islands we visited....
Might be our favorite of the 4 islands we visited... its basically a pit-stop you make before you go to heaven! We were there right before the rainy season, it sprinkled once or twice for 2-5 minutes and then it was balmy, sunny and amazing. Accommodations, immaculate island grounds and villas, the impeccable service... all made for a memorable visit. It is on our replay list and we don't like to go to a spot for more than once usually. The staff all the way up to GM are very helpful, discreet, and understand hospitality; visible in an invisible way enabling you to have your best vacation experience. Take advantage of the spa! even a half day is worth it, their therapists are great and know what they are doing. Food is fantastic, we enjoyed it better than other islands we were on; seemed fresher and of even higher quality. Water and beach quality is amazing, right from the villa you can snorkel and see so much sea-life. Sea-toys available for rental and diving/snorkeling expeditions are pretty good. We went on the snorkeling trip and loved it, but to be honest, our own beach and ocean front was just as good. They have a saying in the island "if you are not barefoot then you are overdressed" -- we totally agreed! Only time we dressed up was for dinners. Other times kept it to bare minimum. They also mean it with barefoot, the entire thing is sand and they rake and keep it in amazing condition. So we even ditched the flip-flops. We miss our daily juice-shots and fruit service around tea-time. As lovers of ocean, most amazing moment was when small sharks swam up to our beach to patrol. It made us truly internalize we are a sand-grain in this magical universe. And that's enough of an awakening to go back to Komandoo!
