The location is unbeatable: a small white-sand island with nothing else than the 12 eco bungalows; crystal-clear water for amazing snorkeling virtually at your toe-tip (you can see - amongst many others - turtles, reef-sharks, sting-rays, huge squids & lobsters, and HUGE schools of fish!). Management and crew are super sweet and friendly - of course not everything goes always... More

Heaven on earth! What a beautiful spot! Very quiet island, rooms are basic but that the charm of this island. Go diving here; they have a great dive shop! Beaches are beautiful. Walk around the island is great. More

It`s what you want if you`re looking for your own private bungalow on a deserted island, but food is limited and service in the restaurant can be slow (up to 45 minutes for a simple dish). Atmosphere is friendly, but deluxe bungalows means there is a wardrobe and slightly more space, that`s about the difference to other categorys. If you... More

I don't even know where to start: beautiful - what am I saying?! - amazing beach, stunning landscape, wonderful snorkelling site, friendly and helpful staff, great food... Given the remoteness of the place the fact that the owners managed to get to that level is to be noticed. Do not expect 5 stars hotel here, this is not the point,... More

Lovely staff and owners, excellent dive center and a fabulous location near some of the world's best scuba sites. Considering the difficulties of running a business on an island where water must be... More

We spend 3 nights on the island and had a fantastic time!! We read the comments here on tripadvisor and were a bit concerned. Once we arrived we were blown away by the beauty of the island! It is a piece of paradise! Don't expect a 5 Star Luxury Resort! It's called Beach Bungalows and thats what it is! It... More

We spent 1 week on this beautiful island. The beach is incredible and perfect for snorkling. Cottages are simple, food is ok but also overpriced... More

I have never reviewed a hotel before but after reading some of the misleading comments on here I felt compelled to. I would really recommend Kanawa to anyone thinking of a trip to Indonesia. It's the ideal jump-off point for exploring Komodo National Park and Kanawa itself is beautifully relaxing. We were a group of 13 including seven young children... More
