Unbelievable Flores Villa: Komodo Dragons & RedDoorz Luxury Await!
Okay, buckle up, because this is not your typical hotel review. We're diving deep into Unbelievable Flores Villa, and trust me, the name is either brilliantly ironic or completely accurate. Let’s see…
Unbelievable Flores Villa: Komodo Dragons & RedDoorz Luxury Await! – My Take
Alright, so first things first: Accessibility. I’m not gonna lie, I haven't personally tested this with a wheelchair. The review says "Facilities for disabled guests". You know how it is, it can be hard to get the full picture, you're reliant on what they tell you. But the review also lists "Elevator," which is a big plus. My gut says, if you need true, reliable accessibility, call them directly and grill them. Photos can deceive!
Cleanliness and Safety: Pandemic-Proofing (Mostly)
Okay, this is where Flores Villa seems to shine. The listing screams "COVID-era hotel." Things like "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Hand sanitizer," "Individually-wrapped food," and especially "Rooms sanitized between stays" are music to my paranoid ears. "Staff trained in safety protocol" is reassuring. I’m a bit of a germophobe, and this makes me feel a little less like I'm walking into a biohazard zone. "Sanitized kitchen and tableware items"? YES! I’m seeing a lot of this stuff, which is fantastic, especially if you're a bit nervous about travelling right now. The "Room sanitization opt-out available" is a nice touch, showing they're flexible – which is always welcome. However, remember, no hotel is perfect, and sometimes, the details don't match reality. I'd still bring my own wipes just in case.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious Food… Maybe?
Ah, the million-dollar question: is the food any good? The listing throws a bunch of options at you: "A la carte in restaurant," "Asian and international cuisine," "Bar," "Coffee shop," "Poolside bar," "Restaurants," "Snack bar," "Vegetarian restaurant," and “Western cuisine”. Okay, great, variety. What's missing? The reviews! It's all a bit fluffy right now. "Happy hour" is always a good sign. The "Breakfast [buffet]" (and "takeaway") suggests a decent start to the day, but I'm skeptical until I see firsthand. "Coffee/tea in restaurant" is a must-have, and the "Desserts in restaurant" have my name written all over it! "Room service [24-hour]" is a huge plus for lazy days or late-night cravings!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: From Dragon-Watching to Bubble Baths
This is where things could get interesting (or completely fall apart). "Pool with view," "Swimming pool [outdoor]" – always a delight. I'm a sucker for a picturesque pool! The "Spa" and associated offerings – "Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom" – sound heavenly. And the "Fitness center" gives you a place to feel less guilty about indulging in the food! However, take all of this with a grain of salt. Is the gym a cramped closet with a treadmill from the 80s? Is the pool actually clean? Only firsthand experience can tell.
The Rooms: What Will Your Palace Look Like?
Here's the money shot. The features available in all rooms are impressive:
- Additional toilet

- Window that opens
"Additional toilet" is a win. "Bathtub" and a "separate shower/bathtub" – yes, yes, yes! The "In-room safe box" and "safe and security feature" always give me extra piece of mind. "Air conditioning" – vital! "Free bottled water" is an absolute blessing. The "Laptop workspace" and "Internet access – wireless and LAN" make it work for work-cations. The only thing missing is a balcony, but the windows that open is a good alternative. I really want to book now and see what the reality is!
Services and Conveniences: Beyond the Basics
The list is extensive: "Air conditioning in public area," "Audio-visual equipment for special events," "Business facilities," "Cash withdrawal," "Concierge," "Contactless check-in/out," "Convenience store," "Currency exchange," "Daily housekeeping," "Doorman," "Dry cleaning," "Elevator," "Essential condiments," "Facilities for disabled guests," "Food delivery," "Gift/souvenir shop," "Indoor venue for special events," "Invoice provided," "Ironing service," "Laundry service," "Luggage storage," "Meeting/banquet facilities," "Meetings," "Meeting stationery," "On-site event hosting," "Outdoor venue for special events," "Projector/LED display," "Safety deposit boxes," "Seminars," "Shrine," "Smoking area," "Terrace," "Wi-Fi for special events," "Xerox/fax in business center." That's the laundry list, and it implies a pretty well-equipped hotel. "Contactless check-in/out" is essential these days. "Concierge" is always nice to have. Plus, "Car park [free of charge]", "Car park [on-site]", "Taxi service" and "Valet parking" make the arrival easy.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly?
"Babysitting service," "Family/child friendly," "Kids facilities," and "Kids meal" are a great sign. If you're traveling with little ones, this looks like a reasonably family-friendly option.
Getting Around & Other Essentials:
"Airport transfer,""Bicycle parking," "Car park [free of charge]", "Car park [on-site]", "Car power charging station", "Taxi service", "Valet parking." Airport transfer is a must! It means not having to deal with local transportation upon arrival.
My Final, Slightly Rambling Thoughts…
Okay, so here's the deal: Unbelievable Flores Villa could be amazing. It ticks a lot of boxes, particularly on the safety/cleanliness front. The rooms sound well-equipped. The potential for relaxation is high. But, as with any hotel, there are a few unknown variables.
If you're looking for a luxurious, safe, and potentially fun stay in the Komodo area, this is definitely worth considering. However, PLEASE do your due diligence. Look for recent reviews (like really recent) and photos that show the reality, not just marketing fluff.
My Quirky Anecdote: I'm picturing myself, exhausted after a day of Komodo dragon-spotting, sinking into a bathtub full of bubbles with a glass of wine, ordering 24-hour room service. Sounds incredible.
Okay, now for the pitch!

Rockport Getaway: Your Dream Aransas Bay Escape Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is… my itinerary for a few days in Labuan Bajo, and let’s be honest, it's probably gonna go sideways at least once. Buckle up!
Labuan Bajo: Island Hop, Maybe Lose My Wallet (Again) - A Messy Adventure
Day 1: Arrival – Sun, Sand, and an Existential Crisis on a Speedboat
- Morning (or what passes for morning after a red-eye): Landed in Labuan Bajo. The airport? Cute. Tiny. Hot. Immediately greeted by a guy holding a sign that almost had my name on it. Felt like a minor celebrity. Found my ride to Villa Alam Flores Komodo. The drive? Bumpy. The scenery? STUNNING. Okay, Indonesia, you’ve already gotten me.
- Late Morning/Early Afternoon: Villa Shenanigans: Checked into Villa Alam Flores. Oh. My. Gosh. The view from the balcony… I could practically taste the Instagram likes. Settled in. Spent a solid hour just staring at the ocean. (Okay, maybe 45 minutes, 10 minutes of frantic Wi-Fi searching, and 5 minutes re-reading emails. Gotta stay on top of something, right?)
- Afternoon: First Dive - or… Attempted Dive? – Got picked back up at 1:30pm to go to the boat, which then left at 2pm. I'm not exactly sure about the time here, but it's all irrelevant anyway because I have lost the schedule of activities they gave me. The dive guide was super, super friendly. Did my first dive. Or at least, tried to. The currents were insane. Like, I felt like I was in a washing machine, and not the fun, bubbly kind. After about ten minutes I was getting tired, and the guide saw it. "Okay," he said to me. "We go to the surface." And go we did. I am absolutely going back for the next dive I scheduled.
- Evening: Sunset Overload & RedDoorz Realness: Changed at the beach. Met up with new friends after the dive, then found a place to get some good drinks. We then went to the RedDoorz in Labuan Bajo. No one talks about their real-life stories, the things that just happen, and that's so boring. The RedDoorz experience was not the best, but I didn't expect that. The sunset? Majestic. Like, the kind of sunset that actually makes you tear up a little bit. Had a decent plate of grilled tuna, watched the sky turn into a canvas of fire, and realized… I'm actually doing it. I'm here.
Day 2: Komodo Dragons, Pink Beaches, and the Quest for the Perfect Smoothie
- Morning: Dragged myself out of bed (and away from the balcony view) for a boat trip to Komodo Island. Okay, I thought I was prepared for Komodo dragons. But seeing them in person? Absolutely humbling. These things are prehistoric badasses. I got a little too close to one for a photo, and my guide gave me the stink eye. Lesson learned: Respect the giant lizards.
- Afternoon: Pink Beach Euphoria & Snorkeling Fail: Pink Beach! The sand really is pink! I snorkeled (or at least, tried to). Saw some fish. Mostly just swallowed seawater. My snorkeling skills are clearly not up to par. But the feeling of being in that turquoise water… pure bliss. I feel like I should be here forever.
- Late Afternoon: The Smoothie Saga: Back on the boat, the guys made sure to treat us with a bunch of snacks. Back in the Villa, I'm obsessed with finding a good smoothie. This is my MISSION. I need the perfect blend of tropical fruit goodness. I'm talking mango, banana, maybe some dragon fruit for that Instagram aesthetic… The search continues. If anyone can help me, I promise to pay you with a lifetime's worth of gratitude!!
- Evening: Dinner in Town and the "Is This Real Life?" Moment: Found a little local restaurant. The food was incredible, the service was… well, it was Indonesia. Relaxed, but friendly. Watched the locals go about their lives. Staring at the local community, it suddenly hit me. I'm a long, long way from anything I know. What in the world am I doing? And then I smiled. I was in Indonesia. What an adventure!
Day 3: Waterfall Chasing, Sunset Hunting, and Existential Dread (Part 2)
- Morning: Waterfall Adventure (Maybe?) – I intended to go hiking to a waterfall today. Intention being the operative word. I had plans. Now? Still wrestling with the allure of the balcony and the view. I think I'm going to change the plans this time!
- Afternoon: Sunset Cruise – Booked a sunset cruise. This time, I AM getting the perfect sunset picture. This is my destiny. (Also, this is probably the only thing booked for today that gives me peace of mind, seeing how badly the rest of the trip went lol)
- Evening: The Great Disappointment – Did I mention they ran out of beer on the cruise? Yes. The sunset? Kinda… meh. (Okay, fine, it was still beautiful, but after sunset after sunset, it loses its magic). Also, I think I lost my wallet again. Seriously, what is wrong with me? Feeling the existential dread creeping back in… but maybe, just maybe, fueled by Bintang and the Indonesian air, I'll find it tomorrow. Or not. Who knows?
Day 4: Departure – Goodbye, Paradise! (Or, See You Next Time, Hopefully With a Functional Wallet)
- Morning (Whatever time I can manage to surface): One last breakfast overlooking the breathtaking ocean. I'll miss this view.
- Check out, taxi to the airport, and a small prayer to the travel gods that my flight isn't delayed.
- Departure: As the plane lifts off, I'll be left with a whirlwind of memories filled with beautiful beaches, Komodo dragons, some of the best times in my life spent with friends, and the lingering question of where the heck my wallet actually is. But that's what makes it all a great adventure, right?
Postscript: I'll be back, Labuan Bajo. You glorious, slightly chaotic, wallet-eating paradise. But next time, I'm bringing a money belt. And maybe, just maybe, a better sense of direction.
And that, my friends, is the truth.
Unbelievable Quincy Hotel Melbourne: Your Dream Stay Awaits!
Unbelievable Flores Villa: Komodo Dragons & RedDoorz Luxury Await? (Let's Get Real Here...)
Okay, spill the tea. Is this Flores Villa actually "unbelievable," or are we dealing with some serious marketing fluff?
Alright, buckle up. "Unbelievable" is a strong word, isn't it? I gotta say, the photos? Yeah, they're *stunning*. Turquoise water, the sprawling villa... looked like a freaking James Bond hideout. But the reality? Well... it's complicated.
Look, the view *is* genuinely breathtaking. Waking up to THAT? Worth the price of admission, probably. But… there’s a disconnect, a certain… vibe. It's like the pictures are whispering promises the actual place can't quite keep. It's like a supermodel with a bit of a chipped nail polish, you know? Still gorgeous, but not *perfect*.
Komodo Dragons! Did you see the freaking Dragons?! That's the main reason, right?
YES! The dragons! Okay, this is where things get properly bonkers. The trip to see them? Epic. Absolutely bucket-list worthy. We got to Rinca Island, and the ranger… bless him, he was pointing out everything, his English wasn’t super strong, but you understood the fear in his voice heh. Massive lizards lumbering around like they owned the place. And… they kinda did.
I swear one gave me the side-eye. A *proper* side-eye. I nearly soiled myself. Then, we were treated to the scene where a massive one was lying on the ground - and a photographer was trying to get the ultimate shot, and the ranger had to shout - "Move! He is gonna eat you!" - Yeah... definitely lived up to the hype. It's a raw, primal experience. Forget the villa for a second, because this is the REAL deal. The sheer, raw power of those creatures? Unforgettable. Just… don't get too close. Really.
RedDoorz Luxury? What does that even *mean*? Did you get the "luxury" experience?
Okay, RedDoorz is hitting peak “budget-friendly” on their branding. Luxury? In my experience… maybe a *slightly* elevated experience compared to *some* RedDoorz. But let's be clear: this ain’t the Four Seasons. The villa itself had its moments. The pool was gorgeous. The staff were lovely, bless their hearts, and tried incredibly hard. They'd bring the food, and well, the food was… interesting.
One night, we had this… fish. I swear it was the same fish that had been swimming in the sea outside the Villa for the past 20 years. I mean, LOOKED fresh, smelled weird, and the taste? It was an experience, let's put it that way. The point is: temper your expectations. Nice touches, but remember, it's RedDoorz, not Ritz-Carlton. And pack your own snacks. And maybe indigestion tablets.
The Villa itself: was it a palace or more of a… charming cottage?
Charming cottage with… potential. The location? Unbeatable. Seriously. The views from the balcony? Heaven on earth. But the devil is in the details, as they say. The furniture felt a little… dated. The air-con was a bit temperamental (which is MURDER in that heat!). And remember how I said "sprawling"? Well, it was a little *too* sprawling. You felt like you had to trek across the whole bloody place to get to the coffee machine.
And my room? I loved it, but the whole "open-air bathroom" thing? Lovely for the first few hours. Then, the mosquitoes moved in. And the geckos. Look, nature is lovely. But not when it's *inside* your shower. I didn't sleep one single night!
What about the staff? Were they helpful, or did you feel like you had to fend for yourself?
The staff? Honestly, they were the saving grace. Sweetest people you'll ever meet. They were genuinely trying to make your stay amazing, despite the... inevitable shortcomings of the villa itself. Always a smile, always offering help. They went above and beyond. They had to, given the state of some of the equipment.
Like the time, the toilet clogged. Majorly. We had to call someone, and they fixed it ASAP. They were so nice! I tried to tip them heavily. Honestly, they’re the reason I'd consider going back. They really deserve a medal. Or at least a massive pay raise.
Would you recommend this Flores Villa? Be honest!
Okay, here's the thing. If you're chasing absolute luxury, pristine perfection, and a flawless experience, then no. Go spend double and stay somewhere else. But… for the Komodo Dragons alone? Absolutely. For the unique location? For the (mostly) lovely people? For the experience of being somewhere incredibly remote and beautiful?
Yes. Go. Just go with your eyes open. Pack bug spray. Be prepared to rough it a *little*. And most importantly, prepare to be awestruck by the dragons. That, my friends, is worth everything. It’s not perfect. It’s… *real*, and sometimes, that's even better. Just don't expect the bathroom to be bug-free. Consider yourself warned. I'd go back. Despite the fish.
Any other tips or things you wish you'd known *before* you went?
Bring ALL the bug spray. Seriously. And a good power bank. The electricity… sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t (especially when you NEED it). Pack a good book. Or, you know, a survival guide, because you're basically on a remote island. Learn a few basic Indonesian phrases – the staff will appreciate it. Drink bottled water *religiously*.
And, for the love of all that is holy, don't forget your camera! You'll want to document those dragons, trust me cause no one will believe you otherwise. Finally, lower your expectations on the “luxury” part and focus on the experience. That view? That's the real luxury.
