Sweet Escape #15 - Labuan Bajo : Ayana Komodo Resort (Bilingual)

The sky was dazzling when we landed; it was a beautiful sunny day! We were so excited to be there, and thankfully it did not take long until we had collected all our belongings at Komodo International Airport. Though it wasn’t all without mini-interruptions: we were told by the airport staff who were collecting cards before the exit gate that we have to convey our e-HAC to the counter on the right side first, then we would receive the exit cards. The desk was quite busy due to the untidy lines; people seemed unprepared, so they stood up in front of the desk while filling out their e-HAC. Fortunately, Daddy had done ours, so he could get our cards quickly. We walked out of the airport exit gate to the lobby at around 11 AM, whereby I contacted the local driver that we hired, and at the same time, Daddy looked out for an ATM machine. Luckily, the driver was there on time, ready to take us to our hotel. Let’s go!

Langit sangat menyilaukan saat kami mendarat;  itu adalah hari yang cerah dan indah! Kami sangat senang berada di sana, dan untungnya tidak butuh waktu lama sampai kami mengumpulkan semua barang-barang kami di Bandara Internasional Komodo. Meskipun tidak semua tanpa gangguan kecil: kami diberitahu oleh staf bandara yang mengumpulkan kartu sebelum gerbang keluar bahwa kami harus menyampaikan e-HAC kami ke konter di sisi kanan terlebih dahulu, lalu kami akan menerima kartu-kartu pintu keluar. Meja tersebut cukup sibuk karena antrian yang tidak rapi; orang-orang sepertinya tidak siap, jadi mereka berdiri di depan meja sambil mengisi e-HAC mereka. Untungnya, Daddy telah mengerjakan punya kami, jadi dia bisa mendapatkan kartu kami dengan cepat. Kami berjalan keluar dari gerbang keluar bandara ke lobi sekitar jam 11 pagi, di mana saya menghubungi pengemudi lokal yang kami sewa, dan pada saat yang sama, Daddy mencari mesin ATM. Untungnya, pengemudi tersebut ada di sana tepat waktu, siap membawa kami ke hotel kami. Ayo pergi!

I had heard some good stories about this hotel, so it had been on my list quite some time. We felt so lucky and content that we finally got the chance to visit Labuan Bajo, and to stay at Ayana Komodo Resort. We were planning to enjoy the amenities, while still trying to protect ourselves of Covid19 by implementing the health protocols during our trip. As we arrived at the hotel lobby, the concierge helped us with our belongings, and a receptionist served us right away. I actually did not expect that, since we arrived so early around 11:20 PM, and their check-in time normally at 3 PM. However she informed us that our room was ready, we would get some complimentary soft drinks and a snack in our room’s bar, and we could collect our welcome drinks at Rinca restaurant. Sweet!

Saya telah mendengar beberapa cerita bagus tentang hotel ini, jadi hotel ini sudah ada di daftar saya cukup lama. Kami merasa sangat beruntung dan puas sehingga kami akhirnya mendapat kesempatan untuk mengunjungi Labuan Bajo, dan menginap di Ayana Komodo Resort. Kami berencana untuk menikmati fasilitas, sambil tetap berusaha melindungi diri dari Covid19 dengan menerapkan protokol kesehatan selama perjalanan kami. Ketika kami tiba di lobi hotel, petugas membantu kami dengan barang-barang kami, dan resepsionis segera melayani kami. Saya sebenarnya tidak menyangka, karena kami datang pagi-pagi sekali sekitar jam 11:20, dan waktu check-in mereka biasanya jam 3 sore. Namun resepsionis tersebut memberi tahu kami bahwa kamar kami sudah siap, kami akan mendapatkan beberapa minuman ringan dan makanan ringan gratis di bar kamar kami, dan kami dapat mengambil minuman selamat datang di restoran Rinca. Cakeb!

When we got into our room, we were mesmerized by the interior design with the aquatic theme, but our room balcony and its view definitely stole our heart. That, and we were also surprised by the beautiful petals shaped into “Happy Father’s Day” writing on the bed, and next to it, there were towels shaped into a Komodo Dragon. That was so nice of them. I did inform them that we would like to give a little surprise for Daddy due to the Father’s Day that we celebrated on that day. I only expected them to give us a little complimentary cake, which was delivered a few minutes after we got into our room, the Ayana staff brought us a delicious chocolate cake. Thanks Ayana for the cake and for doing me a favor with the decoration. You nailed it!

Ketika kami masuk ke kamar kami, kami terpesona oleh desain interior dengan tema akuatik, tetapi balkon kamar kami dan pemandangannya benar-benar mencuri hati kami.  Itu, dan kami juga dikejutkan oleh kelopak indah berbentuk tulisan "Selamat Hari Ayah" di tempat tidur, dan di sebelahnya, ada handuk berbentuk Naga Komodo. Baik sekali mereka. Saya memang memberi tahu mereka bahwa kami ingin memberikan sedikit kejutan untuk Daddy karena Hari Ayah yang kami rayakan pada hari itu. Saya hanya berharap mereka memberi kami sedikit kue gratis, yang dikirim beberapa menit setelah kami masuk ke kamar, staf Ayana membawakan kami kue cokelat yang lezat. Terima kasih Ayana untuk kuenya dan karena telah membantu saya dengan dekorasinya. Kamu berhasil!

(+) We absolutely love everything about this hotel!
(-) The waitress did not wear gloves when they delivered the complimentary cake. I guess that’s the only minor from my end. It was not really a big deal though. I believe a 5-star hotel like Ayana always ensures the staffs’ health and cleanliness.

(+) Kami benar-benar menyukai segala sesuatu tentang hotel ini!
(-) Pelayan tidak memakai sarung tangan saat mengantarkan kue gratis. Saya kira itu satu-satunya minor dari saya. Sekalipun Itu bukan benar-benar masalah besar. Saya percaya hotel bintang 5 seperti Ayana selalu memastikan kesehatan dan kebersihan stafnya.
