Now the not so good point: except snorkelling, there is absolutely nothing to do. the facilities are quite limited and you can't explore the island (no beach, no walking way to the island), F&B prices are a way to expensive compare to the mainland, and most annoying, you have to pay the boat everytime you want to stay some time on the mainland (100MYR return per person!!!). with a family of 3 I let you imagine the cost. I think this place is perfect for a 2 night stays so you enjoy a full day on this remote place. ##### imad Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nasheita 4 Sept 2024 Liked: Staff & service Great getaway resort away from the hustle and bustle.

Property condition is a bit outdated with expected wear and tear but kept clean enough for an enjoyable stay. ##### Nasheita Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PUI SAI 8 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Near the nature ##### PUI SAI Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 2 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is small but beautiful. The pace is slow and relaxing. The staff are so friendly and cannot do enough for you. There are activities to do each day if you want a bit of action and the equipment is all available. The timing of the scheduled activities can be a bit hit and miss but they make them available if you want them. Poolside is very relaxing. The spa treatments are wonderful with Amy but make sure you try and book them in advance. Lovely breakfasts and menu in general. A great place to relax and chill out. ##### Andrew Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philippe 4 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Unique unforgettable experience ! ##### Philippe Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle 3 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you looking for some place is clean, clear water, private, safe environment and served by a group of nice/warm/polite staffs, this is it.

It was very restful holiday with friends. Room was clean and eco friendly. It was perfect size for 4 adults with 2 bathrooms. But really many ants everywhere.. restaurant is only one but having sufficient menus to pick. watch out monkeys and ants! Water activities were great hope to have more. I thought all water activities are free but mangrove tour wasn’t… still I enjoyed clean beach, kind services and spa(hope to have more sessions.. only limited time due to 2 massueses) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6EC787E2213F403DABA105B0A0CD437C877E1D331700610770928.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F9EB77D73F518997C3C10BFB898BD0B3BE1F524F1700610776554.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/319244F4FF6EFE4F851B6A24FE9B9EBBF777566B1700610777112.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/77FBFD76E7744A68DBEBF954280B66865E210AE21700610776871.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Anna 3 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful stay in paradise like place We spent wonderful 2 days/ 3 nights in the ocean villa that had steps directly into the sea. The resort is a little dated but makes up for it in comforts (the room and bathroom are very big and comfortable) and the beautiful surroundings (snorkeling directly off the villa’s deck in crystal clear water with lots of fish and coral), watching sunset from the deck. The restaurant serves very tasty meals and the breakfast is wonderful. Service very nice and helpful. I would like to see more recycling there. Also the resort does not organize snorkeling tours to the near Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, only diving ones, pity because we would have loved to do it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/79AAE80E88D1B718691566F335F8EDD8B16A939A1662188535989.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C49924B0247D622DECD3BF58179C59CE38F9CFE81662188534214.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7A520C4050CDC0A93AE06F9E5FDDF3448FEEA12E1662188535254.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A84A9E95F1371B372F480B94827B5DF763D429A81662188534505.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Anna Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill 12 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This resort has fantastic staff. Their best asset! The manager ( having met him, not interested in guests) needs to make an effort at cleaning up all the debris in the water. It is an eco resort but there is no evidence that they are doing anything to clean the water. It is a Malaysian issue but the resort needs to make an effort. I would not snorkel in the sea of waste!Make an effort!…not even a garbage can or a staff member assigned to clean up! ##### Jill Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Yoke Fong 16 Sept 2022 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### My staying experience The room is excellent, the platform from ocean view direct to snorkeling is really awesome. The room provide a Bluetooth speaker is so considerate. The food is very delicious but not much variety. The Resort Manager, Karl is very friendly and his briefing is important for guests. But the water got some floating rubbish, the hotel claimed that they maintain it by collecting the rubbish every morning 7am, i staying for 2 nights didn't see that happen. The swimming water is so dirty. I m disappointed with that ##### Yoke Fong Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Iberostar Waves Bouganville Playa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Adeje-Hotels-Iberostar-Bouganville-Playa.h1903384.Hotel-Information) > > [The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Redang-Island-Hotels-The-Taaras-Beach-Spa-Resort.h54223.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel du Vin & Bistro Cheltenham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Vin-Bistro-Cheltenham.h7727652.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-0-d179898-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Le Stanze del Duomo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Le-Stanze-Del-Duomo.h7519914.Hotel-Information) > > [Strawberry Park Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brinchang-Hotels-Strawberry-Park-Resort.h8395.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Greenwich](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greenwich-London-Hotels.0-n5827-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sabah Hotel Sandakan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandakan-Hotels-Sabah-Hotel-Sandakan.h2173572.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tuaran-Hotels-Shangri-La-Rasa-Ria.h48661.Hotel-Information) > > [Hipotels La Geria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tias-Hotels-Hipotels-La-Geria.h2335510.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron Highlands Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tanah-Rata-Hotels-Cameron-Highlands-Resort.h1592373.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Miri Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miri-Hotels-Pullman-Miri-Waterfront.h14683705.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest City Johor brand new homestay 2019](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johor-Bahru-Hotels-Forest-City-Johor-Brand-New-Homestay-2019.h39967063.Hotel-Information) > > [Pangkor Laut Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pangkor-Laut-Hotels-Pangkor-Laut-Resort.h10999.Hotel-Information) > > [Sama-Sama Express KLIA Terminal 1 - Airside Transit Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sepang-Hotels-Sama-Sama-Express-KLIA-Airside-Transit-Hotel.h10945921.Hotel-Information) > > [Sama-Sama Hotel KL International Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sepang-Hotels-Sama-Sama-Hotel.h552055.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Newcastle-upon-Tyne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Upon-Tyne-Hotels.d6084526.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Izmir](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Izmir-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6054829-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Aerocity](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aerocity-Delhi-Hotels.0-n6291047-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mystique St Lucia by Royalton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gros-Islet-Hotels-Mystique-St-Lucia-By-Royalton.h119616.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Dallas (DFW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lax/dfw/los-angeles-to-dallas) ### Activities > [Things to do in Palanga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Palanga.d2821.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Lumut](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Lumut.d602840.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Amsterdam Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam.d178229.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Penzance](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penzance.dx2925)
