Very clean place, small porch, nice view
Noise a/c
Staff friendliness, the beach, the rooms, this island.
nothing to dislike
It’s next to the ocean and have a beautiful view.The workers are very friendly.
Not much variety of food for buffet breakfast.Every day they serve Asian noodles, some potatoes, bread. The fruit didn’t have any flavor.
All the staffs are very attentive and friendly. Informative. Helpful.
Breakfast selections are very minimal. Boring.
Lovely resort. Beautiful beach, clear water with reef and lots of fish. Good food in the restaurant Snorkeling trips and diving on site.
It was a little choppy travelling from Kuala Besut due to a rain storm. The rooms are a little bit dated and despite being in a deluxe seaview room with sunbeds on the balcony there were mosquitos in the late afternoon/ evening which made it difficult to sit outside.
Wonderful location, quiet and great staff
Areas nearby had too much litter
Staff, grounds and food were all great. Definitely would return to this lovely resort
Wonderful staff, location, services! The staff were all very helpful and friendly in our trip planning. We appreciated their help! The breakfast was superb! Would stay here again.
The bungalows are fantastic. Enough space in the room, porch, water to clean your feet before getting in. It’s the small details that made the difference.
Nothing that I can remember.
Top location, top staff, great restaurant with a wide selection of Western and Eastern food and a nice beach with snorkeling facilities right in front of the resort! Our chalet with hill view had everything we needed for our snorkeling trip: comfortable beds, a good airconditioning and a warm shower. But what makes this place so special is the staff: from the reception lady to the bartender, the cleaning ladies, cooks and restaurant staff, everyone was equally nice, warm and welcoming and made us feel like home!
Nothing. Everything exceeded our expectations.
Beachfront resort. If you want to just relax and chill the whole day at the beach then this is a place for you to stay. You’ll get privacy and quiet time for yourself
Food could use some improvement
Great small reef right in front of the hotel, even better reef 20 minute walk down the beach. Had to work the first couple days of the trip and the WiFi was perfect in the room.
We loved the beachfront chalet and definitely worth paying the extra for. The food in the restaurant was great and all the staff were incredibly helpful.
Yes, exactly! We’re welcome with drinks, friendly staff,Tidy room and best location, no need to take water taxi.
None so far
The service, the food, the view and the room. Everything was great.
Staff n location
Lack of internet
Amazing location, the staff is super nice and helpful. We had an amazing time!The location is ideal and super easy to get water taxis to explore the islands. The beach is beautiful and comes with umbrellas to protect you from the sun.
