    • Beautiful beach access, friendly staff, hotel staff arranged all boats in/out and for our taxi to pick us up at the airport

    Cons -

    • We understand it's a 3 star hotel, but there was no room service, no TV in the room. Water had to be filled from the restaurant, was not sent to the room. Guests weren't allowed to wear shoes in the restaurant, which was annoying.
    • The pillows were a bit hard but we slept great still
    • Noise a/c

    Staff friendliness, the beach, the rooms, this island.

    nothing to dislike

    10VilmaPosted on: 5-15-2025

    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.

    7KamaruzamanPosted on: 5-13-2025

    All the staffs are very attentive and friendly. Informative. Helpful.

    Breakfast selections are very minimal. Boring.

    9ElainePosted on: 4-11-2025

    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.

    9DavidPosted on: 4-3-2025

    Wonderful location, quiet and great staff

    Areas nearby had too much litter

    10JulietPosted on: 3-18-2025

    Staff, grounds and food were all great. Definitely would return to this lovely resort

    8RebeccaPosted on: 3-16-2025

    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.

    10JosunePosted on: 3-6-2025

    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.

    10KaPosted on: 2-25-2025

    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.

    10AiePosted on: 2-25-2025

    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

    10BrianPosted on: 2-24-2025

    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.

    10MelPosted on: 2-23-2025

    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.

    9NurPosted on: 2-17-2025

    10MariaPosted on: 10-13-2024

    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.
