    Perfect island getaway

    Food prices are a little steep

    Get why it’s the beloved local getaway island. Last time I came here was 30 years ago and it retains the same luxury hotel without trying too hard vibe. Room was nice and comfortable, beach was gorgeous, fun waves. Food was good (if a lil pricey) and service was great. Perfect place to chill for a long weekend but I don’t think you can stay for too long here.

    A pleasant stay in a 4-5 star hotel
    • Business trip
    • Couple
    • Sea Villa (No Children Allowed)
    • Stayed 9 nights

    Wi-Fi connection was beyond irregular. Frequently, whole evenings without connection. There was no TV in the sea chalet. We may not have needed it, but nowadays, it is almost a must, particularly in a 4-5 star hotel. The air conditioning blew directly on the bed. The fish restaurant (Fisherman's Cove) had a charming atmosphere but was nouvelle cuisine with all the implicit adjectives, often controversial content, and relatively expensive. The range of breakfast food was somewhat limited for a Westerner's taste, and the same might be said for the dinner. Curries were below the standard of an excellent Indian or Thai curry. The supper system, whereby one had to choose between buffet or "a la carte," was quite confusing. For example, I got the impression that to get a salad with a prechosen dish; one had to pay for a whole buffet (since the salads were part of the buffet). Counterintuitive. The same, apparently, was true for the dessert, which was again part of the buffet. The island could offer a few extra amenities (e.g. archery, darts).

    Some occidental dishes were virtually perfect (e.g., Italian pasta). On the other hand, the food (lunch) was extremely pleasant at the beach restaurant. On the flip side, there were some annoying aspects at dinner in the main restaurant cf. below). Shuttle transport (small vans) worked rather well - you can ask for them anytime through a network of linked intercom phones. The top aspect was the warm and friendly behavior of all the island's personnel. I had been in Kuala Lumpur a week before, and it think this could be said about the Malaysian people as a whole. We feel welcome everywhere.

    Everything was superb. We stayed at the hill villa, truly surrounded by the forest. The room itself was absolutely amazing; a special mention goes to the bathroom: so spacious with both the shower and a panoramic tab. An absolute value added has been the staff: great guys always friendly, welcoming and ready to support. Moreover, restoration was superb: our absolute favorite has been Fishermen’s cove but also Uncle Lim is a gem.

    The Jungle path requires some renovation and maintenance, and restoration of timber structures is an ongoing necessity to arrest decline.

    Luxuriously fitted and generous sized accommodation high amongst the trees and vines with easy accessibility and wonderful views. A great place to unwind, eat, read and swim with a choice of locations.

    There was some litter on the beach, not enough to ruin our experience, but could be quickly fixed by staff first thing in the mornings. Only other sight criticism was the duvet in our room had a hole in it so feathers escaped when we shook it out. Again quick fix for housekeeping to repair or replace

    Food, location, staff, massages all excellent. We’ll laid out resort, very peaceful

    - less tv channel option,no netflix - I believe that with a little more attention to detail in the cleaning process,especially bathtub . Thank you for considering this feedback

    I stayed at garden view, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The resort itself is beautiful, with stunning views of the ocean and beautifully landscaped gardens. The amenities offered were top-notch, the gourmet dining options. One of the highlights of my stay was the outstanding service provided by the staff, especially Mr Mahes and all majority staff . All went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was perfect. I highly recommend this private beach Resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway. Thank you, all the entire team for making my stay so special. I look forward to returning in the future.
