A trip to remember
My sister and I never been into any private islands like this before. A very humble resort that offers a sheer beautiful beach and corals. We stayed at the water villa for 2 nights and had a chance to watch sunrise and sunset everyday from our balcony. What a bless!!! We were welcomed by Mazlan the resort Manager which was very helpful and honest about the service at this island. No electricity from 2.30pm to 5.30pm and wifi connection is very limited and you can only get it at the restaurant. Food was awesome. A bit pricy ; that's normal, but you will enjoy it. Staffs here are very warm, helpful and always putting a smile on their faces. The water is so clean, fresh and clear. A lot of sea cucumbers in the water. May be its their season I guess. Don't go snorkelling during low tide, you will step into corals. We've learnt our lesson. A lots of activities can be done in here; kayaking, snorkelling, snorkelling and scuba diving trip and jungle tracking. Oh ya, you can play volley ball at the beach too. Are you a turtle lover. This place is perfect for you. It's a conservation centre for turtles since they are endangered species nowadays. You can see the hatching place and baby turtles swimming in a pool in from of the restaurant. In fact they are one of the first things you will see once you arrive at this island. I will definitely come again! Recommended to every island lovers out there. This is one of the must go island in your list.
