海上的垃圾有點多，房間內的設備有一點就了，但其他的一切都非常棒，很有渡假的氛圍，可以待在海裡一整天。退潮時若要下水建議要自備膠鞋不然腳很容易碰到珊瑚

Overpriced

Let's start with the good points: amazing staff (from waiters to manager), nice view and environment. great breakfast. 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.

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.
