The bungalow, the food, the snorkeling service, the cinema

Cute huts at a lovely and clean beach! We extended our stay for 2 more days and almost everyone we stayed on the island did 😂 it is a real calm and relaxing holiday with homecooked food and an island almost to yourself! Just prepare yourself to wait for the food because there is only one (good) cook ;) The organization is very good and easy with the owner Claudine. Three cute chickens and a cat was there as well, very cute athmosphere!

Perfect island paradise with the most amazing and welcoming staff. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel at ease. Everything is paid for on card at the end of the stay which made it really easy. We stayed in a standard villa which was very comfortable with a huge futon. We had a perfect view of the sea for sunset. We did the island hopping and initially thought the price was 1,200,000 was per person however the price was per boat and as there were another 2 people we each paid 400,000 each which was excellent value for a full day of island hopping. We also rented a paddleboard for the day which was good fun.

Dinner was more rice than I could eat, lunch was OK, but for breakfast there was only a very thin banana pancake. On the way to Singkil I bought waffles, marshmallows, cookies, chocolate cookies, small breads with cheese or chocolate for 25 EUR. I was not hungry and I did not lose weight. - Some useful information 2 flights per week from Medan to Singkil with Susi Air.

An island paradise that you share with only a few other tourists. Beautiful natural bungalows, excellent food, and always helpful and friendly staff who took great care of us. A stunning sea full of coral and marine life, with the option to go on snorkeling trips. We’ve rarely left a place so reluctantly, and we’ll be happy to return if we ever get the chance.
