Extremely friendly crews. My Younger one made good friends with them and did not want to leave. My older one enjoyed the conservation kids club a lot and kept talking about it in the following days. Well maintained facilities and nicely grown plants. Very relaxing holiday. Weekend buffet is good.

Location is spectacular and chalets are ok but would be better for the price paid. Beach is truly nice but you can only use during morning with high tide. Breakfast is very good and with a lot of different foods to choose

Facilities are simple and there is not so much options to choose. There is only one menu and you cannot eat a la carte. There is also no bar service (only drinks and some snacks). Being unable to choose and having nothing closer then the final price you pay is quite different from the one published on the booking website or their own website. Price for money is expensive

Food could be improved, expecially at dinner giving more than one option. Unfortutely we missed the snorkelling trip, as we were 10 min late (and nobody called us even if it was the only activity for the whole day), this was very bad as we have not the opportunity to fully appreciate the island (tip: be very sharp or they let you there!).
This place is amazing! Lovely beach huts and nice situation. On the beach. Beautiful view. Nice firendly stuff.

transport from the fery place to the main bus terminals. if the property could have the same boat transport arrangement -at least from one bus terminal JB/Mersing - available for land transport it would be superb.if possible adding drinking waters dispensers for each 3 chalets for drinking water, it would have been awesome"specially if you wake up thirsty in the middle of the night for no reason" .

Need improvement in these areas: 1) Boatman needs to approach guests at Tanjung Leman jetty with a board with guest names... the few boatmen were sitting around A1 shop waiting to be approached n not looking up/ ready for guests approach. I have walked up to the table at least twice where they were seated n non had given me eye contact and they were all looking down. 2) Bed linens were very sandy, not thoroughly cleaned and towels were moldy smelling. 3) Not enough lighting at night to walk back safely to our unit. 4) The chicken served was very tough and gives the feeling of using leftover chicken. The prawns in the mango salad too are not fresh prawns n either leftover or over cooked. Chicken satay meat for lunch also has the same hard texture. 5) Staff are not open to mingle with guests. 6) life jackets were not given to us not were any to be seen on the boat when we depart and the sea was extremely rough.
1) Great job to Niki and Jack whom were both very friendly and gives high energetic vibes! Tqvm Niki for the Eco Weekend beach cleaning effort.

No doors in chalets (One staff kept clearing his throat loudly in the morning on our last day, he spat out the contents on the grounds in front of chalet walkways, 3 of us witnessed it, we know it's an island and all things are organic and he may not even realize it's a cringing habit but hey if we noticed it... suggest management can put a stop immediately to it and up the briefings ;p )

The huts could be renovated. Also there were lots of ants in our bed. That is probably normal due to the position directly at the beach, but the thought of them running around on your pillow was not that pleasant. Also, the WIFI was very bad/non-existent, considering the price of the hotel.
Snorkelling trips were very nice with wonderful hotel team members, the beach and the premises were also very pleasant. It was possible to borrow snorkel equipment. The food was very good and the bar had a very nice atmosphere in the evenings.
