We just spent 3 nights and four days here. It was clean and beautiful but the best part is the friendly helpful staff. You feel welcome and any problems are taken care of immediately. The food is basic and good. The snorkel trips amazing. True there is no hot water and no air conditioning but that is part of the... More

You really must go here...the resort is very clean and well run. The diving is excellent and the staff friendly and knowledgable. Our chalet was lovely and spacious and just 15 seconds to the beach (only 10 seconds to the bar!) The food was delicious and varied and there was lots of it.

Had a couple of nights back at sea gypsy whilst visiting friends in JB. This time we used the pick up service from JB (tebrau). This was efficient and comfortable and arrived in time for 2pm boat. The resort remains as lovely as ever. It really is the most wonderful place to relax and recharge your batteries. The only thing... More

We stayed at Sea gypsy for 4 nights over the Easter break and all had a great time. What makes this resort is it's no frills, back to basics feel and we loved it. The website has pretty much every detail you could wish for and whilst we knew what to expect we could have never envisaged how beautiful, laid... More

We went to Sea Gypsy for the first time last week and went with some friends visiting from the UK. I had been recommended Sea Gypsy some time ago but this was my first opportunity to go. I was a bit nervous taking friends as I was just relying on word of mouth recommendations. I think the kids were happy... More

We stayed at sea gypsy over Easter with some friends and I have to say I was a little weary about staying In a place with no Internet the potential of creepy crawlies and cold showers. Well from the minute we stepped of the boat my fears were gone. The resort is very clean spacious and very friendly staff. Even... More

We had a great four days! Our family beach hut had a great view of the ocean. The beach was huge and clean! The water warm and clear. The hut was simple but did its job. We only used it to sleep and shower. Its warm enough there that not having hot water is not an issue. I enjoyed the... More

First of all, you have to understand the spirit of this resort in order to enjoy your stay: small bungalows on the beach, no AC, no hot water in the shower, sounds of animals in the middle of the night... But if you are ready for this, you will surely like this place! And we loved it!! The location is... More
