Bought a package during the MATTA fair last year
Was looking for a nice getaway during the holidays...
Getting there was by berjaya air - pretty rough ride considering its the rainy season. The plane has to virtually make a 90 degrees angle right turn as it lands on the runway, can be quite a scary experience if you're not used to small planes.
Location: It's quiet, excellent place for a getaway. Fresh air. You may want to avoid the rainy season as there is nothing much to do here except go out. So, if it rains, you can be pretty much stuck in your room. The resort is self sufficient, all your need is $$$.
Accommodation: Very dated. This is my biggest complaint! I would assume this place was very nice in the early 90's. I stayed in a deluxe room, near the restaurant area. Furniture is very old, some even broken. I had to call the maintenance guy to fix the lights and air conditioning a few times. This place certainly needs a makeover. Free Wifi available in lobby and restaurant areas. There is a safe in the room.
Facilities: Swimming pool, private beach area, restaurant, bar, sauna (you need to go to the golf area - at this sauna is really ancient! There is a special counter at the lobby to inform you of all the activities within the area (which includes snorkeling and diving).
Restaurant food: Fair. They have varieties for local and western cuisine.
Sea is not as crystal clear as always stated in the brochures.
The marine conversation park has a better range of fishes if you're keen for snorkeling. Bring bread along...
If you're looking for a place with nothing much to do but see the sea and sand, this resort has ti all!
