Comfortable Accommodations

I stayed in a spacious family deluxe chalet that had one double and one single bed. The room was equipped with essential amenities, like a refrigerator and a work desk. I found the upgrade worthwhile for those who wish for a bit more comfort during their stay.

Relaxing Massage

During my visit, I indulged in a lovely massage overlooking the sea for RM120 per hour. It was a wonderfully relaxing experience after a day of snorkeling, providing the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the tranquil ambiance.

Fantastic Snorkeling

Snorkeling right off the beach was an absolute highlight of my stay! I saw stunningly colorful fish as well as baby blacktip sharks. This marine life experience was simply fascinating, and I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the resort!
