Clean and spatial apartment. Friendly, helpfull staff. Breakfast (included) options at the restaurant are very complete. Good lunch and dinner options as well. Cheap local meals are available at the beach bar. Beautiful and clean beach.

Many day tourists at the beach until 3 pm, quite and peaceful afterwards.

Sutera Lodges are super cozy and perfectly clean, we really enjoyed it a lot! Huge bathroom, super comfortable beds, nicely furnished, with air conditioner and ventilator on the ceiling. Tv has few entertaining tv programs on English. Stuff is very friendly and professional, helped us with everything we needed. The restaurant has wide selection of tasty meals, Asian abd Western style. All in all a perfekt accomodation! .

Perfect island stay

For starters, the place is amazing. The island gets so peaceful at night when the day guests are gone. During the day, you can lounge on sunbeds in the private beach area. Yes, other daytourists can enter there, but we found them not doing this often as it was clearly marked as a beach for in-house guests only. When you check in, you get very clear instructions about what you can do on the island and what to look out for. You can get a snorkel and life vest for free if you ask. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. When they prepared ours, they put already the aircon on and the radio, it felt really welcoming. The staff goes out of their way to make your stay very pleasant. I would definitely stay here again!

The only small part we did not like were the hairs on the carpet near the tv, but compared to all the good things this was such a minor thing.

Amazing accomodation with best view on the hill

The island is very nice and the accomodation is very well kept plus spacious. I definitely recommend to stay on the hills room, where there is a better view and is in front of the resort private beach, so less day trippers crowding the area during the day.

Amazing staff, broken AC

Absolutely amazing views and location. The staff was incredible and you could tell they were all working their patooties off.

Unfortunately it seems like the focus is getting as many people in and out as possible. We had a hillside villa (not cheap!) and the air conditioner downstairs only blew hot air — despite several attempts to get it fixed/rectified, we were unable to use it. We also didn’t have a remote control to change the fan speed downstairs (despite our attempts as well) so the downstairs was almost entirely unusable due to the heat. We had already been moved once about an hour after arriving, and didn’t want to have to move again. I always want to give remote places such as this extra leeway but was overall disappointed with the price vs quality. I also completely understand insects/animals in a place so close to the jungle but our bathroom was completely overrun by ants (literally thousands) near the bathtub — and it was only worse after our room was cleaned on our 2nd day.

Bad

Calm, and good for old couples

Low-quality service. Taxes for foreigners, wherever you go. The staff wasn't nice, and kept me starving on the first night, stating that the restaurant closes at 21h30 whereas in the guide it says 22h00. The food is really poor quality. It is way over-priced for the quality of service and facilities. Definitely not worth it

The room could have been better cleaned as it was sandy even upon our check in

Beautiful big rooms on recluse spot.

The lodges are big in size, and the comfort is met while being on a recluse island. All the necessary equipment was provided.

Contacting the staff in advance through the platform or through whatsapp was extremely painful. Be aware if you have special requirements. Small note, some equipments were broken such as the bathrub, or slightly clogged shower. Not a big deal. While very kind, the staff was overwhelmed, especially at arrival. We do think the stay is overpriced for its value. The beaches were nice but not must see compared to other Malaysian islands.

Great beach but rest of rasort fell short of expectations

The private beach was picturesque. Would have been perfect had not been for noisy children clearing up (or supposedly clearing up) rubbish. staff were very attentive and good throughout

Water came through our bathroom ceiling so had to get moved to another room. We were asked if we wanted the bbq for dinner and said yes but didn’t know how expensive it was until the bill came. 130 ringgits per person for a self service bbq with average food to grill felt very expensive. Power was off between 4 and 6 on our first day, and no wifi. everything was expensive - 11 ringgit for soft drinks or water was roughly double the most we had paid elsewhere.

Superb staycation near KK city

Nice island getaway

The island was very nice. Once the crowds leave in the afternoon you almost feel like you're on a deserted island. You can see a lot of fish from the dock at night, even sharks. The room was spacious and clean. Really good breakfast.

The pool was green and dirty, therefore not working which was disappointing. One of the only activities to do on the island is a jungle trail leading to the sunset point. But at the same time, the trail is not usable as it's not being maintained. It's overgrown, blocked with fallen trees. They should take care of maintaining it. No wifi, and almost no connection.

Poor wifi and phone service. Orders at the restaurant forgotten a few times. Room walls paper thin so your night's sleep depends on having quiet neighbours.

Not much option at the restaurant and most of the time they ran out of food say 6 menu for dinner 3 is out and your only option is the 3 like it or not you eat or you don't. Restaurant menu need to improved. And probably would be nice to have some night life or more restaurant option.
