We stayed on one of the Sea Villas located by the Spa Village, 818.
Lovely villa on stilts over the sea.
Very well kept to a high standard. Sun beds on the veranda, beautiful bathroom with extra large bathtub. You can opt to open the large windows and look out onto the sea while soaking in the tub.
Our room maid was lovely and kept everything clean and tidy.
The advantage of staying at the Spa Village is that it is less busy at this infinity pool than in the main area. We were extremely well looked after by Mizan going over and beyond to look after us. Thank you again, Mizan.
The food at Uncle Lims and The Fishermans Cove was fantastic!
We ate at these restaurants a number of times over the two weeks and found everything outstanding.
The main buffet restaurant was very good with an excellent selection for breakfast lunch and dinner.
Lovely lunch choices at Chapmans Bar, Royal Bay Beach Club and a healthy option at the Spa Village Bar.
Beaches are lovely with white soft sand. Here is the only downside....unfortunately the seas in this area of the Malacca Straits is very polluted. Every day there is a number of hotel staff whose sole job is to keep the beaches clean. It is an ongoing permanent operation sweeping up the mainly plastic bottles and assorted waste from the sea edge. It is a horrific sight to see how much waste is dumped or has made its way into our seas.
When swimming in the lovely clear, warm sea, it is full of rubbish bobbing about.
We, as a human race, have a lot to answer for 😞.
Other than the state of the sea, this is a wonderful island with lots of wildlife to see.
