My family - all 10 of us - had good fun at the Island resort. From the catamaran ride of 45 minutes from Tanjung Leman to the diverse activities on the island. Firstly, what you see when you arrive - lovely tame spotted deers and peacocks. Then the accommodation. The villas especially the Layang-Layang suites were ideal when you have... More

Spent 3 days there with my wife and 2 kids (3years and 9months). It's an old hotel that had a rustic charm about it. If you go in thinking you're getting a great price for a swanky beach resort, think again. It's not swanky but it works. Sure the rooms etc could be better but it's that kinda place. My... More

The 4 stars for Sibu reflect our overall enjoyment of our 4 days in Sibu with friends. We loved the resort, even allowing that not everything was perfect. But sometimes (especially in this part of the world) you have to overlook those little things (which, frustratingly, could be so easily fixed), laugh at the mis-steps, don't expect too much and...
