Our group of 13 with nowhere to go except to local destinations decided to take the 3 days 2 nights package @ Myr 500 per pax offer. On the 8 Sept 20, we were at the jetty waiting to be transported to Kong Island without any expectations. Realistically we did not expect much from the price we paid.

3 days later it was time to leave and what we experienced were worth more than Myr 500 p/pax. Clean chalets with scenic balcony, daily breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner, daily conducted boat excursions, free usage of OK room and kayaks for the more adventurous. The staff were superb, friendly and accommodating. To Steve Kong, Steven, Borhan and the orang asli boatmen, thank you for a totally unexpected experience.

Hope to see you guys again.

The adventure begins when you step into the speedboat and fasten your life vest. Skimming over the sun-kissed waters of Lake Banding reflecting blue skies and jade green forests, you have an hour to enjoy clean air and watch out for hornbills.

Accomodation
Rooms are well planned and thought through. Loved the outdoor deck with shower and toilet .. far enough from the room for privacy and near enough to be convenient. Sitting on the deck, looking out onto the lake .. watching the fishing and kayakking enthusiasts while drinking coffee or sipping wine makes for a good holiday.

Activities
Our group of 30pax were able to fish, hike, swim and canoe during the day. At night we bonded over two great dinners - steamboat on the first night and bbq on the second.

Thank you Steve and Susan for sharing your dream island with us! Your energy is truly inspiring. It is your warmth, generosity and hospitality which make this place so special. It feels like you are sharing your home with family and friends!

One of the best trips that I ever had for a long while!

Belum Eco Resort is a rustic, tranquil, and eco-friendly resort, hosted by a friendly and accommodating couple, Steve and Susan.

Upon arriving at the Pulau Banting Jetty, we were greeted by Mr. Borhan, the friendly and helpful boat captain that day. We were ushered to a lovely comfortable boat-house. The journey was smooth and scenic, and the lake is magnificent!

Due credit to Borhan - he is an efficient and knowledgeable guide, a good photographer, boatman - he is generally a 'Jack of all trades.'

The accommodation is a rustic chalet type, but clean with a separate bathroom and washbasin with a spacious balcony overlooking the lake. However, the resort does not provide basic toiletries and amenities.

The food in the resort was simple yet, delicious, and generously served. To sum up my stay here - FANTASTIC! It's a highly recommended destination for those who need a 'back to nature' holiday with friends and family.
