if you need to do nothing, relax and catch up with sleep, have some quiet, this is the place to go.
cheaper than bintan banyan tree and maldives!!!
at least my husband was able to feel so relax that he could take two naps in the day and still sleep in the night!
there is no internet or phones on this island.
if you bring your own iphone or laptops you can access internet at the hotel bar where there is free wifi.
no phones in the rooms!
so if you need anything, you got to walk to the counter to ask for more water, or change of towels.
this place is supposed to be eco friendly, so they don't change your towels unless you ask them to.
they also don't use any form of plastic bags or plastic bottles.
hence refillable glass bottles were used to fill up drinking water.
even the villas are all built from wood and almost everywhere is sandy!
above all, there is no air-conditioning.
but on top of every bed there is a ceiling fan and mosquito net.
surprisingly, it's very cooling and we all did not have problem sleeping in the night, with the wide ocean right before us!
there are only 13 villas on this private island at the moment. (you can book the entire island if you want to have a big big party!)
there is a hill on the island and most part of the island is untouched or not developed (conserved)
lots of nature so be prepared for mosquito, ants, flies and crickets!
as for food, there is only one menu.
you just gotta eat whatever they serve.
but don't worry it's simple but tasty food.
there is separate menu for kids too.
it was a great holiday for us and we think it's good for our kids who are so used to the city life!
they really enjoyed it.
they didn't feel that the place was dirty, or too rustic or too uncomfortable with sand, trees, woody furniture and insects everywhere.
in fact they were very adventurous and active.
good thing that i got use to it after a while too and was able to sit back and relax.
good place to chill out.
even my kids knew how to do it! ;0
