Anyone care to give some comments on how is this island ? The resorts available and there is a new resort opening soon D'Coconut Lagoon, when is that opening? Can someone give recommendation on the better resort for a family with small kids.

Seasports centre provides rental to mask and fins, volleyball and boat rental for personal snorkelling trip.

A Beach volleyball court is available for all to use.
Beach Pub/club: opens lateer in the evening. Karaoke, pool table available, serving any drinks. Turning into a disco lateer in the nite.

Dive shop: There's one with Tanks and boat to cater to the divers. Friendly bunch of pple sharing experience there!

Cafeteria: All food are buffet style, serving local home-cooked style food. Standard are soso if you are there just to stop ur hunger. Visitors from outside Asia, the food may not suit your taste. Plus point to note is that the cafeteria serves free-flow of biscuits and bread, jams and butter, coffee, tea and orange juice free-flow 24 hours a day for pple with abyss stomach!

Rooms: Rooms are basic with clean bedsheets. Air-con and attached bathroom but no hot-water shower.

Sealife: Colorful common coral fishes, sea cucumber and Blacktip (saw 3 of them) swimming near the beach and highlight are the turtles (Saw 3 of them too) swimming near to the shore during high tide.

Jungle: Trekking tracks are available and u can trek to the nearby resorts. or alternatively, u can walk/climb along the shore line to reach the other resort, where the water is calmer.

Overall had a fantastic getaway there and will be back for more!

Hey, thanks for the JBR.

Did it rain while you where there? Was the surf at the SPR calm through out the 4D3N or does it change from day to day?

Thanks.
