Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"Absolutely lovely resort - the resort is beautiful and feels like paradise. The staff are all amazing, great service everywhere. The restaurants are reasonably priced (a bit more expensive than the mainland but seems reasonable given the location) and all the meals we had were really nice - we stayed for a week and had tried most dishes by the end , there isnโ€™t a huge variety and only a few Malaysian options. Our room was up a steep hill but you can ask for a ride up on the buggy if you donโ€™t fancy the walk. Everything does close up quite early (last order for a drink 10pm) but can see why as we were always the only people still around at this time - everyone seems to disappear about 8:30 so it can feel a bit of a weird atmosphere if youโ€™re an evening person. There are lots of biting insects around so do take some decent insect repellent as the oil the resort provides didnโ€™t seem effective at all. They light insight repellent coils outside each villa in the evening - it would be good if the resort could add these at the bar area at the Pantai restaurant too. A few things. The rooms just arenโ€™t insect proof at all - eg thereโ€™s gaps in the door so we got bitten a lot. Each day we had to brush ants off our bed. When we first arrived there was a large number of ants (dead and alive) on the bed. We stayed for a week and the bedding wasnโ€™t changed at all during this time, which was surprising especially as I had a couple insect bites which left a bit of blood on the bedding."
