Salybia Village hotels from RM489

"Our party of 5 arrived after dark and did not know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised by the facility in general and our room in particular - this held our party perfectly. One enclosed room with a king sized bed; and an open area which held one king sized and two queen sized beds. There was more than enough room to move around, and we were all quite satisfied with our pick. We couldn't see it at the time because the blinds had to be closed but we could hear the sea very close by. The next morning we could see that there was a large private verandah and the beach right there. There were steps leading from our verandah down to the beach. After exploring the facility we found the pool rather small but warm. The staff were over and above great to deal with.They accommodated us in every way, but were polite and firm when they needed to be, and answered questions patiently. The dining area was well laid out and we liked the fact that we had the same table each meal. The food was local and delicious and we enjoyed all our meals. "

"The lodges were perfect for anyone wanting an authentic experience where the rain forest meets the sea- lots of wildlife to see and hear. The staff, particularly Kim and Tiara, were kind and helpful and the food was delicious. Our only concern was the unfinished paths around the lodges which made it muddy when it rained - the paths need to reach the lodges, also the path down to the beach was not accessible easily at high tide. Fabulous place though overall and would return."

"The location is amazing for enjoying nature and the unspoilt environment, with great views if hummingbirds in the garden. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were kind and attentive, with knowledgable guides always on hand. A lovely exprience."
