Great place to visit!

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Everything is expensive and not worth the price. Apart from room charge, you have to pay MYR160 per pax for boat transfer (this is must to reach the resort). And on checkout, they tried to double-charge us for room charge! How greedy they are.
