Reviews from Real Guests:

Kriszticske: After a rough journey - delayed flight due to hart attack, 2 times missed connecting flight, bus transfer from Kota Bharu to Kuala Besut jetty, then a crazy good and super fast speed boat trip - we departed to paradise. Small, but comfy island with wide varieties of bars, restaurants, hotels and last but not least chrystal clear blue-green water with amazingly colorful ocean life. If you wish to avoid crowd, planning to travel at the end of Sept. is a good choice.
