The boatman informed us that we were the only guests at the resort for the weekend. So when we met Kiki and she told us again that we were the only guests, we were a little worried but quite pleased too. The thought of having a whole resort to ourselves was really wonderful but at the same time we were apprehensive about the resort....is something wrong with it that it has no guests?

We were upgraded from garden view chalet to seaview chalet; a difference of about RM200. Our chalet was located away from the clubhouse with a wonderful view of the sea. It was good as it gave us lots of privacy.

The resort is on both sides of the island; where the chalets are face the South China Sea. The whole beach belongs to the resort; so we literally had the beach all to ourselves. The sea here is rougher. The other side is where we came in...it faces the mainland. The sea is calmer here and there is mongrove all along the beach. A beautiful piece of property.

This is the jetty where the boat stopped us. When the tide goes down, the water gets real low at the end of the jetty.

We were greeted by this sign. When we walked through the gates, it was like walking through an eco-resort. There are fruit trees all over before the clubhouse finally came to view.

The chalet has a king sized bed which is rather high up; I guess we are pretty short people.

The view from the bed is fantastic. The sea is just in front and there is an island within our view...it is Pulau Tinggi.

To add to this luxury is the toilet which is four times bigger than my toilet. It has a jacuzzi. It has a sun roof which makes it real bright. Very luxurious toilet and I love the concept.

The swimming pool....for just the two of us again.

Poolside bar...pretty lonely and empty without activity.

The entrance into the clubhouse and office.

We passed by the office one afternoon and saw it locked up with a chain.

The chalet which we stayed in.

The coffeehouse where we dined. Just the two of us. The prices of food is pretty steep. Can't get food elsewhere...so we have to eat here. Can eat in the village (about 25minutes walk away) but the shop is not open on Sundays.

So...for the first time in our lives, we had a beautiful, luxurious resort with its own beach all to ourselves. The privacy was awesome...no bumping into other souls. There are many workers around but they somehow know how to be invisible and visible again whenever we need them.

A great place to get reconnected to God, each other and nature.
