Well, as I mentioned earlier, in this post I'm sharing with you all about the resort, the beautiful beaches and fun activities offered by the resort and maybe a liltle about the 'sweet' beach girl :)
BTW, if anyone from Sibu Island Resort happens to read my entry, a 3D2N stay free voucher giftaway is much appreciated! :) another 1 day I pay myself...lol
[I'm pretty sure that I'm doing an awesome sincere promo here]
Arrived at the jetty exactly at 10.30am. Stepping out from the boat, myself & all the passengers of the boat dengan wajah terpukau, blurred & giles gedix nak mandi laut make our way lenggang~lenggok straight towards to the reception which is located in the main building. My luggage yg berketul~ketul penuh dengan 4 days "runway show outfits" itu were taken care and sent straight to my suite room.
Wow! such a spacious resort. Been greeted with a welcome drink [bukan air sirap okay, tapi apple juice] and a Piliphino trio group welcomed us with a live performance singing a song ♫♫selamat datang ke sibu island resort ♫♫♫.
Wahh!!! it was head over heels already ;))
This resort was opened sometimes in year 2000. The resort was closed for a massive refurbishment work & facelift makeover nearly a year and re-opened recently in year 2009. So, what else to expect rather than a brand new and clean accomodation on one-island resort with an international four-star rating.
The walkway from the jetty towards the reception / main building.
The Lumba-Lumba restaurant where I had delicious food through out my stay plus daily live performance during dinner.
The swimming pool with [closed for business] sunken pool bar.
Allright, pick your direction. Which way to go.......
First and foremost, let me take you to my special request suite room with ocean view.
During the reservation, I specifically requested the best room in the resort and the staff recommended me a Serindit Suite 1103.
Generally, they are 121 chalets of superior, deluxe and three types of suites – Serindit [great for single/twin sharing] , Layang Layang [great for triple sharing] and Honeymoon [of course for honeymooners with private beach] – set amidst lush vegetation and well-landscaped gardens. Each chalet is tastefully refurbished for a warm homely feeling and is equipped with standard facilities within the 'kampung' ambiance.

Walk with me guys, I'm taking you to my suite room....jeng! jeng! jeng! Seriously, after checked-in I was kind of lost in locating my room because it's located at the end of the island facing the beautiful Beach 2. It was like walking from north to south :P I was kind of heebie ~ jeebies already.......
Wonder of how my room looks like as it does matters to me for the next 4 days :)
Tara! Dang!! a big smile was on my face when I saw this. NggEeeehhHhhhh ^__________^
Single suite chalet with ocean view. However, there is another suite in front of my suite; Serindit 1102 which is exactly by the beach but it has some defect on the aircond & heater. So, Serindit 1103 is the best though! :)

It has 1 living hall
with tv [happy to saw tv as I'm a HBO sunday movie fan].
and bedroom hall with twin sharing bed. Surprisingly, the housekeeping keep my suite room clean every single day and change the towels daily :)
Dressing table
and the wardrobe
I've told you, it's gonna be a white beach holiday!
What a surprised when I opened my wooden window, the friendly deer was eating grasses & forest leaves behind my suite. They eat just any type of vegetation or mast they can find on the ground. oWh! sooooooo cute!
View from my suite room; overlooking Beach 2 which is more popular compared to Beach 1.
8-10 meters on foot from my suite to the beach [chek agak2 lar, tapi kalo bersin tu terkejut lar ikan di laut...heheeee]
With four beaches, each with its own unique character and a well-equipped sports centre, the resort has enough to keep holiday-makers happy on the island.
During my check in, only 12-15paxs of us on the island plus 80 over pax of staff that belongs to the resort. Wow! That is definitely a big number of resort staff :D
Other Deluxe and superior rooms with forest or garden view.
The muted earthy tones kampung style chalets built in the heart of the island jungle.

This resort is more popular among the Singaporean maybe because of the location and easy access to them. During my stay, there was a group of 15paxs Singaporean who checked in just for 1 nite....errrkkkk??? cukupkah? lol
The resort has 4 beaches. What's an island getaway without sandy beaches or the sea?
Yeeaahhhh~~~ here it comes the tan part T__T
The white angels was slowly turns to shimmering black swan...huhuuuu
Enjoy the beaches view ;)
My personal opinion, this resort is nearly alike the luxury Pangkor Laut Resort [PLR] which represent one island one resort but of course the PLR carries the 5 stars rating with multiple international award winning resort & spa titles. Anyway, Sibu Island Resort needs to work a liltle harder towards the equivalent standard and maybe it needs more promotion so that it is commonly known among Malaysian :)
For record to those who wanted to know the comparison, Perhentian beach is still the best. Comparing Perhentian and Redang, still Perhentian is the best [my sincere personal opinion]
Beach 2
Beach 1
Looking at this beach soccer field reminds me to the tv programme 'Bridget most sexiest beach' awwww!!! the gedix Bridget :P
Since the resort only occupies one-third of the 65-hectare island, a large part of the island, especially the coastal forest, is still untouched. A really interesting excursion is along the island’s back-bone.
This is the jungle trekking trail. I was dying to go for this adventure hike....unfortunately, I was advised to wear a proper sport attire and sport shoes is a must for safety reason.... T__T

mana lar chek koser nak bawa sport shoes pegi holiday.....huarrggghhhhh!!! tengok tangga jer lar ~.~
The choice of trails is exciting – an hour-long one-km Rainbow Trail, a 90-minute 1.5km sea-shore Horizon Trail and the arduous 3km Island Expedition.
I had the spa on the last day. The service? urmmm...it just okay and average. As a spa-goers, I believe the masseuses [massagers] could imporove more on their customer service and courtesy. However, the massage techniques was excellent and the treatment rooms was nicely decorated. I had 1 hour traditional massage at RM162 at 10pm. It was a feeling of easiness in my whole body & bringing me a great comforts of having my body massaged at night just before bedtime. Hardly walked back to my suite and ZzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzzz like a dead cat :))))
The resort offers a lots of activities. Closed your eyes and point your finger to any of them :)
Kids playground
Adult trampoline
Are you dare to climb this super giant structure? eeiiiii!!! I shall fire my boss if he gedix to do a company team building here and kena pulak panjat2 menatang nie..aiyarkkk!!! ~~~ I fainted x__-
Flying fox; flew like a scared red fox but landed beautifully like a Megan fox....lol
This was easy cik jah...ahaks!
Tapi according to the recreation manager who supervised the game, I didn't put enough strength while shooting.... tak cukup power ~. x
that was why my arrows didn't terpacak mendatar elok, condong semacam jarr...hahahaaa
Anyway, it was in the yellow circle okay :D
and my favourite was island hopping.YeyyYYy! It cost me RM50/person for 2hrs boat trip to Pulau Sibu Tengah; the only island with settlement of 200 villagers.
We stopped at one of the many 'kelong' located in the middle of the sea.
Some of the 'addicted' kaki pancing overnight here. This kelong has a restaurant inside. This look scary to me as it using only wooden beams as the structure.
The jetty provided by state goverment at Pulau Sibu Tengah. I like it very much. Beautiful! ;) Unfortunately, when I reached this island, my camera battery nearly dead.......huaarrrghhhhh
So, no madonna posing pics okay :(
We [me and other island hopping travellers] were given 30 minutes to mingle around the island. I wished I can rent a bycycle to explore the 'kampung'. It was the best, cheap and fastest way to explore a new place [errkkk...I don't know how to ride a two-wheelers engine okay]. But there was no such bycycle rental service though. I didn't walk further into the village as it started to rain and stop, and rain again and stop again...... :(
[cuaca kat pulau memang macam tu sebab hujan lalu jer merentasi laut/pulau towards the mainland]

What a scenic view. Amazing fisherman village panorama!
and I met her!!!
Okay...sambung sket lagi. On the 2nd day on the island, then suddenly I realized 'huh!! how am I going to the Senai airport from Tg Leman Jetty to catch my flight back home?" OMG! I didn't even think about it...hahahaaa...silly me ~.~ too excited thinking of going and never thought about coming back home :P
I was amazed by the stunning view of these pink flowers. They are so georgeous!...and everywhere in the village. According to one of the villager that I met, she said this trees lasting because no cows or goats bother to eat them..lol
Closer look
I had delicious ice kacang at the local restaurant. Terpaku kakak kedai tu sbb suddenly all of us [including the boat crews, F&B manager, recreation manager & a few resort staff who joint my island hopping trip] swarmed into her shop and everyone was asking for ice kacang lol.....
30 minutes over. Tett!!! because I was the last one who placed the order, I had to pack my ice kacang and sruttt! sruttt!! menikmatinya on the boat sambil ditiup angin laut :)
...dan huhuuuuu! due to cloudy weather and heavy rain on the mainland, I was unable to catch the sunset :(

FYI, there is no taxi counter or public transport available at Tg Leman jetty.
After 13seconds panic attack o.O, I called the reception and they were more than happy to assist me. Half an hour later, I was told that everythings has been arranged. A taxi [arranged for downtown, JB] will pick me from the jetty to the airport. Huh! and the fun continued~~~ yeyyyy! :)
Hurmmmm.....anything else you wanted to know cik jah? aceh!
urmmm.....owh! yeaa...One last thing; I keep telling myself that kalolah I was left stranded on the island for 2weeks continously or maybe 3 weeks, I will definitely survive! only thing I need is lots and lots of Lancome :))
okay~~~sambung tengok ocean balik :)
