Bayu Lestari Island Resort

Amazing view of the beach, sand & sea. My wife & I took travel package under Bayu Lestari Resort 3 days 2 night. The package included returns boat travel from jetty to the pulau besar island, 3 times a day Malaysian Foods and accommodation. For me, 2 day is good enough to explore this island since there are not so many activities to be done here. Main transportation in this island is using motorcycles & bicycle. The fee for rent a bicycle is RM 10 for an hours or max RM 50 per day. We do some kayaking & swimming. Its a mind peaceful place to go, releasing stress since not so many people here. Anyway on negative side is the beach sand got sand flies/bug and can caused itchy to your skin, and try avoid lay your body on the sand too long.

This is my 2nd time..I really love to stay here.. Friendly staff, delicious food 3x per day..😝 The beach & view is good.. In term of cleanliness, is acceptable..u can felt sand debris on the floor but luckily there is a 🧹 provided for us to 🧹 it… We had pleasant stay here & will come back again.. definitely..🤪

This resort is disgusting. Cats on top of your food and inside the kitchen. Rooms with cockroaches all over the place, bed bugs, mosquitoes everywhere. Bed sheet not changed, NO HOT water. All facilities are broken. Shoking place... Save your money and go to another place.. not only waste of money but will make you upset and sick.

the worst hotel you can choose , I do not understand how this hotel has 3 stars , such a shame , the food is not to be eaten , animals inside the room , from potatoes , frogs all kinds of animals , etc

I've been working in hotels for over 40 years and I've been on vacation in many hotels and without a doubt this is the worst hotel I've ever been to, how come this hotel has 4 stars??? the food is a disgrace, the rooms you could find all kinds of animals from cockroaches, toads, without feet, etc. the bed sheets full of blood

The Island is beautiful. Its feels a little bit like Robinson Crusoe which is surely still the result of the corona lock-down. There are a few little resorts (means a few bungalows with an open common area) and hardly any local living. Every resort was almost empty and everything looked like a refurbishment is needed although the gardening was well maintained. There is no good snorkeling from the beach since the island seems to be surrounded only by rocks. A snorkel trip by boat is therefore mandatory. The beach is very pretty but there are sandflies that are vary annoying. Be prepared to get bitten and protect yourself with strong mosquito repellient. Bayu Lestari: Many thanks to the reservation team which was awesome. Communication worked very well via mail and whats app. They were able to organize private transfers and everything worked out very well. The staff in general was very friendly and sweet. The lobby/restaurant area is open and cozy with lounge seats and wooden tables. The beach has wooden beach chairs and hammocks surrounded by palm trees that give enough shade. From the jetty you have a beautiful view on the island; I loved to do yoga there. The bungalows are very spacious with wooden floor, mosquito net and air-con. The bed is comfortable, the room was overall clean. The bathroom is very spacious as well but here comes the downside: it urgently needs renovation. There was mold on the wall and the shower door was old and filthy. There is no good circulation in the bathroom and that is the main problem. Some bungalows do not have a hot shower but thats ok because the water is not ice cold. The food comes not as buffet which I liked; they serve several plates with mostly fish, fried chicken, rice, veggies, egg and fruits. Tea/Coffee and water is free fill up all day. Malaysian food in generally is not the best, so the resort food was definitely fine. We stayed 4 nights so it became a little boring due to a lack of variation in dishes. But overall they did a good job. I only give an average result because it is a little overprized for what you get. But this seems to be a problem on all islands in this area. Compared to Malaysian standard pricing, every island charges way too much (Rawa Island and Batu Batu is ridiculous). Especially for Europeans it is not understandable although the location is just amazing.

Food is included in the package and Food they served was very limited in options and malay oriented•not in consideration of guest preference•some international cuisines might be added•and buffet system would be better to avoid food wastage

superb view. clean beach.white sand.enjoyable nice place for family vacation.room clean bathroom: clean food :yummy customer service: good beach: clean boat transfer also smooth will repeat for sure. tq

1- The island itself and the beaches are great. A bit of sandflies at certain area but still a nice place to relax. Snorkeling spots are around the island, 15-20 mins boat ride which is exciting enough. 2- The sorrounding area is clean and well kept. The staff did a good job in keeping the place tidy and pleasant. 3- Here comes the downside, the room need a lot of maintenance works especially the toilet. We paid RM450+ per night, the price is not justified with the room condition. See the photo attached and you will understand what I meant. Its a shame that the management didn't upkeep the standard. 4- Food were average, taste is fine but the portion is too small. Nasi Lemak was served without kacang and ikan bilis. How's that even possible. Need to get the basic right. 5- On the plus side, night sleep was comfy, I surprised there's not as many mosquito as I anticipated. We would love to come again if those issue are addressed. 6- Management, please repair your toilet immediately. It's not right to charge such amount with that kind of standard.
