We had a real nice stay there. It's a beautiful little island out in nowhere. So bring some cookies for yourself or the 3 nice guys (Yulio, Edo and Idris) that are hosting you and cooking so good 3 times a day or bring a guitar string for Yulios guitar, he will play some songs for you. They will be so thankful. Anyway it's the perfect place to find some rest and time to snorkel or cuddle with the cats or dog. We had such a great time there, made a bonfire and just sit together, sang together and talked and laughed. Since we organised the way to the Island ourselves we were happy that Ira organised our way back to Medan by a shared car. We could even pay by paypal or wise transfer since we couldn't find an ATM in Singkil that was working for us. Thanks for the wonderful stay. I would recommend this to anyone:-)

Everything was PERFECT. The food was the best, always plentiful, delicious and fresh! I would have taken the cook home if I could. Everyone went above and beyond.

very nice islands, water cristall clear, nice people, nice weather, nice superior bungalows right on the beach, free snorkel gear, free kayak, very recommendable Island hopping Tour, very friendly staff and owner

An amazing place worth traveling thousands of miles for. A secluded island where you can feel like Robinson Crusoe. Beautiful turquoise sea, sandy beach, and coral reefs with colorful fish. The hotel food is delicious and varied, and even though the staff doesn’t speak English, they are always helpful, kind, and friendly, making you feel like you’re visiting friends. I highly recommend staying at MB Palambak Island Resort and enjoying the island!
