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.

Perfect island paradise with the most amazing and welcoming staff. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel at ease. Everything is paid for on card at the end of the stay which made it really easy. We stayed in a standard villa which was very comfortable with a huge futon. We had a perfect view of the sea for sunset. We did the island hopping and initially thought the price was 1,200,000 was per person however the price was per boat and as there were another 2 people we each paid 400,000 each which was excellent value for a full day of island hopping. We also rented a paddleboard for the day which was good fun.

Cute huts at a lovely and clean beach! We extended our stay for 2 more days and almost everyone we stayed on the island did 😂 it is a real calm and relaxing holiday with homecooked food and an island almost to yourself! Just prepare yourself to wait for the food because there is only one (good) cook ;) The organization is very good and easy with the owner Claudine. Three cute chickens and a cat was there as well, very cute athmosphere!

This truly was paradise on earth. The rooms all have beach front views, right on the water. The washroom was big and had excellent facilities. Everything was clean. The food! Omg some of the best food we have had in indonesia! Fresh fish, veggies and the spices to die for! Deni was amazing, kind and accommodating. Definitely will be back!
