We live in Singapore and the Rimba crew organised transport to and from the city. Once at the jetty in Malaysia it is a 20 minute ride by boat ( wear clothing that you will not mind getting wet and shoes that you can slip off easily when you arrive at the other side). We arrived at 9:30 pm and... More

I cannot speak highly enough of a weekend break to Rimba. We took some friends this time and they fell in love with the island straight away. We were picked up in Singapore at 8am and by 11:30 we were on the island and sitting at the bar, this was with two 1 year olds in tow. The food as... More

relaxed, remote and very friendly atmosphere right on the beach - nature-luxury, silence and ok diving/ snorkling, with many differnet corals and fine diversity in oceanlife- small primitive bambu chatelles facing the sea. A little to expensive - but still a lovely place. Easy to get to from Singapore.

We returned to Toronto last week and are already discussing plans to return to SE Asia--especially Malaysia, and Pulau Sibu. We LOVED Rimba--the scenery, the open bar/lounge space, the rustic, cozy cabins. Everything was... More

If you are prepared for a back-to-basics experience this place is great. The food is all included and is amazing. Great buffets and variety all cooked really well. Coming from Singapore the large quantities of fruit and veges were very enjoyable! The staff are amazing. All front of house staff are English (accept one Canadian) and are so so friendly... More

A beautiful resort in a beautiful setting. If you want. Luxury teak with all mod cons,the this is not for you. It's biggest assets is the simplicity of facilities. Sleeping in a straw hut , safely encased in your own mosquito net is not luxury, but waking to the breathtaking beauty of the ocean, the charming jungle sounds and the... More

We arrive at the port 4 hours later and took to 20 minute boat ride in the dark to the island. The resort is similar to... More
