My husband and I planning for a getaway with my 20 MO daughter. It was to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary and secretly celebrating his 42nd birthday. We got Chris's number at the website and straight away call to make a booking. She managed to put us thru eventhough in short notice and they were having a full house that... More

I went during the first week of October, the low season of the east coast of Malaysia's island resorts. Some days it was just me at the Mirage resort, with the whole beach and whole resort to myself and the staff! Perfect, just what I needed. Water is crystal clean, and the staff are amazing. The owner Mancoral himself was... More

The island is peaceful and not crowded. Less than 50 people live on the island with only 3 resorts. Mirage is not the most luxuary one but the beach is perfect and the bar and restaurant are cosy. The children could easily play in the sea because it was not very deep. Food was basci but good.

This is a place for total relaxation. There are no hub of activities and no wifi. If you want to go on snorkelling trips you need a minimum of 8 pax or rent the whole boat at RM 400. However, if you are the type who likes to relax, lounge and hit the beach, and you are on a budget,... More

As mentioned by previous advisors, this is not a place for people who are looking for a luxury stay. Booking: We were there for 5 days and 4 nights, full board with boat transfer for RM4000++. We booked through email. 50% of the total charge must be made through bank transfer to confirm the booking. Accomodation: 2 families of 10... More

We stayed here the last few days of a one month trip and it was wonderful! The food was perfect, the staff very friendly, the room beautiful (and beautifully decorated because it was our honeymoon) and the people on the island very hospitable! James (the neighbour) made us cocktails and baked us a pizza when we were leaving, Eddy (down... More

We had a 40th birthday bash - several families and lots of kids...25 in total! Great time as we were able to chill out. The kids were safe; running freely in the intimately sized compound while the adults relaxed. Nothing fancy, but the owner and staff were wonderful...catering for adults and the children - basic fare but delicious! Bring LOTS... More

I have been there many times, with many friends. Always the same great welcoming and service. Don't expect anything fancy! just laid back, having drinks and relax. The sea is great in front of the resort, only 1 point to really take care of: sandflies... DONT lay down on sand for 10min, you will be badly bitten...

We booked a good package deal at this resort (3 days 2 night including full range and sea transfers for 700 ringgits for 2). We had a warm welcome by a charming lady at the office of Mersing (by the jetty) where we were asked to prepay our stay. At 12:30pm, we jumped into a small boat with a few... More
