My wife and I stayed for two nights and we extremely love the place. The resort is exactly like what is being pictured on their website. Secluded beach, pool-like clear water, good food, great staff and the list goes on. Snorkeling is by far the best thing to do at Bagus. We encountered a turtle and reef sharks on the first day itself. As Malaysians, we were a bit skeptical in the beginning. We didn't expect Bagus Place to be this bagus (Bagus is a Malay word for good) but in this case, we give Bagus Place an exception. The only thing that we are worried is the new development located a few hundred meters away from Bagus Place. They look like they are going to spoil the natural setting that Bagus Place has.

All in all, the two nights that we spent at Bagus Place were too short and for that we will definitely be coming back to Bagus Place in the near future!

Bagus Place was exactly what we had expected and hoped for from looking at their website and reading other reviews. A gorgeous tropical island setting, clear turquoise water, fabulous and accessible snorkelling, warm and friendly service, great locally sourced food in a low impact, low tech setting - a great place to get away from it all. We were there for 5 days and it felt much longer. We enjoyed the snorkelling at Ringis Island so much that we went twice!
Just a tip on the walk to the waterfall - a little more strenuous than we expected and a bit difficult to find the path in a couple of places. Once you reach the next resort and get to the phone tower make sure you go to the left of it to continue the walk. Take a small amount of cash for a cold drink or an ice block in the village.
We certainly hope to return some day.....

Idyllic location in a tropical paradise. Bagus Place Retreat has great views, excellent meals and limited accommodation (7 chalets) so is an ideal choice for a relaxing holiday. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

My husband and I stayed for three magical nights with our children 7,6 and 1. If you love nature and your children are happy playing in the sand, snorkelling, reading and playing board games then this is the place for your family. However, if you need a lot of activities to keep the kids happy then maybe try somewhere larger. This is a small, quiet place to connect with eachother and truly relax. I LOVED it. Thanks Bagus!
