this was our third visit to sea gypsy in the past year and our first in 2012. We noticed that all the chalets had had a lick of paint and the resort was lovely. It really is one of our favorite weekend destinatino from JB - a real get away from the city. The change to serving some meals at... More

Stay for a week during march school holiday (2 adults, a 14 yr old & a 11 yr old.. Service was good. Staffs were approachable & friendly. The beach is clean compared to the other resort on the other side of the island. Waves superb for body board. Totally good food, kudos to the cooks. No tv no problem. Few... More

We visited Sea Gypsy from Singapore for a weekend in February. While it was wet and overcast in Singapore we had perfect weather on Sibu. You might say the accomodation is basic, but for me the warm sea breeze and sounds of the waves on the beach and of geckos chirping is far preferrable to the drone of an aircon... More

Sea Gypsy was more than we could ask for! We were on a 3 week trip to Singapore to visit family and wanted to experience Malaysia and a beach vacation. Being it was mid-November we got a discounted rate and while there was heavy rain on the mainland, the weather on the island was perfect in every way. It was... More

The sea was rough on the day we arrived so we have to alight at Coconut Village on Pulau Sibu, follow by a 15 minutes jungle track to the other side of island, Sea Gypsy Village. The staff... More

We had a fabulous weekend here with friends. The location is absolutely spectacular - wide, soft, sandy beach, turquoise water, just beautiful. We had a family villa a few meters from the beach. Accommodation was basic but comfortable. No hot water or air con but beds were clean and soft - it all felt a bit like camping but with... More

We have stopped here twice recently (july and september 2011). Had a great stay both times, The pick ups from Tanjung Leman worked well and arriving on the dive boat, wading up the beach made it very exciting for our 2 boys (aged 6 and 9) - a real desert island. The accomodatio is in simple wooden huts set just... More

If you like an authentic resort experience and genuine hospitality, SGV is for you. If you like aircon, manicures, jet skis and the designer crowd, SGV is not for you. Simple. From an antipodean perspective it's ideal - it's a no nonsense, no frills, no worries property. There's nothing unnecessary (e.g. pool, hot showers, aircon, pedicures) but everything necessary (e.g.... More

Sea Gypsy has been there a long time. Its maintained to a very high standard. Went back there for a week in August after trying a few days in May. The plan was to do nothing but relax. There's diving and inter-island trip for the adventurous. The location is at the beach on an island off the coast looking East,... More
