Travel-Lodge: Palau Sibu - Sibu Island Resort

Booked a family trip to Sibu Island during dec 2014. It's seems to be a very wrong choice due to the monsoon season, the rain and strong wind had created another stress to us - how to kill the boringness as due to strong wind and rain, all sea sports were cancelled, all we can do is eat and sleep in the room. It can a lovely place to visit when it is not in monsoon season.

Friends and colleagues were asking me where am i going for my family trip, when i told them "Sibu Island" almost all of them thought is "Cebu Island" which is in Phillipines, until i told them that its actually "Palau Sibu" in Malaysia....hahaha…

I booked through http://sibuislandresort.com.my for a 3D2N includes meals package. It about 3 hrs drive from SG to the ferry jetty and a 30 minutes journey by boat from Tanjung Leman jetty.

We booked the afternoon ferry 4pm as we don't want to rush and after will have jam at the custom. Hus suggested that we leave at about 9.30am after breakfast, have lunch and do some grocery shopping in malaysia for the 3D2N on an island.

Janelle can't wait to go

We crossed the custom without Jam and we have plenty of time, so hus decided to pop over to desaru 

Here's the Tanjung Leman jetty and was where we parked our car there for 2 nights. The jetty is a private area there are security guard at the entry. of course, need to pay RM8 per night.

Checked in counter over the jetty for the ferry tickets. We paid RM70 for per adult and RM40 for Janelle

Then more payment need to be done for the park

Boarding on the ferry to Sibu Island

The wind was so strong and it was raining, daddy took janelle blanket and wrapped her up  

She is so excited together with her daddy and both was there singing "row row row the boat" while mummy and kaka was there feeling nausea 

Finally after 30min, we reached

This was our home for 3days..

and there are deers just at our door steps

And their mini zoo, janelle was so happy chasing after the peacock, chickens (smaller animals)

But scare of deers and insist me to carry her and refused to come down or feed the deers

They do have very nice beach but too bad the wind is too strong that we didn't managed to have a chance to pop in

There was an Royal Suite

We wanted to go for a swim, but seriously.. it's too cold, we popped in and out, that's it.

This is how strong the wind was (look at the coconut trees)

All these days, we survived with a snow flakes 18inch TV with Singapore ch8 and ch5. I feel that the hotel and rooms are old and poorly maintained, it's kind of dirty. The cleaning aunty only came and pack the bed and throw rubbish.. We did our own cleaning in our room. 

At the end of 3 days,

Hus: Sweetie, thank you for bringing the family to "eat wind" (in hokkien, which means holiday) and he opened his mouth for the wind...
