Pulau Sibu - Sea Gypsy Village Resort

 

| Pulau Sibu Packages & accommodation ...

5 acres of island land lined with 350metres of clean, soft, golden sandy beach and gentle waves lapping the shores, wouldn't it be just the idealistic dream to horde that all to oneself? The Wills family thought otherwise. Sharing Eden with others is simply not an option..it's a mission.

 

With that dream came 22 Malay style wooden chalets on stilts with a view of the sea and each with its private verandah for a night of star gazing or an afternoon laze without disturbances. Not to make paradise a chore, creature comforts such as bathrooms en suite, large overhead fans (no air-conditioning) and 24 hour electricity was added on . The cool evening breeze makes up for the lack of airconditioning. After all, a break from the daily drying effects of air-conditioning in the office, in the car, at home...can do wonders for the skin and being on a beautiful island should really mean being at one with its surroundings. As Linda, the owner of Sea Gypsy puts it, ' There is absolutely nothing nicer than going to sleep with the windows open listening to the sound of the ocean and the rustle of the palm trees. That's what an island holiday is all about! '

 

A mother of two very impressionable children, Linda fully understands the holiday needs for parents as well as children. With that in mind, Sea Gypsy offers 3 days or 5 days summer camps for kids of 8years and older. Also a kid's club is open daily from 9.30am to 12.30pm purely to entertain children with games and activities for 3 hours in the day. At RM75 per child per session in exchange for some peace and quiet, it's well worth it.

For adults, most prefer to hang out at Dan's Dive, an oasis where the bar never closes. An extensive selection of labels with a reasonable price list too.., wine from RM49 per bottle, beer at RM8.50 and of course a cocktail or two to start the night off. Stay as long as you like, no last orders, no grouchy bartenders, just lots of fun.

When it comes to meals, there's a variety for everyone. The cuisine varies daily between Malay, Indonesian, Chinese and Western style. There is a set breakfast of juice, eggs, toast, butter, jam, marmalade, Marmite, peanut butter (crunchy or smooth) and as much tea or coffee as you wish.

There is also a breakfast menu which offers such delicacies as pancakes with honey or beans on toast. They serve light lunches, not too spicy for children's palates, followed by fresh fruit. Children's evening meals are served at 6 p.m. and lean towards hamburgers, hot dogs, spaghetti, fried rice and chips with everything! However they make sure the meals are balanced and accompanied by veggies or salad. Dinner is usually a Malay dish served with rice and stir fried vegetables, followed by fresh fruit. Saturday night is Bar-B-Q night, not to be missed. (menu provided by sea gypsy)

Sea Gypsy is no ordinary resort. It's a place where guests can totally relax, melt into the environment. There are a million and one choices - just pick one and the regret will be that you didn't pick the other million. There's always the next time and the next and the next. Those who have tasted Sibu will always have the yearning to return.. for a million and one reasons.
