Sunset Beach Resort: A real gem
We were very pleasantly surprised with this accommodation - more like a boutique B&B than a resort. We visited early November 2004. Our room was large, spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. There are about a dozen rooms on either side of a tropical planted path that leads to the breakfast room, palm trees, loungers above the white sand beach. There are outside showers (again tastefully presented) to wash off after swimming.
A bar and restaurants are adjacent to the resort but not noisy. You can buy beer at the grocery store for about US 1/bottle and sit on the loungers watching the sun go down over the horizon. A gorgeous view. The beach is about 1 mile long so good for walking. The water while not crystal clear is not dirty and there wasn't rubbish/trash to be seen in the water or on the beach.
The included breakfast was excellent; fresh fruit, juice, tea, coffee, eggs made to your liking, toast with jams.
In the room, there were a few gaps around the AC unit and windows so you may want to purchase a plug-in insect killer ( US 5 at the grocery store across the road). Our room (US 45 per night) had a small fridge, tea & coffee making facilities and tv in the room (Malay & Indian language channels). There was a separate bathroom and large walk in shower. The resort has a website and replies quickly to e-mail requests.
