Palambak Paradise Resort Pulau Banyak

Es ist wirklich traumhaft auf der Insel, ein echtes Paradies! Deni ist nett und sehr hilfsbereit, man merkt, dass ihm das Wohlergehen seiner Gäste am Herzen liegt. Ich fand es außerdem sehr schön, dass Abends alle in familiärer Atmosphäre zusammen gegessen haben. Was das Essen angeht war Deni sehr entgegenkommend und hat mir auch vegetarische Optionen geboten, da ich keinen Fisch esse. Für Menschen, die Fisch mögen, war das Angebot sowieso super. Es gibt jeden Tag frischgefangenen Fisch…Die Hütten liegen direkt am Strand, sodass man einen grandiosen Blick hat. Es war alles sehr einfach aber ausreichend. Deni bietet außerdem tolle Schnorcheltouren an! Es lohnt sich wirklich den weiten Weg auf sich zu nehmen!

Hocker oder ähnliches auf der Veranda wären toll gewesen, da in der Hängematte immer nur eine*r liegen kann. Unbedingt ausreichend Mückenschutz mitnehmen, es gibt viele Moskitos.

Fantastische plek!

Le personnel était trés gentil et nous a beaucoup aider!

La disponibilité et l’expérience de Denis pour nous organiser de très beaux snorkelling, les bungalow sur la plage, la vue paradisiaque depuis les bungalow, la gentillesse de Romi, les poissons frais pêchés du jour et cuisinés le soir, la cuisine locale et familiale et une recette en particulier : la seiche au curry jaune et la seiche frite. Un régal!

La spiaggia e il mare

Avevo letto diverse recensioni ma avevo pensato si trattasse di persone particolarmente critiche. Purtroppo devo confermare quanto è stato scritto. Gestore che non fa nulla per farti sentire a tuo agio e che si dimostra gentile solo se ha un proprio tornaconto economico. In compenso i ragazzi che lavorano lì sono veramente deliziosi. Cibo monotono (senza possibilità di scelta) e non particolarmente abbondante. Solo dopo aver pagato da dormire ti viene comunicato che si è obbligati a pagare 200.000 rp al giorno (cifra a parer mio troppo alta per ciò che viene offerto). Spiaggia con sandflies e topi che passeggiano sul tetto della palafitta.

A really enjoyed staying Here, it was what I wanted. Danny ,the owner, is very friendly and always happy to do anything extra for the guest. Really nice built bunglalows with a private bathroom, which you don't get in the other resort ,, good food, lots of fresh fish.They dont have any activities priorgsnised but they can organize it for you, it would be bit pricey as all trips around the here are. Yeah you might see a rat  but it's not like they're running around, actually I only saw one after 5 days staying here. Considering the price it's really the best deal on the Island  Descover paradise at the Palambak Paradise Resort

It was an authentic natural island environment, with a beach and jungle, and the sound of the crashing wave. You walk around the island in 3 hours+, in saltwater and climbing over coconut tree stumps. Although simple, the bungalow was well made and functional, with mosquito net, bathroom and verandah. The dining hall was spacious, and the cat was friendly. Nelson the fisherman and helping hand was good, and would catch fresh fish everyday, play the guitar, but was a chain smoker... The grilled fish or curry fish was excellent, prepared by Deni.

A formula of 3 meals per day was imposed from the beginning, no 'a la carte' menu available... Breakfast was either omelette or pancake, lunch was either 'nasi goreng' or 'mie goreng', dinner was fine but repetitive with fish, rice, vegetables and watermelon for dessert. Deni, the owner, was rather money-minded, expecting you to take the 3 meals/day, not happy if you had dinner only on day one or breakfast only on the last day... He became pushy, aggressive, abusive with language, and in the end, gave me a bad feeling... He wants you to accept his terms.
