HOTEL DESCRIPTION

Sea Gypsy Village Resort & Dive Base has been operated by the Wills family since mid 1992. The idea behind our Malaysian holiday accommodation on Pulau Sibu is simple; an island holiday resort where people can completely relax in harmony with nature for a Fair Price, considering we are not your average shack on the beach type accommodation (sounds nerdy but try it, more beneficial than an expensive spa!). A desert island hotel that preserves the local wood & atap Malay style chalets on stilts and offers a surprising level of service by dedicated staff. A beautiful safe, secluded, virtually private beach ideal for an old fashioned holiday.

Sea Gypsy Village is set in a 5 acre clearing of jungle with plenty of shade trees and garden. The beach is approximately 350 meters long and has soft golden sand which continues out into the sea making swimming both safe and comfortable.

ACCOMMODATION

Sea Gypsy's buildings are all traditional Malay style of wood & atap (roofing made of palm fond), on stilts with large over head fans for maximum air circulation. Each chalet is sea facing with a private verandah, none is more than 30 seconds from the beach. Our 16 regular chalets have a king sized bed frame with 2 single mattresses made up separately under one large mosquito net. We can put an extra bed or cot into the chalets, some of them can take a bunk bed. All extra beds & cots have mosquito nets.

The 6 purpose built family chalets have two bedrooms. One with a king sized bed for two adults, the other with 2 sets of built in bunk beds that can take up to 4 children, or 3 children and a maid. There is no connecting door between the bedrooms but both rooms connect to a large bathroom and a private verandah. The decor is simple but adequate and in harmony and keeping with the natural style and colours of the environment. As an eco resort we choose to have large overhead fans and 24 hour electricity rather than air conditioning. 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!

Every chalet has chairs & an outdoor light on their private sea view verandah, an overhead fan, bedside lamps, shelves, hanging space & hooks. Mosquito nets, linen, bath towels and beach towels are provided. Bathrooms are en suite with overhead shower, foot tap, sink and toilet. On request we provide booster steps for toddlers to reach sinks, baby baths & hooded baby towels, cots with mossy nets, bed guards and even soft cosy baby blankets.

We carry a large range of spirits and offer a huge assortment of cocktails (Bar Price List). We also offer an excellent selection of wine at very reasonable prices (Wine List). (So leave that cold box at home, it's not worth the bother and we charge corkage!) The bar is open as long as guests are still ordering drinks.

The Conference and TV Room
We have Astro TV available for watching all major sporting events live. The room is furnished with comfortable chairs and can easily be turned into a small conference room with table and chairs, white board, overhead projector and projector.

The Dive Base - Dan's Nasty Frogmen
The resort boasts a professionally run fully equipped dive base offering boat diving, snorkeling trips and excursions daily. Anyone who would like to "discover scuba" can experience a beach dive on our artificial house reef after a fun intro to scuba equipment & basic skills for only RM140. If you're bitten by the diving bug our instructor can then take you on a wonderful dive on the Sea Gypsy natural house reef with a max depth of 6 meters. Qualified divers are requested to show their dive cards so please remember to bring them.

The Boats
The resort operates two licensed 32 foot, twin 100 hp engine, 15 seat boats with canopies. Custom made life jackets made to Government safety standards in 6 sizes from baby to extra large are provided and must be worn by law. The crossing from Tanjong Leman to Pulau Sibu takes approximately 20 minutes. The boats are also used for dive and snorkeling trips. (Richard's 7 foot boat with a 3 hp engine for playing pirates, the Black Pig, is looking sad and lonely so I'm going to insist he gets it out on the next school hols and puts it back in the water!)
