HOTEL FACILITIES AND AMENITIES
The Dining Room
The daily rate is on a full board basis, i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner. (The Resort does not offer half board or bed and breakfast.) The cuisine varies daily between Malay, Indonesian, Chinese and Western style. The Bar-B-Q on a Saturday night is an event not to be missed! Our buffet breakfast consists of juice, eggs, sausage, beans, fried toms, Roti Canai, Nasi Lamak, waffle pancakes, toast, juice, free pour tea & coffee plus the usual butter, jam, marmalade, peanut butter (crunchy or smooth), and Marmite. We 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 we make sure the meals are balanced and accompanied by veggies or salad. Parents that prefer to have their children join them for dinner at 8 p.m. and can just inform us at lunchtime, however this meal tends to be spicy. Dinner is usually a Malay dish served with rice and stir fried vegetables, followed by fresh fruit. We cater for vegetarians and those with special diets, all guests are asked about diet when booking. We offer an all day a la carte menu that includes great snacks for people with the munchies!
A la carte afternoon tea is now served from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. most days with fresh baked scones or muffins.
Baby food can be cooked fresh, .e.g. porridge, dippy egg & soldiers, fresh veg mashed with cheese, finely chopped chicken breast & rice, mashed banana, etc. Simply inform the restaurnant/kitchen staff what you would like and at what time. We only stock UHT milk, you are welcome to bring some fresh milk and store it in the fridge. We are happy to wash and steralise bottles for you. Bring a thermos to take hot water to your room for making or early morning bottles if you like.
The Bar - Dan's Dive
Sea Gypsy Village is a fully licensed resort and the Dan's Dive offers a view which is both breathtaking and relaxing. You can enjoy the moonrise as you slowly sip your cocktail and unwind! We carry a large range of spirits and offer a huge assortment of cocktails . We also offer an excellent selection of wine at very reasonable prices . (So leave that cold box at home, it's not worth the bother and we charge corkage!) The bar is open as long as any guests would like to drink.
The Conference and TV Room
We have Astro TV available for watching all major sporting events live. The room is furnished with comfortable hairs and can easily be turned into a small conference room with table and chairs, white board, overhead projector and projector.
The Shop
There is a small shop in the bar which sells a selection of toiletries, various sun-lotions and potions, postcards, films, cameras and batteries. It also carries a large selection of crisps, Pringles, nuts, biscuits, chocolate, sweets and even raisins, so once again don't bother to carry all that extra luggage. (As a bonus it prevents little 'jungley creatures' enjoying snacks you may have in your room!) The Bar Shop also sells ice cream. The big shop at Linda's house sells T shirts, polo shirts, singlets, caps, sarongs and various swimming aides and beach equipment.
