everything was so easy, didn’t even need to ask and any thing we wanted was there or sorted the same day such as ordering fresh lobster, island hopping, sea view huts, great food, the works. thought 12 days on a small island would get boring but nope. Not at Palambak. incredible place, incredible staff.

Absolute paradise. To stay on a 'private' island with only the 8 bungalows at Tailana is such a dream and amazing value for money. We ended up staying 7 nights. We got the 2hr speed boat both ways, which we managed to share with other guests (arranged on whatsapp). Average price was 1,600,000 for the two of us. We know other guests who did it with the public ferry and wooden boats. The room and bed were simple but comfy, good mosquito net. Because we extended our stay, we actually stayed in the newer A-Frame room as well as the older white-washed room, and while both were good, we actually preferred the older room as it was easier to stand in (the a-frame is a bit low on the sides of the bed obviously). The food was excellent, 3 delicious meals per day. They catered to vegetarian diet without a problem. Not many mosquitos which was surprising. We snorkelled everyday (you can rent equipment from their small dive shop on the island) and thought it was really beautiful. We saw a lot of coloured fish, some stingray, and one turtle. Definitely worth the big trip to get here, but we'd recommend staying at least 4 nights to make it worthwhile. The bathrooms are simple (European style, but non-flushing... which isn't a problem) The outdoor showers are great and offer enough privacy. Tip: I brought some beers with me and they let me keep them in the fridge :)

We travelled with our kids (1,5 and 3 years old at the time of travel). The location is great: on a remote island, nestled on the side naturally sheltered from the wind. During our stay (mid-February), there were a few strong night storms, but they were pleasant and caused absolutely no problems or damage. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom is nice, and the mosquito nets are wide, new, and without any holes. We loved the remote feel of the location. We typically spent our days at the resort or on the beach just around the corner - this beach ranks among the top three best beaches we have ever seen and is completely deserted. With palm trees on white sand and shallow water at around 30 degrees Celsius. We particularly enjoyed the dinners - we had fresh fish every evening (we mentioned our love for fish upon arrival). Deni went fishing every afternoon and prepared fresh fish each evening, along with really tasty vegetables. The owner, Deni, is very kind. He is a great cook and made our boat excursion truly memorable - we saw a manatee and many turtles. He arranged our transportation, promptly replied to all our messages, and truly deserves recognition for his outstanding hospitality.

Perfect island paradise with the most amazing and welcoming staff. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel at ease. Everything is paid for on card at the end of the stay which made it really easy. We stayed in a standard villa which was very comfortable with a huge futon. We had a perfect view of the sea for sunset. We did the island hopping and initially thought the price was 1,200,000 was per person however the price was per boat and as there were another 2 people we each paid 400,000 each which was excellent value for a full day of island hopping. We also rented a paddleboard for the day which was good fun.

It’s been more than a week since we came back, and I find it hard to start writing a review coz it feels like such a remote dream to me now. I miss the serene atmosphere there and the hospitality(but not excessive)of our hosts. The meals were amazing considering the variety of food ingredients were limited due to the nature of the island, so great thanks to our chef Aton. The crab hunting was such a fun experience. Yo was so agile and skillful in the jungle and the crabs could not have turned into a gourmet dinner without him. Regrading touring around the island, after breakfast will be an ideal time as the tides are relatively low. I would suggest (facing the bungalows) go clockwise so that you would have a little challenges crossing the falling tree trunks and boulders etc.,at first, but the trip gets easier and you would come across some fine sandy beaches when getting near to the bungalows from another side, where you will have the urges to jump into the sea for a swim or snorkeling. It’s a long way to get to the island, but Ira would give you all the info and help you need. Make sure to stay long enough to relax and enjoy some peaceful reading time before you head back to the bustling cities.
