| Sibu
Island |
| |
 |
| The
Resort is set in a 5 acre clearing of jungle with plenty of shade
trees and garden. The beach is approx. 350 metres long and has soft
golden sand which continues out into the sea making swimming both
safe and comfortable. |
| |
| |
|
| There
are 22 Malay style wooden chalets on stilts with bathrooms en
suite. Each is sea facing and has its own private verandah.
Six of the chalets are purpose built for family bookings (6
people), i.e. adjoining rooms with a double bed one side and
2 bunk beds the other side, one bathroom on the back and one
verandah on the front. Five of the chalets can accommodate 2
extra beds, nine can accommodate 1 extra bed. The other two
are doubles. The decor is simple but adequate and in harmony
and keeping with the natural style and colours of the environment.
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! |

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. So 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 (RM24 ea),
an excellent selection of wine at very reasonable prices (from RM49
per bottle) and beer (RM8.50). (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
Dive Base - Dan's Nasty Frogmen |
| The
resort boasts a professionally run fully equipped dive base offering
snorkeling trips and scuba diving trips daily. Anyone who would like
to "try scuba" can experience a dive in the ocean by completing an
introductory dive for only RM140. Qualified divers are requested to
show their dive cards so please remember to bring them. We also teach
children to dive from the age of 8 years with our Scuba Rangers programme.

| The
Boats |
| We
operate a 32 foot, twin 85 hp engine, 15 seat boat and a 24 foot,
single 85 hp engine, 8 seat boat both with canopy. Life jackets are
provided. The crossing from Tanjong Leman to Pulau Sibu takes approximately
15 minutes. The boats are also used for dive and snorkeling trips.
(Richard says I must tell everyone that he has a 7 foot boat with
a 3 hp engine for playing pirates!) |
