Peter and Sylvia are two of the loveliest hosts! Turtle valley is by far the best resort on the island - the rooms are basic but comfortable and clean. Sylvia's cooking is exceptional and she will do a small portion of anything for a child and charges accordingly. It is true that you are cut off from the rest of... More

The island in general offers nothing spectacular. While the sandy beaches and crystal clear waters are remarkable despite it's littered with broken dead corals, there is hardly nothing to do here. While it's great, food in general is poor and this place has one of the more expensive choices which doesn't stretch the money. Beer is scarce. RM 12 per... More

Although the hotel and rooms are really nice, service and prices were very disapointing. When we arrived we were struggling with our bags up the stairs, and Peter just kept laughing at us... Very unprofessional. Then he listed all the rules you have to obey, don't put your feet directly in the bowl with water, but use the ladle because... More

I was reading through the several reviews and could not understand some of the negative responses I was reading there. We simply love this place and have just booked a visit for the third year in a row. Visiting Kapas Turtle Valley simply makes us relax. Yes, there is not much to do on the Island, yes it is isolated,... More

Believe the other reviews - we didn't stay there but went for a walk around the island and visited Turtle Valley. It can only be accessed either by boat or by hiking up and over very steep and dangerous steps - you will be cut off if you stay here and you will regret making this your choice! We were... More

Can't say I didn't like the place: had the family chalet over the restaurant. The chalets are confortable but a bit dark. Our hosts were friendly: can't blame Sylvia who basically had to run the place on her own... Sylvia is a GREAT cook, no doubt about that... the only problem being you basically HAVE TO have your dinner there... More

We spend 4 night at this place, looking for calm and rest. First thing the men did was to dump our bag in the water. No apologies. Then the rules were specified(clean your feet, tell us where you eat...). Then no service at all. The kitchen was not clean with cats jumping all over the place at all time. The... More
