Mantang Island : locations de vacances

Alvin is very personable and made us feel very home. The area was not touristy which was perfect and he showed us around to a great pizza/pasta place next door and a seafood restaurant too. He gave us great recommendations for the day and even invited us to a movie night with other people staying at tenrooms. Definitely the perfect place to stay.

I spent 3D2N here with a friend visiting from HK, and we had a most wonderful time. The location of the kelong is great - it sits at the edge of a cluster of kelongs yet maintains sufficient distance for privacy. The 360-degree sea view means you can catch both the sunrise and sunset on good days. We were lucky to enjoy one night of crisp, starry sky too. You can jump right off the platform to snorkel, the water is clear and there's plenty of fish. We got stung all over by jellyfish (that we couldn't see) though, so do bring protective gear to cover up. We booked a package with car transfers to/from Tanjung Pinang, all meals (cooked and prepped in the kelong's kitchen), and boat trips to 2 nearby islands included. Iwan and wife took good care of us - the calamari (fried with freshly-caught squid) and goreng pisang they made for snacking were especially yummy treats! Take note that some vertical climbing is required when getting up from the boat (or after snorkeling) during low tide.
