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.

Nothing but love for this place! Tailana is truly paradise. Accommodation is basic, but offers all you need (and more actually). There’s even wifi at the restaurant - didn’t expect that. They offered beers. And a diving centre just opened! So many great spots for diving, and beautiful snorkelling right in front of your bungalow. I recommend booking the triangle bungalow, because they are newly renovated and have amazing ocean view. Tailana is our highlight of Sumatra, we wish we never left…

Kimo Resort is a true paradise island with coconut trees all around, golden beaches and crystal clear water. The bungalows ( superior ) are wonderfully placed on the sea front just meters from the water and next to the lovely bar and restaurant area. Snorkeling around the coral reef just off the beach was magical. We do hope that Willy the owner of this resort manages to continue to look after the reef. Bungalows were spacious and well designed for two adults with a comfortable bed and a simple, but beautifully designed bathroom.The restaurant served simple but very tasty food including bbq fish and vegetables. Riska and her team of staff were so welcoming and friendly and time and again went out of their way to make us feel at home. We stayed for 6 days and loved it. This really is a little piece of paradise.

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.
