My brother Husein and I had a wonderful time here. Chatty replied us very quickly and she is very responsible person and took care of us well. Everything we tried there was new for us: delicious food, friendly stuff, entertainment and beautiful nature. The stuff were always willing to help us and and we had a lot of fun with them. We spend there… read more

Juan helped us with some maintenance jobs and he was amazingly quick in his tasks. We had a van at the resort that looked like a wreck but he transformed it into a colorful transport for our maintenance staff! Great help!
Hoping for the best things to happen on your travels Juan! Hasta que nos encontremos de nuevo! :)

We had a great time staying here at the resort . We originally met up with Chatty (the friendly lady pretty much running the show) in town (a cool suburb in KL called Taman Desa where the city HQ is- with internet), she is often very busy but really awesome and onto it and is pretty much organizing everything- the volunteer program was her idea… read more and it is still in it's infancy so they are still working out a set plan- maybe you can help with that?

In town, we stayed at a hotel which wasn't amazing to be honest, but I think they are looking at making a volunteer room in the HQ itself (food here in town was cash allowance). After a week in town helping with marketing and online promo, we moved out to the resort for 3 weeks. It is 40-odd mins away from KL, so you probably won't go anywhere too far away from the resort whilst you are there- closest shops/town is about 10km away, easy bike ride to and from town. Awesome jungle trails for running and outdoor stuff to do there too.

At the resort, the accommodation is great, in a shipping container with aircon, and shower etc (no kitchen). The idea of the volunteer program is to help the resort in a way that you can, (and there are loads of things you could do) so there are no set guidelines each day, but it would probably be more beneficial to add things/ideas/activities to the resort (such as marketing ideas, as that is all that is needed, or help with event planning) as opposed to helping with daily maintenance/cleaning tasks (unless they actually need help) as they are pretty sorted for staff there. We made up some new games and team building activities, along with physically making some more signage and game equipment, might be cool to see if you can finish off the marketing and do some basic advertising in KL and online- or implement some of the games? Most of the staff are Malay and speak pretty ok English, but all are really good value and great people, we went to a few local Hari Raya events with them and had some local food. In your free time, head out fishing, hiking, chilling, reading or exploring- lots to see around the area, best to do it by bike.

Food at the resort is tasty as- a daily allowance from the chef's at the Thai Restaurant on site. We had our own easy breakfast of oats, but ate lunch and dinner there, was awesome. There is pretty much no internet out there though (only a data stick that some of the office staff use), we had a sim card however, so used that for data- but it is pretty slow- no worries though.
Definitely head out to the resort, and stay a while, so you get to know the staff and everyone, and try and get your ideas/help taken on board- sometimes there are a lot of good ideas floating around but not enough action!!! ;).

Thanks for the stay guys, we really enjoyed it! Good luck Chatty- wish we could have been there to help and do it- would've been so fun haha!! Cheers, Jonny and Georgie

My girlfriend and I stayed here for about two months and are planning to return after taking a month detour to Thailand. We wrote a request, and got a quick reply from Chatty, friendly marketing manager. She offered to let us stay in one of thier container rooms in exchange for our work as marketers (I write SEO text; my girlfriend is a… read more
