7.0 out of 10, Good, (2 reviews)
"Advertising states deluxe room with garden view. A huge hole in the ground apparently was going to be a pool that never happened. Nowhere to sit in the room except for worn and dangerous swing chairs on the balcony. Dangerous access to the beach and for kids and older adults not accessible. Says private beach. More than half the items on the all day menu unavailable all day. For the high price I cannot recommend anything about the property or encourage anyone to stay "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Bira?
The best area to stay in Bira is along Bara Beach or in the main Bira Beach area, depending on your preference for seclusion or convenience.

Bara Beach offers a more secluded and tranquil experience. It's a pristine stretch of white sand, accessible via a short, unpaved road from Bira Beach. Accommodation here typically consists of private bungalows and resorts located directly on the beachfront or just a few steps away. This area is superb for couples seeking a romantic getaway, as it provides a quiet setting with stunning ocean views and opportunities for relaxed sunbathing and swimming.

For those who prefer more options for dining and easier access to local amenities, the main Bira Beach area is a better fit. This area is more developed than Bara Beach, with a greater selection of guesthouses, restaurants, and dive shops lining the main road and beachfront. It's also where you'll find the jetty for boat trips to nearby islands.
When is the best time to go to Bira?
The best time to go to Bira is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

During these months, you'll experience sunny days and calm seas, which are ideal for enjoying the beaches and water activities. The weather is consistently pleasant, making it superb for relaxing on Tanjung Bira Beach or exploring the nearby islands.

For those keen on diving or snorkelling, the dry season offers the best underwater visibility. The clear waters allow for excellent views of the coral reefs and marine life around popular spots like Liukang Loe Island. This period is particularly good for couples looking for a romantic escape with plenty of opportunities for swimming and sunbathing.
