Bubbles, Parinthian Islands

We didn't think anywhere would come close to the beaches we experienced in Fiji last year during our honeymoon but the Parinthian Islands come very close.
We stayed at Bubbles for a couple of days and nights. Bubbles is pretty much the last resort on the big Parinthian island and has a bay all of it's own, with crystal clear waters and a cute little beach.
The beach and bay are also used by the many turtles who lay their eggs here and I was lucky enough to see one whilst snorkelling along with a stingray and many different colours and types of fish. The water is crystal clear here and very clean. Bubbles has a popular dive school here.
Tennille and I found ourselves alone on the beach for much of both days although all the chalets were taken - it's not the biggest of resorts here so you do get lots of peace and quiet.
In saying that the staff are excellent; extremely friendly and the food is very good at a very reasonable price.
As we make our way around Malaysia we are just loving the variety of experiences although one thing is constant; the friendliness and openness of the Malaysian people is a real treat and something we will not take for granted.
