Hi there..have you ever heard about Telok Melano? it located far away from the city, the westest part in Sarawak which ever known as Tanjung Datu..Tanjung Datu is one of the national park in Sarawak..this place looks good but it is empty most of the time..i don't know why..for the very reason it is not crowded the services should be good..but what I heard from foreign and local visitors is the services are really bad..the staffs up there are slow and inexperience from answering the phone to serving a meal..the management seems under no pressure to perform too as it seem like they don't really need the business..they rather be left alone than having visitors..it does not look like a real business to me that needs to show a profit..if they were operating a real business they should taken care of the transpotation issues long ago...i think it is a quasi government operation that operate with tax payer's money .. or some kind of money laundering scheme by rich politician/investor..they are selling residential land up there too...i do promote our best destination with the beuty of nature, but sometimes i have to tell the truth about the promoted destination..it's such a waste because Sarawak already have the nature beauty, but the manangement didn't take the advantages in order to attract the visitors..
Ok back to my post topic, Teluk Melano is an isolated Malay village next to the Tanjung Datu national park which can only reached by boat from Sematan..the are no roads available there although people are using motorcycle over there..it is relatively small, consisting of a number of Malay style houses, some of them on stilts..when you reach there, you can see the coconut palm is everywhere..it create a lovely scenery at the beach...the beach of Teluk Melano is nice, but is of yellow sand, not white coral sand...near Teluk Melano there are a number of other small beaches..from Teluk Melano it is possible to walk to the Tanjung Datu NP (3.7km, takes approx. 1 1/2 hours)..it is the best destination for jungle tracking and mount climbing from Telok Melano to Sematan..
