Visitors' Reviews/Comments
Jeremy Horne (July 2019)
Unfortunately Telaga no longer has full CIQ facilities, only Immigration, for customs you must go to the airport and for Harbourmaster you must go to Kuah. This is very disappointing. The marina is looking rather sad and most of the shops and restaurants have closed. There is no laundry and no working internet.
