It's 40USD/42SGD one way for 2 pax. I highly recommend this option if you want to avoid the confusion of public boats – the queues were long on both sides. Email beforehand to arrange the boats.
As mentioned in other reviews we walked for 10 mins from the beach club to the room, which is a nice walk near the beach. The room was quiet and clean. Service was great. Our room was near the entrance, right in front of the pool so it felt like a private pool. Room service was food from the beach club, delivered quickly and tasted good, no service or extra charges at all (salmon with cream cheese, and fries SGD6.50). There was a TV and DVD player to keep us entertained at night.
Room cleaned daily and free bottles of water replenished twice daily. All the staff were extremely friendly and pleasant. Wifi was reliable, so we could do some work for one or two hours everyday. Safe was working for valuables – can fit a macbook air. Hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner, and soap provided – open air shower was great. Loved the "warung"/local food along the main stretch near the beach club (SGD2.50 for Nasi Goreng with chicken and egg), as well as Classico at night for delicious homemade italian pizza (SGD 7-15). Good coffee near the warungs at "Coffee & Thyme" all within walking distance of Scallywags.
Electricity went off a few times at night, for two nights, but it came back on 0.5 to 1 min later. Option to pay via Mastercard or Visa during checkout was good, but we paid everything in cash. Minibar/fridge was well-stocked and reasonably priced.
Overall a really great place, value for money for a slightly more luxurious stay on a truly beautiful island.
