Anna Stoermer Thorso “All superb”
08 Apr 2025
Staff super friendly, exceeded my expectations, everything was great
Nick “Nice resort for a couple of days toward end of Borneo holiday.”
04 Apr 2025
Hotel staff and wildlife guides were really very nice and worked incredibly hard to make guests happy. Food was varied and good. Range of activities for older kids to do, enough to occupy 3 or 4 days. Rooms were clean and well looked after. All the facilities worked. It's a good choice for a couple of days toward the end of your holiday in Borneo, as it is a nice resort close to KK airport.
Carmen “Relaxing and comfortable beach resort (but food is not cheap)”
03 Apr 2025
We liked the Japanese style design of the public areas and rooms. We stayed at a Kinabalu villa which was large and very nice. Room was very clean (apart from some marks on the headboard. Lovely bathroom with 2 sinks, large shower and bath. Large walk-in wardrobe with enough bench space for 2 suitcases. From our balcony really nice sea view of the island bay, Kota Kinabalu outskirts and Mount Kinabalu when it's clear. There were about 50 steps up to our villa, not much fun in the midday heat but manageable for us. The pool was nice and long, good for swimming proper lengths, and not too busy. Lots of available sun loungers (I think hotel was about half full) by the pool and "beach" strip near the water. The sun loungers were every comfortable. The beach area was cleaned regularly and I didn't see any plastic waste near the hotel. Wi-fi worked very well in room and public areas. Buffet breakfast and dinner had lots of choices and the food was mostly good quality and tasty. We were impressed with the food choices, which were different on all 3 evenings we were there. We had lunch at the pool bar and loved the BBQ satay chicken sticks. The staff were very hardworking and friendly, the enthusiastic chef at the egg station was always happy to chat. The only activity we did was the Coral Garden snorkeling tour, which was good even if the water visibility wasn't perfect. You could also see a good variety fish near around the boat pier. We really enjoyed our stay, it's only a short boat ride from busy Kota Kinabalu, but it feels remote and relaxing.

Great location, friendly staff & great activities!!
Albert H “Perfect!”
25 Feb 2025
Amazing resort at a really affordable price. Having a resort, in the middle of nowhere, facing a private beach but enjoining 4 different restaurants/menus, 10-15 different activities and a Spa is priceless. We did activities like kayaking in the mangrove, snorkeling in a different island, massage in the spa, Omakase dinner, fine dinning... everything was great! Staff is amazing, always willing to help and making things easy!
