Location right on the beach was amazing. Pool was very big and water was cold which was great. Rooms are spacious and lovely. The bath is huge!! Staff are very friendly.
Emilie “Amazing!”
23 Apr 2025
The staff are just incredibly helpful and kind! The chef even came to our table and as he noticed we were a big group (I was travelling with my family total of 9) he proposed to make something special for us!! I also requested to have a room closer to the main building as my mom has difficulty walking, they were very accomodating and changed the room for her.

Beautiful view from our villa overlooking the ocean. The villa was also very nice.

Such an incredible location - stunning jungle behind and beautiful clear waters in front. Rooms were extremely spacious and comfortable (minor issue was some power points not working) Main restaurant was excellent - great breakfast and buffet dinner with a huge selection and staff there were super friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make sure everyone had exactly what they wanted. My boy enjoyed roti for breakfast one day and the next it wasn’t in the buffet but when he asked for it they cooked it specially for him. Staff were all very attentive and friendly and the grounds were very well maintained. Children were welcomed and even played football on the grass with my boy. There was snorkelling equipment as well as canoes and paddle boards. The coral wasn’t the best but there were some lovely fish to see. There are flying red squirrel nesting boxes and we got to see the squirrels on two occasions. Also lots of lovely bird life including lots of hornbills. Watch out for the macaques though - they are ready to steel your pizza! We loved our stay and the good far outweighed the negative but here are a few minor things that took it from a 10 to a 9: 1.The boat transfer is overpriced and the only way to get to the resort. 2. Once you are in you are in! There is nowhere accessible from the resort that isn’t part of the resort. 3. Food is excellent but not cheap and there are no outside alternatives. 4. We were a bit upset that fogging was carried out without any warning and me and my kids were caught in the fog - unpleasant, especially as we were told that this was an eco resort.

Staff super friendly, exceeded my expectations, everything was great
Nick “Nice resort for a couple of days toward end of Borneo holiday.”

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)”

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.
