missingWrote a review on Nov 30beachside villaslow dining service
Our beachside villa was a dream come true—spacious, gorgeous views, and surrounded by the sounds of the jungle. Spotting monkeys and hornbills from our porch was unforgettable!
Despite the beauty, the beach had plastic waste, and the dining service was disappointingly slow. It was frustrating to pay high prices for meals that took too long to arrive.

Save your time
Choose another destination unless you enjoy steep hills, slow service, and overpriced dining. The beautiful scenery and wildlife can't compensate for the inconsistent staff and mediocre maintenance. Expensive drinks without much flavor, and a room that had issues with cleanliness dampened my experience. The staff’s lack of training only adds to the frustration.

amazing attractions within walking distance from the hotel
We loved our stay with excellent service and the best pool I've ever swam in, making it easy to explore nearby gems like Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park just over 2 km away and the stunning Coral Flyer Zipline less than 2 km from our villa.

I loved the overwhelming beauty of the natural surroundings—it's like being in a wildlife sanctuary 🌴. The staff were super friendly and welcoming too! Only downside was the steep paths to our villa, but totally worth it!

The beach cleanliness could be improved during monsoon season!!! Getting on and off the boat is a challenge during rough seas, so pay attention to the conditions before your transfer!!!

The staff was incredibly attentive , ensuring our bags were swiftly handled at the jetty. The spa treatment was so good , I’ve never felt more relaxed in my life!
It wasn’t budget-friendly , but considering the experience, it felt worthwhile.

Beautiful villa, friendly staff, made our stay memorable with their warm service and clean facilities, while the outdoor swimming pool and beach access added to our relaxation after a long journey from Kota Kinabalu International Airport.
Only the presence of sand flies was a bit bothersome.

Beautiful Resort with Great Activities
We enjoyed the morning canopy walk and yoga sessions, which were a refreshing way to start our days. The snorkeling experience was memorable, despite the beach needing more attention. Dining options lack consistency, so be mindful when ordering. Don't forget mosquito repellent!

The beachside villa offered immense comfort and privacy, surrounded by vibrant hibiscus plants and teeming with wildlife like monkeys and hornbills. The snorkeling experience was a vivid adventure, showcasing a healthy coral reef and colorful fish. Culinary delights included freshly baked cookies and a memorable traditional Malayan dinner at the Long Boat, although the pizza left much to be desired. The long walk back from our room uphill was challenging, especially in the heat, but the splendid views made it worthwhile.
