"The resort is nestled in a quiet part of Sabah far away from city noise. It’s an idyllic place to be whether you’re there with family like us or if you want to go there for a couple’s getaway. The beach is really nice where you can have fun water sport activities. The staff are great and will always find a way to keep your holidays stress free and memorable. A few notes for the management. The building is showing a bit of age. I’d recommend the hotel to update the doors, wooden furniture and...

There are activities to do each day if you want a bit of action and the equipment is all available. The timing of the scheduled activities can be a bit hit and miss but they make them available if you want them. Poolside is very relaxing. The spa treatments are wonderful with Amy but make sure you try and book them in advance. Lovely breakfasts and menu in general. A great...

"We were a group of nature lovers who were using this as a three night stay to get used to the temperature and time change upon arrival in Borneo. Loved the grounds and snorkeling right from the beach. Fantastic nature center staffed by several biologists. The food options were a bit pricey but we were expecting that. The grounds were very birdy and we found two Borean Pit Vipers. The mangrove tour was fantastic. Room is very good quality for the price."
