Our stay was perfect: the staff were all so friendly and helpful, the grounds of the hotel are beautifully maintained and extremely spacious and the large selection of food and different types of restaurants was very impressive. The private beach is west facing so you get to experience amazing sunsets and the hotel kindly upgraded up to a lovely room with a great view of the beach. This hotel will always be very special to us as we got engaged on this trip and couldn’t have asked for a better setting or a more memorable trip!

Beautiful beach and swimming pools. Location is a little remote, excellent for getting away from the city, but a bit too far for going into Kota Kinabalu regularly. Service was good. Prices were decent. The resort needs a bit of updating - the showerhead was leaking, and cleaning the bird poo from the beach bar tables and chairs.

It is an amazing resort with great service and wonderful activities for children. Lorena checked us in and was a superb host for us at the start. Alif was very friendly, and even the ranger gave our daughter a lovely evening tour of the glow in the dark mushrooms. Nothing was too much for them.

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 carpets in particular as they are showing signs of wear. The hotel particularly needs to clean the beach all the way across and not just in the front of the hotel. We had to turn back from our walk after a few minutes as it appeared that nobody was cleaning the beach to the right of the property.

We were a group of women celebrating our 40th birthday’s. From the moment we arrived, the staff for so kind and welcoming. The resort is beautifully located. The pool was amazing and the food and drinks were superb. We tried a bit of everything- from hiking the reserve, SUP pool yoga, beach volleyball, karaoke, waterslides, the day spa…we decided to upgrade our rooms for the last couple days and made use of the Ocean View Rooms which have a bath on the balcony. We met Fiona the General Manager and she ensured the staff went above and beyond for us and organised a special dinner and breakfast. I honestly couldn’t fault anything and I keep telling everyone how much we loved every second. I cannot wait to go back. Thank you again for everything!!
