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!!

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!

It should not be considered 5 star hotel… did not even have coffee machine in the room, telephone in the room smelled SO bad, the room is very old and AC was dripping water. TV was in Chinese language setting which took staff to fix for an hour and doesn’t even have Netflix either. It rained two days during our stay and the only restaurant open was buffet style which we got charged even thought we could not get seated so we left. Very unfortunate

Good place to stay

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.

This was a very nice property with a great pool and comfortable rooms. My daughter loved the waterslide and had fun at the kids club. The discovery centre was a unique addition. The restaurant offerings were delicious but lacked a bit in terms of completing a meal (eg Indian food but no raita or chutneys, Malaysian coffee but no condensed milk). The pool area could have used more things like light sandwiches , nachos etc. attention to detail could be improved on (eg you ask on your online ordering how many guests are eating, but then never deliver the required cutlery). Overall we had a great time and I would recommend this stay to friends, however small improvements would take this from a 4 to 5 star stay.

Food was extraordinary. Sharon who made the morning sunrise hike at the reserve unbelievable perfect. Dora and Hassini at the spa are amazing!!! Best hands ever!!! Melvin who arranged amazing tours on the resort. Ms. Fiona the GM of the resort who was gracious and kind and a perfect example and reflection of the staff’s heart and soul. This is definitely a piece of heaven and I was blessed to be surrounded by such an incredible place. My stay could not have been more special and perfect.

One of the finest resorts I've been to while not being overly lux and reasonably priced. Helpful smiling staff. Amazing food quality and variety. Well appointed quiet rooms. Vacant beach! A huge nature reserve adjacent, worth exploring with trained guides on premises.
