My girlfriend and I stayed here several days to rest after the rainforest treks. This residence was a pleasant discovery and a rare little gem in the world of hospitality. All nicely decorated, with a large bathroom, hot water (not at all obvious in Borneo) and a comfortable queen bed! The rooms have always been perfectly cleaned and the courtesy kits for guests always stocked with all kinds of very useful things with supplies even outside the room (often not even given in luxury hotels). The staff has always been friendly, really helpful and ready to welcome you at any time or in case of need. Best of all and super recommended! Five stars because more is not possible! ;)

    An amazing location - wonderful views over the bay from our very nice room. We loved seeing the monkeys, hornbills, monitor lizards and geckos. The staff were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed spending time at the simple private beach a short boat ride away. Make sure you arrive at Jesselton Point at least an hour before your speedboat leaves as they check you in there and it can take ages. Evening dining is either a fish restaurant, a Japanese restaurant or a bewilderingly large buffet.

    The staff are exceptional. The variety of food is amazing. Facilities were in good condition and easily accessible. I expected we may be able to hike a few trails on the island but this was not possible. It surprised me for such a relaxed place that you needed more formal attire (trousers, closed shoes and collared shirt for) for one of the restaurants. We weren’t prepared for that. Sunset cruise was brief but great

    - The hotel and its surroundings were really beautiful and clearly very well cared for by the staff. The staff were really knowledgeable about the wildlife in the area - Snorkelling just off the beach and seeing so many fish was really cool, could pop to and from the pool to snorkel when needed - The hotel staff were all so friendly and really helpful throughout the whole trip - The satay and the local breakfast options were really well done and the food in general was to a high quality

    Very friendly staff. They fullfilled every single wish, always helpful and smiling. They offer a great snorkeling trip to Sulug Island. There are many spa treatments available. The pool is amazing, very clean. There is only one restaurant and every dish we had was delicious and looked absolutely beautiful. A wide variety of dishes is available also for breakfast. Water and clean towels are delivered to the room daily.

    It's like reaching Fantasy Island. Suprt friendly staff awaits you on attival. The big luxurious villas are laid out against the lush green backdrop. With the strip of beach beds along the waterfront, the broad shallow sea entrance and diverse reef, housing numerous fish, it's an ideal place to wind down. Various restaurants offer a multitude of food opportunities.
