The room was spacious, comfortable and the floor I was on had wonderful views over the water towards the islands and sunset. The staff were so helpful in arranging a local trip for me and allowing me to stay a bit longer when I had a late flight.

Everything was wonderful. Loved the lounge access - a definite bonus. Everything was outstanding - however the super friendly and helpful staff really made my stay that much better! Great gym. My first trip to KK, loved every second.

The staff is amazing - nothing was too much trouble and they were all really friendly. Special mention to chef Oliver, Connie, Jumiati and the rest of the staff in Café Tatu; Norman and the staff in the Horizon Lounge (top, top breakfast). It seems a little unfair to pick those out as every single staff member we encountered was exemplary at every level but we had the most interaction with them. Very well done to everyone. We will definitely be back!!

This is the most amazing place! We almost didn’t go because of the reviews but so glad we went (other guest we spoke to also thought they were crazy!) The staff are the kindest, the food is amazing ( especially if you like Malaysian food) and the rooms with the views are gorgeous. It’s paradise. There’s a lot of trash in the waters around Gaya but the beach is getting cleaned everyday and the fact that the Hotel have Justin and his team of biologists restoring the corals, regrowing the mangroves and taking care of injured turtles really warmed our hearts. Hopefully more resorts will follow suit. If you’re elderly it’s difficult to walk up to the higher houses so maybe ask for a lower chalet before booking (for us it was fine) We had activities every day and if they were fully booked from the hotel Lamb in the reception organized to get us on other tours. We loved this place so much we extended our stay and still wished we had more days.
