Anniversary getaway”

The last 30+ years we have travelled extensively in Sabah from local kampung, jungle trekking to climbing the mountain more than once. For our anniversary this year we decided to get out of our comfort zone and book a 3D2N stay on Bunga Raya Island Resort. From the moment we checked-in at Jesselton Point to our personal send-off 3 days later, our stay has been truly amazing. The villas on the island are very spacious with large balconies, tastefully decorated, very clean and with all the modern comforts you wouldn’t expect on a jungle island. Very impressive! On top of that you can enjoy the island’s flora and fauna from close by, such as colorful Bunga Raya flowers, mischievous macaque monkeys, hornbills, lizards (small and large), butterflies, … In the early post-covid era only 1 of the 2 restaurants on-site was open. It served a variety of delicious food and drinks. Prices are, compared to the mainland a bit expensive, but converted to euro most reasonable. However, the one thing that made our stay memorable is the staff. They are ALL incredibly friendly, professional and helpful. Whether it's cleaning the beach, working in the restaurant, 24/7 reception, housekeeping or driving the buggies around, they are always smiling and making one’s stay most enjoyable. They truly represent Malaysian Hospitality. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay.

From buffalos to monkeys, monitor lizards to hornbills all were absolutely amazing. The service crew from housekeeping to the Resort manager were very attentive and accommodating. A perfect place to get away from the bustling city. A perfect place to get away from work. We were there with my MIL and our adult kids ...enjoyed every moment. Thank you Karl and his Team.

Impressive hospitality”

The island is not too far from KK city and it took 30mins boat ride to reach the island but surprisingly the sea water was clean and clear. I like the hospitality and how the staff was well trained, so polite and friendly. Food was good, bed was confortable, room was spacious. The only down side of this hotel was sand flies. I was badly stung by sand flies and it leaves scars.. Watch out for the monkeys, they are fierce and daring. Dun leave ur belonging at the deck chair, these monkeys will bring back to their home.

Thank you for your kind review detailing a bit on your experience while in the resort. We are very happy that you could appraise the professionalism of the team since indeed we make it a point of honor to give a certain number of training courses throughout the year in order to prepare all team members for all kinds of situations aimed at anticipating all any specific guest's requests. Sandflies are randomly active and specifically during sunrise and sunset. Recently we invested on 3 buffaloes, and they walk and rack the beach consistently in order to annoy and slow down the sandflies growth. We also set in every room a complimentary repellent aimed to protect you from bites. The resort's assets being Nature and wildlife everybody is warned at check in to pay attention and to only take meals within the restaurants since the food immediately attacks the wildlife.

01. The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable and really assist us in any way possible by them 02. The check-in was smooth all the luggage were taken care from the Jesselton Point Jetty and straight to the room. We only need to bring ourself into the room 03. The food also is great during the 2 nights stay, we ate our all our meal there and the chef are able to accommodate to the request. There's one time the chef made white based pizza from scratch to accommodate our request. However, there are several things need improvement. 1. Major problem that I had during the stay is all the trash at the beach. We walked along the beach, and I can say only the beach near the jetty seemed clean. As we getting farther from the jetty there are a lot of trash like plastic bottle, plastics, instant noodles plastic, sacks, quite a number of used diapers on the beach as well as floating in the water. Do note that the beach is a private beach only serving to this hotel only thus hotel management might need to take action on the condition of the beach. Also, hotel could offer turndown service such as setting up the mosquito repellant etc. Overall I would recommend this resort only to people who wants to enjoy time off from the busy city life, and to people who enjoy forest nature. for beach goers, this place may not be suitable yet if the beach still in the current state.

Thank you for your review. We are very pleased that you enjoyed the main assets of the resort, the service of the team, the professionalism, speed and ease of check in, and the food quality. We are sad that during your stay you had to face the anger of the elements and the sea which came to deposit a pile of rubbish on our beautiful beach. The beach is consistently cleaned even though after a storm it takes some time to proceed since we are a small human size hotel with only 48 villas and not an international large group. And I must say that most of the time our beach has nothing to envy of those of the Bahamas and the snorkeling and diving are the activities that all our guests enjoy the most, commonly spotting out sea turtle and baby sharks. At the same time, I agree with you and the wild life should be the main asset our guests should expect.

Paradise in Kota Kinabalu”

The island was absolutely beautiful (minus the sand flies) with emerald green water surrounded by lush foliage. From the moment we checked in at jesselton ferry terminal, we were pampered by the friendly staff who took great care of our needs every step of the way. Every one of them was all smiles and it made our stay on the island thoroughly enjoyable and amazing.

We are glad and honored to read that you appreciated the quality of service of our employees. It is true that each team member is dedicated to go the extra step to please and customize each guest's stay. With regards of activities shall you be more precise it would better help us. Indeed, Bungaraya offers more activities than any other resort with many water activities including snorkeling, kayaking, stand up paddling, sailing. On top of that we run twice a day a canopy walk complimentary (about 30min walk) and a zipline (chargable) that goes in the jungle from tree to tree as Tarzan does! In the morning we offer a class of stretching for guests who would like to wake up smoothly. An in-door gym with ac and TV and facing the South China Sea is available at any time and we also give at disposal a ping pong table, a fooseball table and a pool table. Several therapists offers a large array of SPA treatments all day long and our kitchen and F&B team offer cooking classes and wine tasting.
