              Many insects 🦟 in the resort. Ants 🐜 are everywhere. The water supply was out of order one night. I couldn’t shower that night. It is ok cause that’s not the resort’s problem. However, after it resumed, mug water came out from the tap. It is disgusting to use it for cleaning. Many rubbish in the sea. It totally destroys the value of being a villa!

              The resort is nicely built on stilts over water. Boat ride to and fro KK takes about 30min each way. Two restaurants available at the resort. Guest can go over and utilize the facilities at sister resort BungaRaya (better and cleaner beach and sea). Can snorkel around Gayana but largely the corals are dead or limited. Gayana offers a dive center and if one needs to, head off to Sepanggar Island for boat dive. Gayana offers daily scheduled boat rides to and fro KK that’s FOC. Guest can hop on it for lunch or walkabout in KK as well. And beware of monkeys. Never leave any doors and windows open/ajar. Don’t leave any food around unattended outside on the balcony or else it’s good as gone.

              Overall great value for money. Kinda Maldives environment in Malaysia at Malaysian price! Food is still kinda pricey though and restaurant staff need better training. The staff said cold brew local Tenom coffee is just milk and ice, no coffee! Although this is a promotion item in all the resort's restaurants. There're some fine wood dust keep dropping from the ceiling and door frame also but not a big issue. Room's direct access ladder into the sea could also be made more ergonomic and less slippery (moss on lower steps).

You can directly jump into the sea from the balcony. You can borrow snorkeling tools and kayak at the reception for free. Also hotel offered free boat service from Jesselton point to the hotel at fixed time. I would definitely come and stay here again!!! Hope this place doesn’t become so famous that i can easily book. :)

Food was a bit pricey though, but still a great experience nevertheless. Anyone visiting should make time to listen to how they are helping with the clams, corals and other sea life. There is a session in the ecology center every day.

              the facilities such as kayaking and snorkelling was not allowable after 5pm, which was inconvenient for the guests staying in the resort. this is such an upset as we paid such a hefty price to stay at this resort but was not allowed to use the facilities after 5pm. however, agoda needs to inform the resort management to extend the facility usage time up to 7pm for its guests as it would make it a real value for money instead of too many restrictions which will make their guests feel in a real relaxed and holiday mood especially for those travelling with children.

We enjoyed the sunrise every morning but for those who like the sunset be informed that the sun sets on the other side of the island. Was interesting to visit the MERC (Maritime Ecology Reserch Centre) which is part of the resort, very educational if you have children. We enjoyed every minute. P.S. Do not miss the romantic dinner set up in your bungalow ;-)

              This resort is very well located, not more than 10 min by boat from Kota Kinabalu. It s closed to the town but far also since the city is hidden by the hills and forests with a wonderful view on the China see. The staff is very helpful always looking for your best. Its a postcard hotel which even if it is not cheap worth the quality of the service provided.

              We enjoyed very much with the snorkeling, swimming and other activities during our stay in the hotel. The staff are nice. The only complaint may be the poor internet connection. In our room, the connection is not reachable. In the restaurant, poor connection and even with the connection, the speed is too slow and broken from time to time, not even sufficient for checking email. One last thing that I would like to remind the other visitors is the potential hazards with the wild animals, for example there are monkeys in the morning. These monkeys not only get food during the house keeping period but also try to get food if you are carrying food with plastic bag. It should be fine if you are aware of this issue. I also see wild boar during our stay.

But the facilities is little bit old. and the Ocean villa toilet big without bath. The stair is too high from the sea level, so when the tide is low, stair is difficult to climb. It is better to have a shower on the balcony next to the stair, or otherwise, shower need to pass via the living room to the toilet.

              Stayed 2 nights in December 2012
              Nice hotel”
              Quiet and good resort for relaxing
              This is a very nice resort for relaxing. We are happy with all staffs during 2 nights stay. However, we think the boatman needs to improve his Engilsh communication ability so that he can introduce visitors more feature during sailing and fishing.
