Wonderful resort with incredible staff who made us feel special and very comfortable. Beatiful grounds, great pool area, restaurants were all lovely. I genuinely can’t fault this experience.

After a terrible check-in process (lack of training) the hotel was great . One thing though the bathrooms are depressing and tired .

We were there for hubby's 50th birthday. We had the Ocean View Suite and it had a great view. The room was somewhat dusty which is not gr8 for my asthmatic husband, but the Housekeeping Manager, Wong Syen, took care of that. He also coordinated with his colleagues at the teppanyaki restaurant to throw for my husband a surprise celebration. Its really wonderful how service-oriented the staff is

3-night trip

8/10

Overall a lovely hotel - the activities are nicely thought out for both families and couples. The downside is we visited during peak holiday season - the check-in experience was unorganised & messy (though the iced peach tea & cold towel were cooling). Other than that, most of the time staff were friendly and very accommodating. The facilities are fun & lovely, even the lifeguards are on guard, the eco-tourism aspect is well-planned. But the restaurant menus were all really pricey (a Malaysian resident package would be an option)

The access to the nature reserve was excellent, with the staff and service all top notch. A great experience for out of the city, and a very well managed resort.

It is an amazing resort with great service and wonderful activities for children. Lorena checked us in and was a superb host for us at the start. Alif was very friendly, and even the ranger gave our daughter a lovely evening tour of the glow in the dark mushrooms. Nothing was too much for them.

Beautiful hotel in a peaceful location. The staff were all so kind and helpful, the amenities were plentiful and the options for food / activities were great. We found a lovely farm to table restaurant (Land Eco Farm) about a 10 min drive from the hotel which I would recommend for a sunset seafood dinner!
4-night trip

10/10

The resort is nestled in a quiet part of Sabah far away from city noise. It’s an idyllic place to be whether you’re there with family like us or if you want to go there for a couple’s getaway. The beach is really nice where you can have fun water sport activities. The staff are great and will always find a way to keep your holidays stress free and memorable. A few notes for the management. The building is showing a bit of age. I’d recommend the hotel to update the doors, wooden furniture and carpets in particular as they are showing signs of wear. The hotel particularly needs to clean the beach all the way across and not just in the front of the hotel. We had to turn back from our walk after a few minutes as it appeared that nobody was cleaning the beach to the right of the property.

2-night trip

10/10

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!!
