If you want to feel like in paradise, that's the right place for it!
I liked everything! The atmosphere is quite and relaxing. You feel as in the family, and a very accepting family! Everything you need is provided for you; Fred and Espi really make your life comfortable. In addition, the wonderful nature around, and you can get kayaks to go to the nearest island to make snorkeling and to see corals and colorful fishes... If you need a rest after the long working year, it is the best place you can choose. No noise, no transport, no crowds, the view of ocean, a very clean beach near the stay. We had a walk around the island, and the best and cleanest beach was near our stay. The food that the owners provide was delicious, everything was home-made, including the bread that I couldn't stop to eat it. I have a food allergy, and Espi cooked for me individually so that I could eat without worrying about it. It is the place that I would like to return there each year! I just want to thank Fred and Espi, his wife, for this wonderful time!
Everything was just great! 👍👍👍👍

Rubbish all over the island, good but expensive food, no restaurant.
The food is good but it is NOT a restaurant. It is quiet and the property is right on the beach. Hostess is very friendly and will accomodate most food preferences.
Property advertises a restaurant but there isn’t one. There is nowhere else on the island that is close to get food so you either BYO - but there is only a BBQ, or have it there. Food is expensive for budget travellers- 25MYR pp for lunch and 50MYR pp for dinner. You are asked to eat dinner with hosts. Sunset bar is closed and you have to seek the owner to order a drink throughout the day. Host is always busy doing projects and makes you feel like you are interfering or disrupting his work. There is so much rubbish and plastic litter on the entire island. Plastic bags in the ocean.

Good
The GreenHouse is on a beautiful beach with great views and very nice temperature due to some wind entering the beach. The food was incredible and the facilities are as shown in the picture, very nice and clean (we stayed in the suite). Snorkling and scuba diving very recommendable.
When we arrived it did not feel like a warm welcoming, but just a lot of rules (what you can do and what not). In our case with the suite, you pay a lot of money, expecting a lot. But then there extra cost which do not seem very transparent when you do the booking. Just to get from the Kota Kinabalu to the island and back will cost you 270 RM (2x (75+60)) per person, which seems quite expensive when you compare it other islands, where at least the boat trip was included. For Kayak and Snorkling they charge you extra as well. Lunch and dinner (really recommendable) they offer you as optional, but there are no other alternatives on the island. So it was a little bit a surprise for us and felt like everytime you ask for something they will charge you extra. Our suite was really beautiful, but during the night we had a lot of problems with mosquitos (even with usage of mosquito spray and everything), since the mosquito nets were damaged. So in our case we payed a lot of money and expected more, but if you are aware of all the additional costs (even the Coffee after lunch) and maybe have a "normal" room it is definitly a really nice place to stay. *There is a lot of plastic on the beaches at Mantanani (coming daily from the ocean/main land), which is a general problem, but they keep their beach as tidy as possible.

We soon relaxed into the Island way of life. It was picture perfect.
The Host Sook Peng and Fred were wonderful hosts, Sook Peng is a fantastic cook and host. The Island was idealistic and a great escape. We enjoyed taking out the Kayaks and snorkeling. We did not want to leave.
The stay ended too soon.

An awesome experience in a small lodge on this island. Very average snorkelling as we had a storm and couldn’t go to the
Amazing staff. So much like family. Awesome food.

Peaceful gem in paradise!
Sook’s AMAZING home cooked food, the secluded and peaceful location, clean beach, snorkling and kayak possibilities (small fee), comfortable bed and bathroom. Fred and Sook help you with transport from KK (1.5hr ride and 30min boat ride).
Our stay was excellent, however the booking process was a bit of a hassle due to their calendar not being up to date. Our initial booking was cancelled and we had to choose new dates/switch to a more expensive room.

Exceptional
We had the most amazing time in this little paradise. Fred and SP are the most caring hosts who really go out and about to make you feel at home and manage to create a family with the select group of visitors. The food SP cooks is delicious, and the snorkling in front of the lodge was great - we saw many nemo fishes. Good memories!

The Perfect Island Getaway
Firstly, the lodge is a quaint haven a boat-ride away from Kota Belud. The surroundings were peaceful, quiet and tranquil. Fred and SP were exceptional and went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable. The lodge has a nice family-feel to it, and is as pleasant as it can be. The property itself is very comfortable, and has all the amenities you'd need. Snorkelling over corals and marine wildlife is merely a 20-second wade into the sea immediately in front of the property, or alternatively a short kayak (can be rented at the property) away at the adjoining island. Simply put, the location is stunning. Plenty of reviews here highlight SP's wonderful food. Surprising as it may seem, it is an undersell. No words can do it justice, other than to try it yourself. A highly recommended retreat.
Minor noise from improvement works being carried out. However, this is completely understandable and was not too much of an issue.
