Happy life, happy tummy, great mind.

Very clean and friendly environment 🥰 all of the staff are nice and polite 🥰 the food especially ikan asam laksa was the best, tangy spicy 🌶️ with hot rice 😍 will definitely repeat 🔁 to stay here for leisure time. The view for sunset 🌅 is so beautiful and worth it.

Relaxing stay

Relaxing and comfortable environment, private beach and pools, washing machine & dryer (also detergent) available at common area (free). Upgraded my room to sea view suite upon check-in, and have a separate bathroom & bathtub. Pool fling available, and the manager customize the menu for me as a lot of foods were out of stock during the stay due to new year. I love it! Also not to forget friendly and helpful staffs around, one of the staff helped to carry my luggage to the room. Tips: It’s suggested for you to bring mosquito repellent spray as there is a lot of mosquito-nature surroundings. Travel light weight, it might be a little challenging to carry heavy suitcase on the pad walkway if your room is further down.

Awesome place, tiny rooms

Clean, friendly staff, free parking, free washing, next to a perfect empty stretch of beach.

The room is really tiny. I was on my own, and for two nights, so I managed. I also had a car I could keep my luggage in and bring just what was needed. The place is very cool, but be aware how tiny the rooms really are

Good for short stay and relaxing

the hotel surrounding with greenish plants & trees, relax environment & seaview

Room too small, the toilet door very difficult to handle, the coffee too waterly

Once was enough.

The view and the new experience was nice. Not a typical hotel but an expensive camping with view. The walk to the beach was an adventure. The dryer was helpful.

The comfort level even with the expensive room was questionable. The room was too tiny for tall people, apparently with extra long bed. Recommend only for very short stay if you are used to big space and good water pressure in the bath. The AC was so loud and old. You have to be creative to store your stuff.

A great experience for a short getaway.

The resort is about an hour's drive north from the Kuching International Airport, depending on traffic. We decided on a hotel pick up but you could easily get a Grab, which is quite cheap. To put things in perspective this resort is a good place to chill for a couple. Families with children may find the space more challenging. The room design is interesting (literally sleeping in a culvert) so you need to manage your expectations in terms of size as the product was delivered as advertised. A little more challenging if you are tall or a little older (as we were). Nevertheless, having said that, the room was comfortable to sleep in at the end of the day and it was clean. If you want a little more space then I would suggest upgrading to a de luxe, which is also reasonably priced. Breakfast was a nice simple spread of local dishes (which they change around daily), cereal, simple western style eggs and hashes, and juices. The real nice thing was having breakfast facing the sea with a nice breeze and a lovely selection of music. The resort itself is nestled in a primary forest and has a private beach. The sea is quite shallow for almost 700m out but is nice for walks, looking at some local sea life like crabs. There is also a lovely view of the sunset either from the beach or the sunset deck. The staff all converse well in English, have a very friendly disposition and are extremely helpful. Just ask the if you need anything (but do note that some requests come at a small price). There are also shuttles from the resort to places of interest and back and these are reasonably priced.

Nothing really since the overall experience was well worth the time and money. If there was one think would be some citronella to keep the mosquitoes away, especially in the evenings.

Cosy little resort.

Good location, short driving distance to Damai area where you can go do outdoor activities. Restaurant has good food with decent selection for breakfast buffet. There's plenty of lounging areas and a small private beach.

Rooms are not the best for larger individuals (height / size), and the layout makes it difficult if you have any physical impairments as you have to climb over the bed to get to the bathroom. Also, suitcases are not ideal given the space so pack light with easily movable bags.

A special and unique place to stay to relax and get away from the city

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Amazing views from the property especially from the lower infinity pool and sunset deck. Such a cool and unique setup and idea. They offered me An upgrade on arrival for a cheaper price as they weren’t busy so I could have more room as otherwise the standard rooms (pods/pipes) are very compact. It’s all part of the experience anyway! The village is a 20-30 minute walk or they can drop you up there for 10RM (this could be a bit cheaper as it is a short drive).

Both the nights I stayed and ate the on-site restaurant, they didn’t have many local dishes from their menu available which was a shame as there were a few things I wanted to try. So this was disappointing. The meals I did have in the end were lovely admittedly.

We liked staying in the unusual style accommodation.

We upgraded our room when we got there to get more space. Once we did this the stay was very pleasant. The staff were friendly and very helpful with our inquiries. Lots of facilities including Gym, Sauna, 2 x pools.

Our first room was OK for a weekend stay as we were there for a week we upgraded to a room with a separate en-suite this was more suitable for a longer stay.

I love the food.

The facilities suitable for people like me as I like sauna, SPA for my wife and pool for my son. The food also tasted good for me. My family been dine in since checked in.

If you have leg's problem, the room will not be suitable for you to climb over the bed to the washroom unless you choose the room with separated washroom.

No privacy and No space

The view. Good staff. Thats all. Remember to use insect repellent.

NO SPACE not even space for walking. BEDROOM small. Short ceiling - not for tall people TOILET. Sink is small. Curved design - hard to brush teeth/wash face. ALL VERY TINY. The floor is curved so when you enter, you only have a small box to climb into the bed. I almost fell a couple of times because I always forgot the floor is curved. No privacy. The windows are clear! People walking by on the walk way can see everything from the outside. The curtains didn't close properly. Noises early morning 10am+ Leaf blower for more than 30mins. It says soundproof. It is not. Can hear people talking or even footsteps outside. Only stayed for 2 nights. I checked out early and moved to another hotel.

Great stay overall but could have been better.

Nice and quiet location. Friendly staff. Decent food.

Our room needed a bit more upkeep. A few things were missing or broken. There was no spa although it is listed in the facilities on this platform. Sadly several local food options were not available at the restaurant.

Very good

1. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful 😍 2. The structural design of the space evoke softness and the room feels intimate 3. The room was very well equipped 4. Peaceful environment 5. Good security

The choices of food was a bit limited like for example you cannot choose to have toast with other jam not even butter. So you have to eat the pandan kaya jam instead 😅 As a local, I'm expecting more actually since foreigner loves to stay there. But overall was tasty 👌

A unique experience.

This is an incredibly unique experience. The staff here, both those in reception and those working in the restaurant, were excellent! As we were travelling for a prolonged period of time we have used suitcases, when the manager spotted this on our arrival he immediately recommended a larger room as we were staying 4 nights…. This was definitely worth it. The area you’re situated is perfect if you want to get away and switch off as it is very remote.

The photos used can give the impression the rooms are a little bigger than they are. The facilities were good however they were starting to show their age through wear and tear. The closest shop is a 30 minute walk away so make sure you have everything you need before arriving.

Lovely place with lovely staff but a difficult room experience.

Amazing location, great food, nice staff.

This is a pod living concept but this is the smallest pod I have stayed in. Ultimately it was too small. Part of this was trying to regulate the room temperature which was near impossible as the AC is 1m from the bed. In the end this made sleeping difficult and we left feeling exhausted.

NIce Location with great view!

The view and the location are wondeful, we saw every evening the sunset from our room. The bed was really comfortable. Then both pools were clean and nice. The breakfast buffet that they were offering was really nice diverese, every day it was a little bit different than the day before.

At the fitness room the only thing that was working was the treadmill, the otzher two things were out of order. Saddly at somepoint our toilet became clogded. And the Restaurant, for eating dinner, to be honest it was just okay, in total they have like 15 dishes and only 3 were local dishes?! and still the food was moderate.
