There is no signage for reception on arrival at this property. You have to ask the guy on the gate which way to go, then he has you do a semi check in there, which holds everyone else up trying to enter the property.
After checking the room we decided not to stay, this hotel is definitely not a 4 star as advertised, more like a 2 star. Rooms are very run down. There was no lounges around the pool only table and chairs, which didn't make the area very inviting to sit around. The only facility it has is a small cafe, where the food is very average to say the least.
Would definitely not recommend to anyone.

It is kind of inconvience for the stay as the area is huge, you need travel from one place to another just to get into your room. BUT you will surprise to see there is private steam room or jaccuzi in your master bedroom, which is first of it kind compare with other hotel suite. BUT then i am VERY unhappy with how they spam us with their never end whatsapp message. which they have NO RIGHTS to contact us in such way. Our phone number for sure has been abused. There is lot of other way to communicate with customer, but kindly ask for permission before you choose to do that, keep sending us repeated msg or even promoting your SPA with diffirent number does not help us felt we get spammed by the hotel. But staff are helpful here, sadly maybe the way how their management choose to operate included sending us all those unwanted message is questionable, kindly review. This is the first hotel that doing such, even AFTER we inform them please do NOT bothering us anymore but they STILL doing it.

The hotel is old and requires an upgrade. I stayed at the beach front villa, it has a nice view though.

Things I did not like during my entire stay:
It was too much out of the way so no grab was available on regular rates;
Not too many options available for food;
No wifi availability;
Lights did not work in the pool, so couldn't use it at night.

Our stay was pleasant. The rooms were pretty and the views were amazing. Some things around need fixing and maintenance is due for so many things. However the staff and service were excellent.

Stayed here a few years ago. This time around apart from the cafe, the villas are barely maintained especially the exterior roofs, walls and ceilings.

Lovely idyllic setting, perfect for a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of the city. This was our second visit to this resort and I would not hesitate to come back again. Hopefully the SeaView cafe will be open then as this was a big favourite with my family. Highly recommended.

Very happy with my stay. Based on my bookings. However, maybe the slide flap door should put a little bit of grease for smooth opening.

The place needs a lot of maintenance work to be done. At check in, we had power trips, hot water not working, stove not working, the staff was prompt enough to fix most of it.

This is Outdated resort located far from the attractions. The rooms smell terrible. The food was awful, but you had no choice if you don’t have your own transportation. It is an overrated resort and it can’t not be 4 star. I rank it as a 2 star resort. I have to admit that the staff were great and they helped a lot in our accommodation. Overall it was a terrible and costly experience.

Hotel crews were kind. But the room was not clean, and hot water was not consistent.

Here is an overview:
- really good value for money
- villa has aged - nothing major but it reduces the appeal of the place
- villa literally metres from the beach - unbelievable
- private pool is great
- low water pressure
- Malindo flight was delayed by 6.5 hours but hotel only allowed an extra hour for check out. Malindo offered no compensation
- far from city centre - about 1 hour with traffic and no food delivery service
- room service is very affordable for hotel std. Food was good.
- activities were relatively.
- hotel arranged private taxis which were very reasonably priced
- no free shuttle to mosque for Friday prayer
- breakfast - limited in variety

Good location and scenery. Great place for family trip. However, the cleanliness of the room need to be taken care, we found there was quite dusty on furniture. The whole hotel maintenance need to be upgraded and maintained, we found some rusty part on building and equipment.

We had a wonderful stay at the villa. The room and toilet are very big, It even has a Jacuzzi bathtub.There are 2 tvs, one in the living room and the other in the bedroom but cannot be use. The program channels are not much but ok. The breakfast is quite ok, the same always. The reception is not a proper, it is at one of the villa, in other words it does not has a lobby. Cafe house also in one of the villa. They should turn one of the building (former Thai restaurant) into a cafe and lobby. There are more room for improvement.

The beach front appartment we stayed in was very well equipped and maintained overall (A bit of mould in shower ). We had plenty to do in the apartment during a thunderstorm ie dvds, satellite tv, and games. Thank you to the owners. The local area itself is isolated rm 80 taxi to nearest off site shops or restaurants. On-site breakfast great, a la carte lunch and dinner extortionate prices compared to like for like restaurants. On-site convenience shop offers good selection of basic snacks, ice cream and drinks including beers. Fantastic clean beach, we had an awesome time body boarding.

We had very happy experience of staying at North Borneo Beach Villas. The room was spacious, clean and with good sea view. Everything in the room was working. The staff were courteous and helpful. All in all we have no hesitation in recommending North Borneo Beach Villas for a quiet and relaxing holiday. Iftikhar Khan OBE

가족여행으로 갔는데 부모님께서 정말 좋아하셨어요.
특히 방에서 바로 연결된 바다와 자연 경관이 정말 아름다웠어요. 휴식과 자연을 좋아하는 저희 가족에게는 최고의 선택이었습니다. 코타키나발루 시내에서는 느낄 수 없는 한적함과 멋진 경치였어요.
스탭들도 정말 친절했습니다.
시내에서는 거리가 멀지만, 가는 길에 블루모스크와 핑크모스크가 있어서 그리 멀게 느껴지지 않았어요.
다음에 간다면 꼭 다시 방문하고 싶어요:)
It was great in every way. Especially, my parents were really loved this place. There are beautiful long beach connected directly our room terrace so we could see beautiful sea veiw all days and took a calm rest that can't be took in KK city central.
And the staff was also nice and kindness.
Actually, It's a quite far from the KK city central, but I felt it was a part of sightseeing because it has Blue mosque and Pink mosque on the way.
My family and i really miss the beautiful beach and BBV, we will stay again next time, 100% sure:)
