Most beautiful beaches and sunrise
The hotel is like a elegant garden
The staff is really nice and friendly
The atmosphere is quite and you can hear the gorgeous sound of the bird
You can see many lovely animals like monkeys lizard many kinds of bird and squirrels
Standing on the balcony viewing the peaceful sea you know that life can really be a long adventure

Please reconsider stay- horrible stay. The buildings could be so beautiful but they have left it to literally fall apart. We were apparently in the new/upgraded wing yet building fallong apart, dirty and water stopped working for period of time. Garbage left around for our three say stay in corridors and pool area and only half restaurants are open and those that are offer poor quality food. The breakfast utensils were on kleenex papers and the Chinese restaurant smelled like smoke with stained table clothes and chairs. The beach and ocean is only redeeming factor but not worth the stay. I would say 2 star hotel rating. Consider rebooking elsewhere.

A very mixed review! I have now stayed here on five different occasions however it has noticeably in disrepair and badly maintained after Covid.
My stay this time was not great but on my previous stays 2006-2018 it was great therefore I will hope this is purely down to the effects of covid and will improve in the near future.

Their food was TERRIBLE!
The breakfast has limited number of food that doesn't even look good. And I had to return the food when I ordered some calamari and burger to the pool because it was just TERRIBLE!
I understand they would have financial problems due to COVID19 but that doesn't mean they should offer such rubbish food to their guests.
The location is far from the downtown, takes about an hour to get to the city but I had to go there every day for food, because there're not many restaurants neither nearby the resort.
Also, the TV in the room was broken that their technicians couldn't even fix. Then purchase new TV for the guests!!!
Also, the corridor was so loud and you can hear everybody walking by. You just can't deep sleep while you're on vacation.
I don't think I will go there ever again.

Is a bit run down for the garden villa. Not suitable for elderly as buggy service drop off point is lobby, whereby restaurant is at lower floor and do not have lift service. Chinese restaurant service is not so good and it took an hour waiting time to serve food. Food choices limited for dinner and some are buffet which is not suitable for elderly and young kids.

I really liked the surrounding nature of the resort. Staffs were friendly as well. However, room (especially bathroom) and some of the resort facilities were outdated and unclean. Bathroom needs refurbishment work and overall cleanness needs to be improved.

The hotel staff were friendly enough but the hotel was a bit old and requires a bit of maintenance work. The food was quite disappointing and a lot of the things we wanted on the menu were out of stock. The kids activities were disorganised, whereby everything started late and only lasted 30mins when it was an hour activity. None of the water sport activities were available to do even though it was advertised everywhere. This hotel has so much potential but requires a lot of work to make it at a higher standard

Thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday here, we had two adjoining rooms that had beautiful views and were close to all amenities. Staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble and their friendliness was outstanding. The restaurants were also outstanding and having live entertainment each evening was lovely. We would also recommend the Borneo Spa for a special treat and pamper. We would definitely love to return here one day, thank you.

Great environment, nice beach, garden & golf, some would say its far from the town though. The resort is a bit tired, definitely needs maintenance, but u can't beat the natural environment.

Comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff.
Excellent location next to the sea. Private beach, very clean.
Wide choice of good quality food from at least five restaurants with different cuisines.
Not too busy, possibly low season. Most other guests were families or couples, majority Chinese with a few people from other areas.
A little isolated and quite far from the city (Kota Kinabalu), about 45 minutes journey by shuttle bus or taxi.
