chalets we’re clean & comfy, outdoor bathroom was great, staff were attentive & eager to please. Location was beautiful, very peaceful- nice sunsets 😍

No menu at the restaurant, staff just bring out what they have made (if u have any dietary restrictions this is difficult- I am a vegetarian & was served fish) there was no communication regarding what food requirements u may have. This may be due to the lack of English spoken, although, more senior staff seemed to speak English but were not around to liaise with guests. Only solar power available, which I commend 100% - but this should be made clear BEFORE booking. Charging phone at night is discouraged (which is fine) but I found I was unable to charge phone during the day also. This was a problem for me as I had booked for 3 days, if my phone was flat after that time then I would be unable to organize transport/accommodation to my next destination. People do rely on their phones these days, especially when travelling. I feel this should be made clear in booking advertisements so u are aware of this BEFORE u book. Staff also spending the whole day raking leaves in front of the (only 2) bungalows so does not feel very private as they are always watching you. They also smoke a lot in front of bungalows on the beach so the smell of cigarettes is always present. I would recommend they only smoke in the partitioned staff area off to the side, where they would not bother guests with the smell. I gathered they smoke in front of bungalows as this is the only area where there is phone reception…… ironically they suggest that guests “switch off their phone” & enjoy the environment……..

Super friendly host, excellent food, unique location (privacy guaranteed!)

The first accommodation ever where I give a full rating - the best of the best. It's probably not for everyone, but we really had a heavenly time there. The accommodation is away from civilization (when the tide is high, they take you from the small village for about 5 minutes by speedboat, when the tide is low, you have to walk about 1.5 kilometers, which is also romantic - because the helpers carry your luggage). There are only 3 chalets on the beach, so even when it is "crowded", there are no more than a few people. With the tide you have the sea right by the terrace - and the sea is beautifully warm and clean and there are beautiful shells in it. The accommodation is simple, but you are only in for the night anyway. We all loved the open-air bathroom. The best thing though is the care that awaits you there. The manager and his wife looked after us like we were family. We paid for our lunch and dinner (which in all honesty we couldn't have done any other way as there is no restaurant anywhere). The price was not low by local standards (40 MYR lunch + 40 MYR dinner per pax, August 2022) but it was definitely worth it. We always had 3 different meals, one of which was always freshly baked fish, plus watermelon for dessert. The kids paid nothing and there was always enough for the four of us. The ability to refill our drinking water at any time is also a big advantage. This magical place was one of the highlights of our Borneo trip.

Beautiful houses on one of the nicest beaches I have seen iny life. You can use the kayak to go to the small island where you can see coral and many species of fish. The family that runs this facility are the nicest people who will take care of you for the entire stay.

The location was amazing, secluded beach, clean & comfortable and very rustic. Nice to be excluded. the staff on site were helpful, friendly & nice but limited English speaking. Rez the manager ruined our stay though... so i recommend staying at Big Fin Divers instead just up the beach. better facilities, food and vibe.

Rez the manager was very abusive over whats app. facilities didnt match the cost. extra charge of 40 RM PER MEAL was communicated one day before arrival and due to options you can't eat any where else. They only serve hot water. no cold soft drinks or cold water available for purchase. when asked to explore this as met with abusive whats app from rez. he also insulted other holidaymakers who were staying with us. too many stray dogs close to your belongings & near us who are unpredictable in behaviour. Dogs begging in the restaurant at meal times.

Staying in paradise, on the beach, very tranquil, beautiful bay, good food

The costs at the end, would be better if prices of meals where clear in beginning

Great location. The owner and his daughter provided kind help with facilitating transport to and from the place which is rather isolated. They even took the trouble to book a hotel for us in the next stop (Kota Belud). The food is good but one should be aware that it might lean slightly more towards Malay than western tastes. The houses are simple but comfortable. No internet or even phone connection which provides a nice detox. Maybe the place is priced slightly above the quality.

Fabulous stay in this remote beach haven. The isolated location, the friendly staff, and the copious wonderful food made this such a memorable stay. Our 4 year old daughter loved the place, as did we. Thank you everyone from the Beachhaven. Keep on travelling!

Nothing to note.

I like the place very peacfull, The owner is a very friendly and helpful lady#Natasha# Food :semua sedap2, ikan, udang fresh

We opted to take a cool box and BBQ so we did not take advantage of the food offering at the resort. The location is very nice with great sunsets and lovely view of Mount Kinabalu. The location is quiet with limited activities but if you are looking to escape for a night or two and chill out it is a great place and reasonably quick journey from Kota Kinabalu by car.

Although we did not make use of the catering there which i believe was included in the price i believe that they could possibly benefit from a bar area there to allow guests to socialise if that is what they are seeking. I understand the resort is reasonably new so perhaps this is planned in the near future.

Chalet was comfortable and the staffs are very friendly and helpful.

Everything! From start to finish we had an amazing holiday. I can't recommend The Beachaven Chalets enough. The food was fantastic, the chalets were comfortable and the staff were amazing. It's such a beautiful location!

It's a bit remote so take everything you need with you.

Everything

strategic location. beautiful beach. Delicious Food. peaceful & Relaxing. Staff is so nice and helpful. Beautiful Sunset. Madam(Owner) is very friendly😊

very weak telephone signal. but its holiday time. put away yr daily online activities for a moment. Enjoy the Quality time with family

Just in love with everything in THBC! Especially Madam Natasha (owner)! She's too cool and loving!

I didn't like the feelings of wanting to stay longer here. Missing THBC so much!

Everything! Perfect bungalow with the most amazing open air bathroom - fully equipped with umbrella for the “sitting down” should it rain :0) Free dugout canoe for the kids to use on the safe shallow sandy bay, where you can observe them while enjoying the complimentary welcome drink in the shade of the veranda or the daybed. Food is great too and very fairly priced.

I could not think of a single thing that could be better. Loved it

Amazing little hidden spot.

The staff was very very friendly and devoted to the well-being of us guests. Really amazing experience.
