lovely comfortable room with extra seating area. good air con. Room very near to the reception area and not too near to the main walk way where the day trippers filed in. Breakfast catered for every nationality choices. The private beach had sunbeds and shades and we never had a problem getting one! The beach was clean and the sea warm and a safe snorkelling area was protected by coloured buoys. Many boats came to the island each day so safe area was appreciated and this also kept the coral from boat damage in the "safe" area. Many beautiful fish and healthy coral.

Warning ..if you are not fit do not go to the hillside Villas as the steps are VERY steep. Only one restaurant with fixed menu so limited in choice for evening meal as we stayed 4 nights.

The private beach was lovely with soft white sand and beautiful clear water. We stayed in a hillside villa which had a wonderful view of the beach and the sea. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly and helpful. Great place for snorkelling and seeing lots of different fish.

Only one shop on the island to buy water and snacks - the prices were heavily inflated. The hotel provided two small plastic 500ml bottles per guest per day - not enough. The hotel should consider using recyclable materials for providing water and toiletries rather than so much plastic. There was a lot of plastic washing up on the beach everyday. The free boat transfer that’s included in the price only leaves at very specific times during the morning - after this you have to pay RM250 for your own boat.

amazing staff. beautiful island. affordable as not private but it was fun seeing the day trippers. they were gone by 4 and there is private beach city and a private pool so no one gets in the way. amazing guitarists playing for us in the restaurant at supper. really really lovely. really good food for dinner there is a fast food outlet that does local cheap fare for lunch and a shop to buy crisps and beer for your own cocktail hour in your apt or villa. monitor lizard 'gerry' was cool. massive bugger. such a lovely environment. 🙏

the beer at the restaurant could have been cheaper

The beach is stunning, though a bit rocky in some areas. The food was fresh and delicious. We chose a room close to the beach, which was convenient, but it can get noisy in the mornings as visitors start arriving around 8 or 9 AM. The resort itself is beautiful, and having a private beach made the stay more enjoyable. A short stay is more than enough to experience the best the resort has to offer.

The noise from the room next door was very noticeable, and we could hear every step from the room above us. While the food was tasty, it was expensive, and some dishes came in very small portions. Additionally, the water heater and shower in our room weren’t working properly, which was disappointing.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The location is beautiful.

The check out process was not clear and very confusing, where to go, which boat to get on ect.

Spacious room with a balcony overlooking the sea. Room smells Heavenly when we first arrived and ac already working and it felt great after the hot boat ride. The private beach was nice as the island could get crowded during the day. All the staff was nice and friendly. Food tasted authentic.

The room had no mirrors or storage or hooks to hang towels and clothes. The bathroom was odd as it was on a lower level and have to descend about 4 steps down and although there was a handrail, may pose a fall risk in the dark or anyone with mobility concern. Breakfast was ok but since it was set meals, not much variety if you stay for several days. Beach has a lot of trash and they make good effort to clean it daily but there was still a lot of trash left. The private beach was nice but no service to buy or order food and drinks or towel service. I had to walk all the way back to my room or to the restaurant to get drinks and snacks, which was a distance away. There was a staff at the beach but he was just sitting under the shade, did not come around to offer food or beverage service.

We booked one of the hillside lodges and had the private beach just in front of us. The lodge was spacy, comfortable, clean and luxurios with big windows faced to the sea. After the masses of daily tourists left the island at 4:30 pm it was quiet and calm. The staff was very friendly and polite. We would definetly recommend to go there and enjoy the cristal clear sea and sunsets.

There are just two opportunities to eat on the island, there is no possibility to cook on your own. The food was okay, the service didn't understand english language very well.

staff & room

the island is very hot. No air around there. may be near at k.kinabalu city.

Amazing view from hillside villas, and nice private beach. Breakfast is pretty good with different nice alternatives.

Lunch and Dinner times Restaurant was too limited. Beverages was too hot as the restaurant fridge was not working. We couldn’t drink cold soft drinks including beer. Wine option available if you buy a bottle only. Room was not cleaned, there was some hairs and dirty places. No drinking water at the room.

Our hillside villa was superb - a huge sitting room, large bedroom, and a vast bathroom, plus an outdoor area with a spectacular view out over the beach and sea. It was a lot more upmarket than I had expected! We had a good dinner in the hotel's pleasant open-air restaurant (serenaded by some excellent musicians!), and the breakfast buffet the following morning was also good. The fresh-water swimming pool was large and refreshing. And we saw a lot of fish while snorkelling over the coral off the beach (but only deep enough to do that at high tide). The staff were outstandingly helpful and friendly.

There was no WiFi in the villa itself, but good connection in the reception area, and intermittent connection in the restaurant. And (no fault of the hotel of course) we got bitten by sandflies while on the beach.
