New building and clean apartment. We had chosen the property mainly because of the pool but it was exceptionally closed due to a maintenance issue during our stay. The host reacted very well and offered partial compensation.

Villa abuts the ocean; you wake up to the sound of crashing waves right outside. Private swimming pool offers refreshing reprieve from the hot days, and romantic hangout on evenings. In-unit washer is a great help. The villa is one of several in the complex. While we were there, the occupancy rate was very low, and we practically had the place all to ourselves. Facing the ocean means you get unobstructed view of the daily spectacle of sunsets. During low tides when the ocean front is accessible, the entire beach (quite flat out into the water) is for our enjoyment.

Although it was a bit further out from Kuching city the peaceful surrounding and essentially private beach was great. As long as you have a car there’s no issues getting around this area of Borneo. It’s a great concept as well!

Cafe was very good and well priced. Great view. Careful with mosquitoes. Best to wear long pants in that area. Liked all the walkways and natural pool was refreshing. The ocean beaches great and no crocs. We saw lots of monkeys and some birds and butterflies in the jungle by our cabin.

There are 3 different pools (Toddler, kids and adult). My son enjoys the water play area and beach very much. The sunset in the evening is superb. There is a fire dance show on Thursday which is so amazing.
