The snorkeling at the Resort was wonderful given that within 25 metres or so we were amongst coral gardens full of tropical fish. This was the absolute highlight. Very friendly helpful staff who worked at the waterfront area, assisting with identification of fish, where to snorkel and other helpful insights. If you are after a family friendly holiday that involves time on and under the water with your children (my son is 10, and loved all the marine life), most recommended.

One of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever stayed. Upgraded our room to one of the bungalows with a private dock overlooking the water, a bit pricy but totally worth it. We could snorkel right off the dock, saw beautiful tropical fish everywhere. Very nice room, huge shower, comfortable bed and stylish decor. Pool and restaurant were also very nice. Would absolutely stay again.

The hotel is very new, and the service is excellent. You can tell a lot of thought went into the interior design—stylish and well-executed. The breakfast is also quite good; the cheese chicken wrap is delicious, though it's not available every day. On weekend evenings, there's live music at the bar, which creates a great atmosphere. I also really liked the mystery box cocktails—they were a fun surprise.

The staff has been exceptional with us, very friendly and super helpful with any request of ours. Moreover, we had a small issue with the water not working in our room for a couple of hours, but the staff was super kind and fixed the problem as fast as they could and to apologise they gifted us a piece of cake. Moreover, they had all the amenities we needed, hair dryer, air-con (which was already on in order to cool down the room), shampoo, soap, etc etc. Bed was comfortable.

Big room, very clean, very nice decorated, AC works perfect, huge window, and a minifridge, located centraly, plenty of food options nearby. Still, keep in mind that the rooms are at the second and the third floor and there is no elevator.

    An amazing location - wonderful views over the bay from our very nice room. We loved seeing the monkeys, hornbills, monitor lizards and geckos. The staff were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed spending time at the simple private beach a short boat ride away. Make sure you arrive at Jesselton Point at least an hour before your speedboat leaves as they check you in there and it can take ages. Evening dining is either a fish restaurant, a Japanese restaurant or a bewilderingly large buffet.

    The staff are exceptional. The variety of food is amazing. Facilities were in good condition and easily accessible. I expected we may be able to hike a few trails on the island but this was not possible. It surprised me for such a relaxed place that you needed more formal attire (trousers, closed shoes and collared shirt for) for one of the restaurants. We weren’t prepared for that. Sunset cruise was brief but great

    Very friendly staff. They fullfilled every single wish, always helpful and smiling. They offer a great snorkeling trip to Sulug Island. There are many spa treatments available. The pool is amazing, very clean. There is only one restaurant and every dish we had was delicious and looked absolutely beautiful. A wide variety of dishes is available also for breakfast. Water and clean towels are delivered to the room daily.

    The kind and helpful personnel. It was a real paradise of rest. The rooms are in the middle of the jungle, between the monkeys and varan lizzards. The rooms are very luxureous. At the pool, there are unlimited towels. There is a nice house reef in front of the hotel. You can get free snorkels and kayaks. There are nice fish and corals.
