Gaya Island Resort - Small Luxury Hotels of the World
Malohom Bay, Pulau Gaya, Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, 88000 Gaya Island, Malaysia – Great location - show map
Great service with tranquil environment. The food was superb. It was my anniversary, i was happy that they put a nice "touch" to the room decoration. The view from my room was awesome. I will definitely come again.

Nice villas surrounded by jungle and sea. Large pool perfect for swimming. Private beach at Tavajun Bay. Expertly guided activities that are either included or good value. Generally an interesting resort for naturalists. The people at their marine conservation and wildlife centers are doing an excellent job.

Beautiful sunrises and utterly fabulous location the manager ( French)and Hani- new member of staff- both really helpful and Richtel???One of the waiters went above and beyond! All staff totally wonderful! Breakfast buffet amazing! Loved all the Malay/ local dishes! Chef went out of his way to make us Kuching Laksa! Much appreciated! Valentines Night Fisherman's Cove was beyond expectation- both in presentation and flavour! Would love to see more Malay dishes on the evening a la carte menu- we found that limiting- the fish curry and snapper in banana leaf with Sambal was lovely but had to have this three times as nothing else appealed.

Beautiful place and incredible staff and friendly service.thriughout our stay.

Only a 10-minute boat ride to Gaya island resort but felt really removed from the hustle and bustle of the city! The hotel is beautiful, surrounded by trees and the sea with lots to see and to do. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed speaking with the naturalists, they are very knowledgeable and passionate about the jungle, animals and the environment!

Amazing resort! Staff were very friendly and helpful, food was great and the rooms were exceptional!

it was like heaven! THE MOST WONDERFULL VACATION and the view was FANTASTIC! this is 10⭐️ resort! the staff, the food, facilities and is 1000000/10! i will again go there. the perfect resort vacation!

I love the personalised touch. All the staff knew us and took very good care of us.

Very large rooms, excellent breakfast, very polite and helpful staff, very attractive place, lovely long pool, good snorkelling, the use of kayaks for an hour, free yoga classes, nature walks.

natural views, peaceful stay, comfortable environment
