We were absolutely blown away by everything. There weren't many people staying at the resort so it felt so special, secluded, and peaceful. The photos don't do the resort, the services, or the scenery justice! We were going to stay at the Gayana marine resort for the overwater huts but they got damaged during the king tide, so this wasn't our first choice of resort. But we were thoroughly impressed by this place and think it was probably even better than the overwater huts I had been dreaming of! The private beach at Bungaraya is truly special and serene (no other resorts in this cove). Our beachside villa was so spacious and in pristine condition, with beautiful hibiscus surrounding the private pool, a short path leading to the beach which we could enjoy views of from our porch, and plenty of wildlife to enjoy just from our porch (lizards, monkeys, hornbills). By the beach we didn't have an issue with bugs (and I usually get eaten alive). The beachside villas are also great for a short walk to the restaurant and to the free kayak/SUP/snorkle gear checkout hut. Definitely worth splurging on the beachside villas. The coral reef accessible from the resort was beautiful (and healthy!) with lots of colorful fish and even some blue spotted sting rays. The food and service was also outstanding. That's not something we usually consider when looking for places (we usually just peruse the photos and available activities), but it was an important part of why our vacation was so enjoyable. We felt like royalty here, which was perfect for our honeymoon. We will definitely be back.

Arriving on a boat where you're greeted by several staff whilst someone plays the xylophone was a special start. We stayed for 2 nights which felt just long enough. We were treated like royalty throughout our stay. All staff were so attentive, caring and friendly. Shout out to Eduardo and Eleanor who were so lovely. We were celebrating our honeymoon and Eduardo decorated a special sea-front table for our final dinner, which was so thoughtful. We had an amazing massage, a dive with Richie which was beautiful, and some snorkelling and sunbathing by the infinity pool, watching the monkeys in the trees! The pool was often empty so plenty of choice of sunbeds. The food was incredible and service exceptional. Bedrooms huge and beautiful with a great turn down service. We had a rainforest villa which is still on the water at high tide, making it like an aquarium around the room. We were lucky to have hornbills and a monitor lizard in the trees right outside our balcony. The whole place was just stunning.

    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.

    Wonderful staycation, food and rooms! Truly relaxing and bliss. Shoutout to the resort for doing a lot to preserve and refurbish the environment, corals and beaches around the island! The hotel staff were also super accomodating of us being vegetarians and made effort to add extra options to the buffet breakfast which was a very kind gesture!

    The resort is located in an exclusive spot surrounded by nature and the villas are very comfortable and with great views. Staff are welcoming and try to be helpful. Food is good quality and there is a range of activities offered by the hotel. Private beach is the best spot for relaxing and snorkeling. Special thanks to Jovara from the reception staff who was the most helpful, nice, friendly of all staff. She made our stay much better!

    The location is amazing, the staff is very friendly and the spa treatments are really good. But that’s about it, the rest is a disaster, incredibly expensive and NOT a 5-star hotel. I went there to relax for a few days, it was impossible to relax anywhere.
