The location of the hotel is great. Jesselton Quay, from where the boats depart for the small islands, is just a few minutes' walk away. The hotel is well equipped. Breakfast is worthwhile, especially for lovers of Asian food. Dinner is also recommended. The cocktails in the bar are excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Lovely small boutique hotel-style residence. They have 6 rooms in total, each newly renovated, clean, modern, and full of high-quality amenities (toiletries, slippers, tea etc.). Comfy bed and large rain-shower. Staff were wonderful and helpful: we booked last minute and they were able to help us immediately! Location close to good seafood restaurants and quite central.

    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.

    Amazing stay at the resort over 2 nights.

    Amazing stay at the resort over 2 nights. The staff and service is absolutely next level. Made us feel so welcome. The food was delicious. Plenty of activities to fill up 3 days for the family. Special acknowledgement to the host Anof, Richie and Showwell and chef Jonathan. Keep up good work guys

    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

    The free kayaking and snorkeling was amazing, so much marine life to see around the hotel. The monitor lizards swimming where amazing. Definitely worth going to the ecology centre on site. You can touch a sea cucumber and starfish and see more of the marine life up close. Staff were really friendly and lovely different places to sit in the shade. We had a rainforest room which was more private than the water front rooms and still very easy to walk from the room straight into the sea.

    Very disappointed. Seems to be endless service charges. When it rains there is absolutely nowhere to go or do except sit the storms out in your lodge. Bar is far too small and unable to get a seat and reception area far to big To summarise, I spent four days on the Island costing me close to £3000 and would honestly day its not worth anywhere near that price.

    The hotel is located on a private island, where you feel the jungle and can enjoy the proximity to nature. The island is full of the wild species that you can hardly see anywhere else.
