The staff is phenomenal. From the moment you arrive to when you leave. Hani, one of the managers made sure we were completely taken care of. She went above and beyond. All the waiters and waitresses were professional and courteous. The nature guides were amazing at emphasizing the importance of conservation and preservation. I cannot say enough great things about the people that make a beautiful place almost magical. We have traveled extensively and this by far was the best resort we have ever stayed at.

Very professional and attentive services even before check-in. Instructions were clear and personalised service when we were unable to locate the lift lobby. Annabale came down to pick us personally. Staff constantly in touch to ensure our comfort through the stay. I applaud the exceptional services and location was great! Room and bathroom were well lit and very clean. Bed was very comfortable. Hotel was very generous with mineral water and soft drinks. Overall, I was impressed by the staff and the property. It was a good value place to stay.

After staying at a super basic guesthouse, it was great to spend 2 nights at this super comfy hotel. The staff was super friendly and responded quickly if we had any questions. Also, the bed and shower are big pro's as they offer great comfort. We really enjoyed our stay here!

    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. 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 hotel is lovely and the staff very helpful and friendly. We loved the fact that they are an echo resort. Only downside is the sea is not clean, but unfortunately this is becoming less and less frequent everywhere and not something the hotel can control.
