Papar Hotels with Wifi

"The beach is clean, 50 meters from the water. The constant sound of the sea is present. There's nothing there except the room and the sea, no shops or cafes. You need a car to get to the neighboring town. The owner is very friendly and nice. Unfortunately, we had the misfortune of having local neighbors who threw a party in the room next door, with 6-7 people drinking beer and partying all night until 6 a.m. Trying to ask them not to disturb our sleep resulted in aggression. We didn't feel safe, so we left after the first night. Overall, the hotel is excellent if you're lucky with your neighbors or if the owner keeps an eye on the guests."

"What really makes this hotel shine are its private beach, the beautiful garden surroundings, and the thoughtful Chinese-speaking staff. I especially want to highlight the restaurant – the value for money is incredible! It was easily the best food and value we found during our trip to Malaysia. While breakfast was simple, it was perfectly sufficient. Ordering lunch here was an absolute steal! Just grab a coffee and head to the beach to feel the breeze and enjoy the view – it's so relaxing, you could easily spend a whole afternoon there. We even spotted squirrels and other small critters around the grounds. On the downside, it seems the hotel, possibly managed by Malaysian Chinese owners, has a somewhat relaxed approach to maintenance. The property shows its age a bit. If they just replaced the showerhead, fixed the toilet, and brightened up some of the lighting – just small updates – the overall feel would be significantly improved. The location is quite remote, so once you're there, just settle in and enjoy your time."

"- most review that I was read before mention about these place suitable for healing2 and spend quality time with family, I am agree for this. - owner and staff so friendly, I want to thank you for staff in receptionist for their hospitality and services.

"We took a boat to Dinawan Island from the pier (Beringgis Seafood Restaurant), located 30 minutes from the center of Kota Kinabalu and 15 minutes from the airport. The boat leaves the pier at 9:00 and arrives at the island in about 15 minutes. The beautiful sea is sure to take your breath away. Check-in to the room is after 14:30, so you cannot use it immediately after arriving, so it's better to change into your swimsuit when you head to the pier. We head to the island with about 40 other day trippers, and when we arrive, we have free time until 10:00, where we can swim, kayak, or rest in a hammock. At 10:00, we head to the snorkeling point by boat and can do boat snorkeling. Unfortunately, when I went there, there were jellyfish, so I had to retreat 5 minutes after entering. (I was stung...) It was unlucky because there were no jellyfish the day before. . They take you to the top of a large coral reef. There were a lot of fish, but unfortunately the coral wasn't very colorful. After we got back, we had free time again, and we kayaked in the beautiful sea, snorkeled over the coral reef near the buoy to see the fish. My son enjoyed playing in the sand on the beach. In the lounge (a lounge and dining room with a roof and sofas underneath), you can drink coffee, water, tea, etc. for free. We had a BBQ for lunch, and the chicken skewers were delicious. We also had Malaysian food, yakisoba, fried rice, etc. I like Asian food, so I enjoyed it, but my husband and son, who don't like it, didn't seem to like much. After that, we had snack time while snorkeling and playing on the beach. We were served donuts with round crusts and banana donuts. (My husband and son were very happy to eat them, saying they were the best they had eaten in Malaysia lol) After we were relaxing, we were told that our room was ready, and we had three suitcases carried to our tent. The toilet and shower in the room were a bit questionable, but the bedroom was clean and nice! The family tent was spacious, with a large bed and a bunk bed behind it. There was also a simple air conditioner, which worked surprisingly well. Please note that the electricity is only on from 2:30 p.m. to 9:30 a.m. the next morning. Unfortunately, it started raining in the evening, so we couldn't do the evening kayaking, sunset viewing activities, or the campfire we had planned after dinner, but we played billiards and table soccer until dinner. The day-trippers had left by the time we checked in, and there were only two families, including us, and one other guest at dinner. There were no Japanese people there, including the day-trippers. Dinner was also mainly Malaysian food. When I said I wanted to fish, they lent me my fishing rod at the pier from around 9 p.m., and I fished from there. There are tens of thousands of fish like silver-striped herring under this pier, but we didn't catch a single one even after an hour and a half of perseverance... The German father and son who were with us also didn't catch anything. It was a very pleasant early morning, and we could see Mt. Kinabalu clearly, which we couldn't see at all in Kota Kinabalu. We went snorkeling before breakfast, and my son swam with the schools of fish under the pier. Breakfast was at 8:00, and they also had juice and yogurt. *They also grilled it on the spot. The return boat departed at 11:00, but we were able to use the room until then. The electricity was already gone lol, but we took a cold shower and got ready. The next guests arrived, and we returned on that boat. Compared to places like Sapi Island, which is easily accessible, you can enjoy the quiet and beautiful sea. The snorkeling level may be about the same as Sapi Island, but even looking back now, the beauty of Dinawan Island is outstanding. It may be a bit of a tough beach resort for those who want cleanliness. If you don't mind that much, I think you'll have a great stay!"

"Just had the most incredible six nights at Borneo Eagle Resort, the service was just superb, the staff made our stay amazing, they could not do enough for us whether it was anticipating our needs or remembering exactly what we liked. It is a very remote resort but the benefits of that is that there are not thousands of tourists around and you get true relaxation and Tranquility.  the food is ordered in advance and the chef was really accommodating to changes and menu tweaks, he managed to cook brilliant cuisine from every single continent! The villas were beautiful and the the trips were really good fun thanks to Shafiq. Kenneth at the bar was brilliant and so good with the kids and cocktails!! The Wi-Fi was horrific though so don’t plan on doing any work whilst you’re there, we never had it in the room at any time and only at the restaurant for short periods, Afnan the manager had to take us down the jetty and he let us use his own private phone at one point just to get a signal. They really tried to help whenever we had a problem with anything whether it was the Wi-Fi or the mosquitoes!! The main thing for the kids to do was the trips and playing in the pool which was so huge that they actually went paddle boarding in it every day. I highly recommend this resort if you want to be in a beautiful environment with incredible staff and fantastic food and get away from the crowds!!"

"The location is actually quite good, offering beautiful sunset views. The restaurant is adorned with photos of the owner and their family, chronicling their lives, which gives the place a real sense of history and charm. However, the hotel is quite old and could use a renovation. At night, the bathroom was full of mosquitoes and bugs. Also, the beach area by the hotel becomes muddy during low tide. If it were renovated, it would truly be a wonderful place. The hotel owner is an elderly gentleman who, upon seeing our suitcase was a bit stuck, even asked his staff to get tools to help us fix it. A big thumbs up to him for his kindness!"
