Beringgis Beach Resort & Spa ★★★★

📍 KM26, Jalan Papar, , Kampung Beringgis, Kota Kinabalu, Papar

"We loved having our breakfast here while watching the sea. The sunset was stunning & the beach was not too crowded during sunset. The only downside was we had to carry our own luggages because there was no trolley/bellboy service & since the resort is huge, it was a bit of a hussle but overall we still enjoyed our stay here!"

Langkah Syabas Beach Resort ★★★

📍 Kampung Laut Kinarut, Off Jalan Papar Baru, Papar

"My kids love it, we stayed at deluxe room with Seaview for 2 nights. The kids just can't leave the pool. There's one in from of our room (5ft/4ft) and 1 public pool beside the resort lobby which is ideal for preschool or toddlers level. If you one room direct in front of pool request room 21 or 22."

Ara Dinawan Island Resort
7.8 (13 reviews)

Ara Dinawan Island Resort ★★

📍 Dinawan Island, Papar

"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 a few comments: - The beach needs to be cleaned. There's a plastic and a sharp object. - The breakfast buffet can be improved. Maybe add some omelette or sausages. Overall it is great staying here. Suitable for a family trip"

Borneo Eagle Resort
8.5 (8 reviews)

Borneo Eagle Resort ★★★★

📍 Borneo Eagle Resort Pulau Tiga Kuala Penyu, Papar

"The room was so huge that I felt like I suddenly became a rich person. It was so big that it was hard to imagine. We were the only family in the whole hotel. All the customer service staff, about 20 people or so, were around us. The service was good. The restaurant prepared various foods according to the needs of the guests, and the desserts were great, too. It was just a little lonely!"

Langkah Syabas Beach Resort ★★★
"There's like 17-20 chalets. Few steps away from your chalet, is the swimming pool. The pool is clean, have child section. Around the pool is lazy chair or beach chair you call it, while your kids are swimming, you can just sit back and relax. Few more steps, and it's the beach. Yes the beach isn't as lovely as tg aru or tg lipat, but for me, it's 8/10. There's lazy chairs as well for you to sit back and enjoy the seaview. Food wise, I just tried the buffet breakfast, it's a average, not much choice, but given the price of staying + free breakfast, it's worth it. Oh, the only noticeable downside for me is mosquito. My child got stung here and there, perhaps can install nets especially on the video above shower room. That window is open 24-7 for ventilation, but also allowed mosquitoes to just barge in. Not a big deal, just install net, done. And customers can just apply lemongrass lotion or spray the room."

Ara Dinawan Island Resort ★★
"Let me talk about the advantages first. 1. There are few people. 2. The food is delicious. The chicken wings for lunch BBQ and the donuts for afternoon tea are both good. 3. The scenery is beautiful. 4. The bed is very comfortable. 5. The service staff is friendly and patient to accompany us for night fishing. 6. There are four cute dogs and 2 cats. The disadvantages are: 1. Many small flying insects will bite people. I was bitten more than 10 times and it was super itchy. 2. There is a lot of garbage on the beach. 3. The bath water is very small. It is either very hot or cold. 4. Most of the snorkeling is dead corals, and there are fewer fish species. 5. Some recreational facilities need to be well maintained. It is suitable for staying for a day to experience it."
