I was very expected to stay at 5 stars hotel on the beatiful island, but our room key was broken and we needed to stay outside nearly 1 houer in hot temperature when we arrived. We also found lot's of rubbish included cigarette butt just in front of our room. I asked hotel staff to clean up but they never did. The island is incredibly beatiful, but I was very disappointed with this hotel. I want them to improve, because it's 5 stars hotel.

Trip cancelled by hotel due to bad weather. No prior update by hotel nor trip . Com. No assistance render. We are left on our own without a room for the night. We were extremely disappointed but can understand the situation due to Safety. Also, why were our refund request rejected. Please provide a justification for this cancellation by the hotel.

Full of Chinese tourists !!! If u wanna enjoy ur vacation and stay away from Chinese,this is not for u. No hate but if u know u know. (I’m Asian as well) but I don’t wanna go to an island that full of Chinese tourists. (I even asked the staff,they say they have at lot of Chinese tourists) Service is really nice. People are friendly, English speaking, a lot of cute dogs. No hate again. Just a reminder.

December is the off-peak season. There were two guest parties at that 🌙. I and my wife enjoyed the quietness during staying in the island. Although far away from KK city, We have used the shuttle bus transfer service which is convenient. The complementary snokerling activity is a must do. The 🪸 is less damaged than that in the TAR island park.

Mantanani memang cantik. Cuma part tnggu bot tu lama. Nak pergi snorkelling pun kena tunggu org lain. Bilik premium chalet seaview mmg best. Sunset add on rm16/person in worth it.

We apologize for the inconvenience of waiting for the boat and for other guests while snorkeling.

Fabulous resort with excellent water quality and beach. Plenty of personal space. Boat transfer extremely disorganised - changed multiple times via email and it was still wrong plus delayed. Definitely stay for more than 1 night, as you only arrive at the island around 4pm, and need to check out around noon with boat departing by 1pm Some of the paid activities weren’t available, which was a shame. Prices for paid activities very reasonable.
Response from Property: Thank you for your review. Firstly, our sincere apologies on the boat transfer experience that did not meet your expectation. All your other feedback had channeled to our team for improvement. We hope that you will give us another opportunity to showcase our resort at its best on your next trip to Kota Kinabalu

Facilities: All the facilities are available. You can snorkel if you sign up before 9am every day. The weather was good and I saw a lot of fish. Service: The service is very good and very enthusiastic. Environment: The environment is really average, after all, the island is full of seawater. But the scenery is super beautiful! ! Stayed for 3 days and 2 nights! ! The buffet in the morning is quite rich.

The scenery on the island is ok. It is an outlying island after all. It is recommended to stay for 2 nights as 1 night is too busy. The speed boat going to the island really persuaded people to leave, why didn’t anyone say anything? 1/3 of the people fainted and vomited. Although I didn't, my family members fainted. In addition, the air conditioner in the sea view wooden house is particularly cold. Even if I change to another room, the same problem persists. The solution is to spend money to upgrade to a premium wooden house so that the air conditioner can work properly. There is a very unpleasant feeling!
