A complete getaway began with the boat ride across the bay to the resort. The drive to the Dragon Pearl Resort felt like we were escaping civilisation to begin with. When we stepped onto the boat the escape was complete. Three days in paradise cut off from the world beyond.
The staff team were all awesome - friendly and happy to help with any question. They really made us feel welcome throughout our stay.
The rooms are basic but super clean and perfect for a chilled getaway.
The manager Awie really looked after us, the food was simple and delicious. The dive team gave some great advice about snorkelling (we are not divers) which allowed us to explore local reefs.
Additional drinks purchases were easy and work on an honest system, which is great and adds to the chilled and trusting vibe.
We loved our three days of snorkelling, kayaking and reading whilst sitting in hammocks.
We’ll definitely be back to stay again. Next time we’ll even dive.
Mantanani Island
Located in Mantanani Island, GreenHouse Lodge provides accommodation with access to a garden. The property boasts reusable plastic materials, using energy-saving lighting and conserving rainwater.
A private beach area is available on site and snorkelling can be enjoyed within close proximity of the property.
From the moment we arrived, we absolutely loved our stay here. If you're looking for a beautiful, eco-friendly retreat created and run by people who genuinely care about the environment, this is the place for you.
Fred, the owner, built this Ecolodge himself with a clear mission: to be 100% sustainable. Every aspect of the property reflects that goal—everything is green, circular, and thoughtfully designed. The lodge is impressively clean, well-maintained, and full of character.
The rooms are spacious, freshly renovated, and each comes with its own private bathroom. We stayed in the Double Room, which was very comfortable and equipped with a fan—perfect for keeping cool at night.
All the essentials are available on-site, including kayak and snorkeling gear rentals, which made exploring the area super convenient.
One of the absolute highlights of our stay was the food. Sook Peng, Fred’s wife, is not only an incredible cook but also a truly warm and welcoming person. Sharing meals with her was a joy, and her cooking made every meal memorable.
There are also cozy hammocks for relaxing, and the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to unwind.
We couldn't recommend this place more highly—it's a rare gem built with heart and purpose.
Oh, I was almost forgetting, both land and transport are organized by the Fred and Sook Peng and everything went super smooth!
Terima kasih Fred and Sook Peng!
Gaya Island - 5 miles from beach
Located off the coast of Borneo on Gaya Island, Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa features spacious villas with a private balcony. The resort boasts an outdoor pool and 3 dining options. Free WiFi is accessible from the villas. We had the most amazing stay at Bungaraya! The location is idyllic, the staff are the best, most wonderful people and were fantastic at helping organise a proposal 🥂. It is the ideal place to learn about the conservation efforts and get away from the world. We really liked that we couldn't get wifi in the villa as it made us disconnect and appreciate where we were more but that might not be practical for everyone. The food was delicious and fresh with a mix of local and international flavours. All in all a wonderful place and hopefully we will be back in the future! **Side note - we were lucky enough to stay at the Gayana Marine resort on the other side of the island for a few days and it was equally amazing! Very relaxed vibes, perfect if you want seclusion and watch the marine life 🐟

Facilities for the children. The extra large bed. The sunset on the beach.
A refreshing experience staying in a stilted beach house. Looking out is a picturesque scene of vast expand of sky, ocean, sea waves and fishing boats. An interlude that brings peace and reflections.
Beautiful location right on the beach. Is a long way out of town but owner will arrange pick up if required. Room basic but clean. Lots of trips, snorkeling etc in surrounding area. Perfect getaway for a few days
The location is wonderful. The private beach with shaded chairs provides an excellent escape from the crowds. Snorkeling is generally pretty good. Lots of activities available of your interested. The rooms are huge and the hilltop ones have a wonderful view of the ocean from the 2nd floor bedroom balcony. The staff are all very kind and helpful when available. The food is decent.
The breakfast buffet is great. The poolside service is fantastic. Our children loved the mini splash zone/ water slides and access to the private beach.
I love that the balcony of my room looking straight to the ocean! It's a very tranquil place with no commercial tourism activities. A very pleasant place to relax. I could see the livelihood of locals and kids playing on the beach. The owner contacted me before my check in date to guide the way. It is recommended to take the longer route to avoid the off-road way that is not suitable for small cars.
We had a ground floor unit which is easily accessible to the pool and seaside. Spacious and Comfortable unit. A sunset walk along the beach was rewarding.
Nice hotel and facilities even though a bit outdated, the kids loved the swimming pool and water slides. Very good breakfast buffet. Wonderful sunset view from the beach and sunset bar. It's very convenient to arrange boat trip to the islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman park with packed lunch from the hotel.
Lots of activities, 3 resorts in one place, great breakfast buffet, helpful and friendly staffs, private beach, great location and ocean view.
