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 🐟

This is the most amazing place! We almost didn’t go because of the reviews but so glad we went (other guest we spoke to also thought they were crazy!) The staff are the kindest, the food is amazing ( especially if you like Malaysian food) and the rooms with the views are gorgeous. It’s paradise. There’s a lot of trash in the waters around Gaya but the beach is getting cleaned everyday and the fact that the Hotel have Justin and his team of biologists restoring the corals, regrowing the mangroves and taking care of injured turtles really warmed our hearts. Hopefully more resorts will follow suit. If you’re elderly it’s difficult to walk up to the higher houses so maybe ask for a lower chalet before booking (for us it was fine) We had activities every day and if they were fully booked from the hotel Lamb in the reception organized to get us on other tours. We loved this place so much we extended our stay and still wished we had more days.

I had a wonderful stay at this cozy homestay in Sutera Avenue, Kota Kinabalu! The unit is spacious and perfect for both families and small groups, featuring two comfortable queen beds, a bright living room, and a well-equipped kitchenette that made it easy to prepare light meals. can enjoy the swimming pool with a nice city view and a gym for a quick workout. The property itself is very convenient, with restaurants, cafés, a Chagee outlet, and a Chunk & Dunk Diner just downstairs. There’s even a convenience store within the building. The location is excellent — just a short drive to Imago Shopping Mall, and the airport. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the best of Kota Kinabalu! 🌴✨

Very friendly staff. They fullfilled every single wish, always helpful and smiling. They offer a great snorkeling trip to Sulug Island. There are many spa treatments available. The pool is amazing, very clean. There is only one restaurant and every dish we had was delicious and looked absolutely beautiful. A wide variety of dishes is available also for breakfast. Water and clean towels are delivered to the room daily.

Wonderful staycation, food and rooms! Truly relaxing and bliss. Shoutout to the resort for doing a lot to preserve and refurbish the environment, corals and beaches around the island! The hotel staff were also super accomodating of us being vegetarians and made effort to add extra options to the buffet breakfast which was a very kind gesture!

The resort is located in an exclusive spot surrounded by nature and the villas are very comfortable and with great views. Staff are welcoming and try to be helpful. Food is good quality and there is a range of activities offered by the hotel. Private beach is the best spot for relaxing and snorkeling. Special thanks to Jovara from the reception staff who was the most helpful, nice, friendly of all staff. She made our stay much better!

The location is amazing, the staff is very friendly and the spa treatments are really good. But that’s about it, the rest is a disaster, incredibly expensive and NOT a 5-star hotel. I went there to relax for a few days, it was impossible to relax anywhere.
