Beach Hotels in Kota Belud

Two thumbs up. This place is so well run and maintained. All staff are so kind, helpful and reliable. There is no pressure whatsoever to book any of the tours. The staff are completely open about what they do and don't offer, so no unpleasant surprises - all is exactly as advertised. I had prepared to be pretty much cut off from the world for the 3 days of my stay, but to my pleasant surprise Wifi was solid all day in the reception area and the evening hours of power supply in the rooms easily sufficed to keep my devices charged. Assorted books and board games add to the character of the place, as do the adorable cats and, yes, the two or three monitor lizards seen around. The hammocks were comfortable and in ample supply. Beautiful and tranquil garden setting, fabulous views, awesome stretch of near-private beach with lovely fine sand. And to experience all that without any noise from road traffic? Just an unforgettable experience.

Super friendly host, excellent food, unique location (privacy guaranteed!)

Cannot beat this location! Wish we had longer. Great place to rest and relax.

We spent there a wonderful week. The beach, the food, cosiness all felt like paradise. We chose it for diving and were more than delighted. The staff and the owner were friendly, helpful and warmhearted. We are recommending Dolphin Bay for everyone, especially for ones who needs deep rest in paradise. PS. There were plenty of dogs that were very friendly and sweet.
