Amazing resort at a really affordable price. Having a resort, in the middle of nowhere, facing a private beach but enjoining 4 different restaurants/menus, 10-15 different activities and a Spa is priceless. We did activities like kayaking in the mangrove, snorkeling in a different island, massage in the spa, Omakase dinner, fine dinning... everything was great! Staff is amazing, always willing to help and making things easy!

Lovely property! Really comfortable beds and great amenities in the room. The decor is lovely. Nice big bath tub and shower. Two pools, a gym and a massive open space with benches and hammocks to enjoy. Very clean. Love the fridge which has free soft drinks and water for guests. Everything you need is available. The staff are really friendly and helpful and are always available by WhatsApp. Perfect location too in the Imago mall where there are tons of nice restaurants and lots of shops. Quiet and peaceful once inside. I’ve stayed in many hotels in Kota Kinabalu and this is by far the best!

An amazing location - wonderful views over the bay from our very nice room. We loved seeing the monkeys, hornbills, monitor lizards and geckos. The staff were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed spending time at the simple private beach a short boat ride away. Make sure you arrive at Jesselton Point at least an hour before your speedboat leaves as they check you in there and it can take ages. Evening dining is either a fish restaurant, a Japanese restaurant or a bewilderingly large buffet.

Amazing stay at the resort over 2 nights. The staff and service is absolutely next level. Made us feel so welcome. The food was delicious. Plenty of activities to fill up 3 days for the family. Special acknowledgement to the host Anof, Richie and Showwell and chef Jonathan. Keep up good work guys

The staff are exceptional. The variety of food is amazing. Facilities were in good condition and easily accessible. I expected we may be able to hike a few trails on the island but this was not possible. It surprised me for such a relaxed place that you needed more formal attire (trousers, closed shoes and collared shirt for) for one of the restaurants. We weren’t prepared for that. Sunset cruise was brief but great

- The hotel and its surroundings were really beautiful and clearly very well cared for by the staff. The staff were really knowledgeable about the wildlife in the area - Snorkelling just off the beach and seeing so many fish was really cool, could pop to and from the pool to snorkel when needed - The hotel staff were all so friendly and really helpful throughout the whole trip - The satay and the local breakfast options were really well done and the food in general was to a high quality

The free kayaking and snorkeling was amazing, so much marine life to see around the hotel. The monitor lizards swimming where amazing. Definitely worth going to the ecology centre on site. You can touch a sea cucumber and starfish and see more of the marine life up close. Staff were really friendly and lovely different places to sit in the shade. We had a rainforest room which was more private than the water front rooms and still very easy to walk from the room straight into the sea.

We loved our stay on Gaya Island. The rooms are massive with beautiful bathrooms, ours had an amazing view. Nice toiletries and robe and other little touches in the room. The food was excellent, the buffet and both the restaurants had a great selection which was all delicious. We really enjoyed the private beach and the snorkelling, it was gorgeous with lots of fish. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We loved it!
