"Ein wunderbarer Ort mit professionellen Tauchlehrern"

10.0

Ein einzigartiges Resort! Als Flugbegleiterin habe ich schon in vielen Hotels übernachtet, aber noch nie so viel Herzlichkeit erlebt. Die Tauchlehrer/ in sind herausragend. Sehr professionell! Der Koch und das Küchenteam sind fantastisch. Alle Mitarbeiter machen einen großartigen Job.In kürzester Zeit fühlt man sich zu Hause , besser geht es nicht. Ich werde diese Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen!

"Paisible et magnifique"

9.0

La tranquillité et le personnel vraiment adorable et le cuisinier qui fait tout son possible pour satisfaire la clientèle.

RAS...si ce n'est les détritus qui arrivent par la mer! Mais ça, ce n'est pas la faute de Bigfin.

"Great place to relax!"

10.0

Everything ! The beauty of the place,even the details with the planting of flowers and plants. Food was very good. Very kind staff. Everything day, a man cleans the beach! So ok there is just electricity between 5 pm and 9 pm , but it is written in the description ! So why complain after?! We loved it there! Great atmosphere ! Not for people looking for a five star resort! But for simple people who want to enjoy nature.

Nothing !

"Relaxing in a beautiful environment"

10.0

This small-scale resort has it all. In a relaxing environment. You're offered a beautiful view of the bay. With it's in house diving facility or by snorkeling, you're able to explore the underwater world as you like. The rooms are basic adjusted to the remote location. They serve a simple breakfast, and lunch/dinner buffet.

10.0

Location is unreal! Feels like you’re own private beach in Borneo with a view of Mount Kinabalu and crystal clear waters. Diving available, and good home cooked simple meals to keep you fed it’s such a perfect little escape and getaway. Rooms are comfortable and everyone is so nice and friendly, we debated staying longer and longer until we couldn’t anymore!

Nothing, Bigfin is excellent and I’d recommend to anyone whether here on a holiday or like us travelling through and exploring as you go.

"An amazing getaway."

10.0

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.
