Bigfin beach resort

Location is fantastic. Arriving by taxi and being picked up directly on the beach by boat. Could not be better and a contrast to busy KK.

A little bit hot at night without air condition, but I got used to it. Some small insects was found at the bathroom, but it is by the jungle :)

Location Workers

With this review, I want to be as fair as possible. BigFin isn't a grand resort; don't expect luxury, but it does have everything you need to enjoy a few days of tranquility. After our visit, I conclude that it's an ideal place for diving, but nothing more. The variety in the food is practically nonexistent; during the four nights we stayed, we had the same breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For the price we paid, I think it's ridiculous to eat chicken and rice every day. They don't offer snacks at night. We went snorkeling, and having done so in other parts of Malaysia, I found it expensive and not up to par. On the other hand, the staff is very polite, friendly, and helpful at all times. I hope they can improve with this review because they really do have excellent staff and facilities, but there are many details that could be improved. After spending four nights, it's not a place I would return to.

The location is so beautiful isolated. Wonderful!

-The location is unique, literally. Isolated but not too remote, with a perfect beach, surrounded by superb jungle (and its sounds) -infrastructure is in line with what can be expected for the price (reasonable). No airco and limited power, mosquito nets, fans, adequately ventilated rooms.... with superb views!!!!! (On mount K). In fact, infrastructure is adapted to the environment and that creates also the experience - food is great (and included) - staff is very nice , without exception. Love & kindness - diving is great, and other activities are possible I liked it so much that I d come to Sabah only for that place..... Congratulations to the owners for creating this environment and the experience it offers, with their team, and being able to maintain this over time.... 🙌

Nothing,

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.

No gripes whatsoever, though I did wonder why access to the beach is barred overnight, starting from 7 or 8 pm.

Absolutely everything. I can’t fault it at all. It was even better in person than in the pictures, i LOVED it and was sad to leave. I loved the staff too, learning to dive with them was incredible and im so happy to have the memories

The no electricity during the day was a little inconvenient but that’s also the fault of the government for not investing in Borneo, not the resort

The location was perfect - a beautiful bay in a secluded little spot . Staff were really friendly and great food ( not fancy but lovely )

Not a problem for us but steel steeps if you are a little wobbly on your feet.

Great experience, beautiful remote location and everyone was really friendly. We also did two discovery dives, which were also great.
