Gayana Marine Resort

It was a very relax resort with gorgeous scenery. Serve nice food and great place for snorkelling. However, on the last day, there was a little disappointment on our breakfast as our order was somehow left out and we were not informed. We waited for more than half an hour till we approached them. Abd was told that the breakfast buffet was closed.

Gayana Eco resort is definitely worth a visit. The staff are amazingly friendly and helpful and the service is brilliant. The room was clean and fresh (possibly in need of some updating). The location is exciting and the food is good. The water is crystal clear if you miss the rain and wind. Sadly bad weather brings with it an huge amount of rubbish in the water. The experiences they offer are varied, but perhaps a little overrated as they don't have enough kit, guides or boats. There wasn't enough entertainment for kids on rainy days (only a pool table)

Loved that we could just jump in the water from our bungalow.

Good and peaceful, no people at all ~ with a nice clean sea

We stayed at Gayana Marine Resort after our trip to Sarawak specifically for the scuba and snorkeling. After having done a fair amount of hiking and visiting sightseeing spots across Sarawak, we were really looking forward to some fun water sports to beat the heat. Unfortunately, the diving instructor had his day off on the day we were at the resort and they didn't have any substitute in his place. In addition, it's jellyfish season and there are massive jellyfish all around the area where you're allowed to snorkel / swim so getting in to the water was a complete no-no unless you were okay to take the risk of being stung by a jellyfish, which we weren't since we still had 2 more destinations post our stay at Gayana. This was extremely disappointing because it was the sole reason we decided to stay at the resort. I don't understand why it isn't mentioned on their site. In addition, the place is ridiculously overpriced. One of the manager's was on the ferry with us on the way from KK to Gaya Island and told us the Chinese restaurant at the resort was the best in the world. Well I must say it was good but nowhere close to being anywhere among the top restaurants in the world, not to forget how overpriced it is. The food and service at their bar and poolside restaurant were just about average. Before we got to Borneo, I got in touch with the property informing them about our arrival and departure time. The strange thing is their ferry is free only if you check-in between 1:30PM

a truly lovely resort that is very well run. Food is outstanding, facilities well maintained and staff service exceptional in all aspects. The marine research centre adds a unique interest. Unfortunately the surounding marine waters are plagued by plastic pollution and infestations of jellyfish.

Five star prices for a two star resort. The facilities claim to be something they are not. Our Rainforest villa backed on to a cliff sparsely covered with trees. No drinking water was in the room. The plug socket fell out when we pulled out plugs. Door latch wouldn’t close without key. The small beach fronting the pool is dirty with rubbish. Staff agreed the dangerous monkey that was eating ginger behind the bar was a menace a threat to customers. No internet in the room despite adverts for Wi-fi. Staff corrected water, plug and Wi-fi and we’re helpful. Pool needs thorough clean and resort looks generally very tired. Breakfast was excellent. Feel of the resort could be so much better. Massively over priced and felt thoroughly disappointed by the experience.

We got to this resort in the middle of the night, arranged a boat for pickup - everything was fine. We checked-in and they even prepared us sandwiches - everything was great. The rooms were a little disappointing. They look dirtier in real life - we overlooked it. The next day is when things took a turn for the worst. They don't tell you it's JELLYFISH season - nowhere do they have a sign in the room, the only pamphlet they had in the room was for LUNAR NEW YEAR dinner in February - we went in MARCH! There's also no pamphlet of the activities they offer, you have to go to the activity center or call the front desk for it. AND they only tell you about the jellyfish IFFFF you go to the activity center. Next, they warn you about the monkeys. Nice right? No. They don't tell you or have a paper at least in each room for instructions on how to deal with monkeys when you are approached by one. Fine, let's use common sense when you see one right? EXCEPT, I was sunbathing with my mom on the balcony (we got ocean view) and two monkeys came down, grabbed my bags and were rummaging through. Fine, take whatever, except THEY FLASH THEIR SHARP TEETH AT YOU AND HISS AT YOU if you even slightly move. FURTHERMORE, there was a worker who saw what happened, and instead of getting help, he just left - not his problem. My sister in the room called the front desk SEVERAL TIMES and all they said was they were sending security over - WE WERE OUT THERE FOR OVER 10 MINUTES. THE MONKEYS HAD US COR

i do not recommend to stay in this resort... but the quality of restaurant is good

very good. kindly staff and excellent landscape. I saw Clownfish.
