"Top mais be careful"

5.0

Le resort présente un paysage de carte postale idyllique avec un personnel formidable, des équipements topissimes et une nourriture exceptionnelle : des villas au top mais..

C’est la première fois que ma compagne et moi étaient contents de quitter un resort : les sandflies voraces qui vous poussent à vous couvrir de repellent h24, les macaques qui vous attaquent et vous poussent à avoir votre parapluie pour se protéger tout le temps, le sentiment d’enfermement: pas de chemin pour se promener dans la jungle, des navettes bateaux rares et prohibitives … aucun information préalable n est fournie. Max 3 nuits ! On avait pris 5. On a regretté. (Le tigre peluche c’est sensé repoussé les singes)

"Great relaxation, wonderful natural environment, beautiful beach"

9.0

Excellent breakfast, location is great, beach is nice and quiet, personnel extremely nice

Sun flies on the beach limit the freedom to walk, the staff recommend to use a special oil but it doesn't help 100%. Tide is bringing some debris on the beach which could have cleaned a bit better

"Paradise found in Sabah"

10.0

What an amazingly beautiful and well run place, where every need and more is catered for. Had been looking forward staying here since booked and didn’t expect to have expectations exceed but the place and the incredibly attentive, professional, friendly and above all humble staff managed it (especially Haary😉). Read reviews and really don’t understand any of the negative episodes - seem impossible from our recent experience, photos on any webpage DO NOT do it justice either, simply stunning and well maintained throughout. Plenty of wildlife encounter to be had in the edge of the jungle, large Monitor Lizards on patrol, hornbills seen and definitely heard! Wild boars making night tone appearances, mischievous long tailed macaques, even saw a sake or two (not poisonous)!! Snorkelled with many beautiful fish in large shoals, saw spotted rays, baby reef sharks, cuttlefish - my wife was also fortunate enough to swim with a green turtle, but very elusive generally. And found Nemo😉 Overall amazing 7 days spent at Bungaraya, thank you so much everyone from Carl the manager to Haary at the Pantai restaurant to the polite ground staff, room cleaners and everyone else we came into contact with, superb.

"Stunning hotel with a few small issues"

8.0

This is a beautiful hotel with a charming rustic boutique feel, set in a stunning location with crystal-clear beaches and fantastic snorkelling—sharks and turtles just off the shore. The rooms are tucked into the rainforest and offer lovely views, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. While the staff are warm and friendly, the service is noticeably slow. Waiting over 40 minutes for drinks is unacceptable. The food however is delicious, but also takes a long time to arrive. The biggest downside was the sandflies. Despite using the repellent provided, we were covered in itchy bites that lingered well after our stay. It's a serious issue that you should consider when choosing to stay in this area. I’d urge the hotel to consider more proactive and more effective way of managing these pests as it impacts the overall experience of the stay. That said, this hotel is still a gem with some of the best food we had during our trip. Just be prepared for the bugs and the slow pace.
