The Beachaven Chalets, Kota Belud

Excellent place to relax in peace just on the beach, in privacy, detoxing from the stress, e-mails and crowds. We have enjoyed the magnificent view over the sea, relaxing on the beach, reading books in the hammock, going on kayak to the nearby island and snorcheling. We also loved sleeping in the outside bed feeling just the sea breeze and waves! We had excellent communication with the owner arranging the transportation by taxi and by a little boat, the local staff is also very kind!

The small houses directly on the beach were beautiful, the location top. There is a bed on the terrace where we slept and that was great. The food was tasty.

The food is charged extra, which is expensive by local standards. There is no choice, the quantities are not particularly large, and the drinks are extra. The transfer by boat is absolutely badly organised. The boat is much too small. We arrived at low tide, had to carry our 20 kg suitcases 500 m to the boat and also drag them through 80 cm deep water over corals to the beach when we arrived in the bay. The result was wet suitcases and wet clothes inside.

Locatie! Food from natacha The other boys young staff

Money Rez Worse matras ever

Beautiful location, 4 huts on a small private beach that is cleaned. Weather permitting you can snorkel and take the canoe to Pandan Pandan. Good place to chill for a couple of days.

Our room (max 4 people) was behind another one and had no through wind from the sea. That made it unbearably hot during the night (even with the one fan that needed to cool all beds). With mosquito nets down it was even hotter and with the nets up we were 'eaten alive'. So after two sleepless nights we decided to leave 2 days early (and there were too many jellyfish in the sea to swim, because of the storm). Food portions were too huge, more quantity than quality. (Advise: make it cheaper with smaller porions)

Absolutely stunning location. Beautiful escape to relax and enjoy the views. Very friendly & helpful staff who provide plenty tea, coffee, juice & water if requested. Day beds are fabulous for relaxing on and there are a few loungers, swings and hammocks too. The team kept the beach & chalets very clean.

The food was very similar each meal, a bit more variety would be appreciated. Lack of AC made it very hot at night, although good fans are provided and if the door and/or window is left open a nice breeze helps cool the room.

This place is a little paradise. Perfect to disconnect after a roadtrip around Bornéo . Nice beach, very nice chalets. 3 chalets only so it is very intimate. Food is really good & fresh (thank you Chef). Good staff and very nice cats ;)

Communication before our arrival was really awesome but once arrived it was sometimes complicated. This could be improved.

location was AMAZING sea was CLEANEST we’ve seen in Sabah fresh food GOOD complementary soft drinks and coffee APPRECIATED no WiFi so we RELAXED & enjoyed the surroundings

communication mix up regarding our taxi for return journey . we were not given information on arrival about the property , costs , choices etc

The place is wonderful, private and the view is marvelous. We have a little problem with the room and water pressure when we reached there but it being fix instantly. The staff was helpful and even their manager Natasha comes from KK to check if everything is in order. The service and hospitality by the host is very good. We loved the scenery, . My family have a good time with nature and also the Cats there is so cute and taken care well . Overall, if you want a private event with your family, connect with nature and the sea this is the perfect place to go.. They using solar DC so make sure your HP charge full and bring a power bank before coming. It's a very friendly and sustainability environment.. Will we come again? InshaAllah highly recommended.

The breakfast could be more variety but it's ok.

At first I was a bit skeptical because the place is quiet isolated and there’s no Wi-Fi in your room, but I quickly started to love this place for exactly these reasons. This place is wonderful and the best way to relax in nature with a wonderful view. The beach is very beautiful and clean, you can go to many areas by boat during the day, and the staff is so nice and will help you out with anything. They are going out of their way to ensure you’ll have a good time here.

There’s nothing I didn’t like, but maybe if there’s one thing they could improve it’s to actually not provide you with excess tea, coffee and food all the time. I could hardly finish my tea and food because I got a whole big kettle and giant meals, they could maybe invest in smaller tea kettles and save some of their resources a bit to decrease excessive food waste.
