"Lovely first stop on our trip around Borneo. Would recommend for a few nights but be prepared for the daily masses of da"

7.0

Beautiful setting on island resort. Perfect way to start our trip in Borneo. Comfortable villa by the beach, delicious food in restaurant and very friendly staff

There is a constant stream of boat bringing day trippers to the island. Many come for snorkelling but also lots for Instagram pictures, which is entertaining in itself to watch. There is a separate beach for paying guests however many of the day trippers also use this. Quite a bit of litter in the sea/beach but we collected what we could each time we went for a swim and left it on the beach….the staff then collect each night.

"Amazing location, annoying day trippers"

8.0

Amazing location, lovely room. Unfortunately it's sold as having a beach for guests only, this isn't the case. The island is flooded with tourists on day trips, they spill out onto the private beach in search of the perfect insta photo. The resort needs to do more to keep this a private beach instead of a half arsed attempt

"Mixed bag - good points and bad"

7.0

Room lovely. Food ok, would have preferred more choice for dinner

Beach was chaos regarding the security and the beds, flagging system rubbish for guests accomodation. Staff sit on their backsides whilst the guests fish rubbish from the sea, lots of plastic and bottles. Bins are full on the beach and not emptied. Beer price and happy hour non existent, £7 approx half lager. Only choice of ,2 lagers despite extensive list on bar. Only one restaurant which was outdoors and when the weather was windy and rainy, no shelter. Plus it is where visitors to the island go for lunch and guests, the cushions are not changed between lunchtime and evening, not worth getting dressed up for. Second restaurant (indoors) is being renovated. No turn down service during all of the stay. Stairs to hillside rooms precarious, especially when wet. No facilities for a late check out, no courtesy room, you have to use the public shower etc. no consideration for guests with long journeys home, very, very poor.
