thumbs down!
the room was infested with cockroaches. This is despite the overpowering smell of mothballs. And we were bitten by bed bugs! On the plus side, we were driven to the restaurant as we couldn't hail a car.

Nice place but little things to improve...
Overall the place was beautiful and the suite is nice and clean. The only dissappointment is few of the room electrical appliances are old and broke. During my staycation, the master room aircond was not working well, it was hot in the room and really not comfortable sleeping during the night. Not forgetting the ceiling fan in the next room was broken at 4a.m the next morning, there was this burnt smell and looks like small fire/sparks on the fan. The rest is okay, but if the kitchen appliances can be improve it would be really good. There were no rice cooker during our staycation(need to request but 1st come 1st serve basis), the frying pan cannot be use since got scratch on it, the pot also rusty, only these two cooking pan and pot available other than the dish set. If you want to consider staying here, make sure to bring your own drinking water, cooking appliances, and to check every eletrical appliances wether working well or not during check-in. Ohh and bring your own towel! ***Please change ALL the old things that will be use by your guest, or else lower your price. Sincerely, From your loyal guest.

An Absolutely Lovely Hotel!
This is a great hotel! I really loved the fact that the hotel has an excellent view of the beach and the sunset, and we could watch the beach and the sea from the living room and bedroom. It is a lovely hotel to get away from it all. I wasn't bothered by the fact that it was far from town as I came to walk along the beach. Further, I also came prepared with food. The hotel provides a free shuttle service to the nearest town at 10am and 3pm, and I feel that it is really nice. We can have lunch or early dinner there, or bring back food and fruits to be eaten at the hotel. I will definitely come back!

The villa condition is very disappointing with the price. •There’re too many flies during our stay due to the season the staff said. •The master room’s bed is broken we have to sleep in opposite side. •The glass door (living room & master bedroom) was too hard to open and close. We have to access by the pool or front entrance. •I never experience a resort which listed as “Sabah Luxury Resort” went to blackout and we asked the staff they said they doesn’t have any backup electricity *speechless* •Need a lot of improvements as a ‘luxury resort’ its not cheap for us to pay for a night with such disappointing stays. Please improve your service.

The resort is located beautifully on the beach and during May, the place is nice and quiet. If you were there during the peak season, it would be very (too) packed, especially around the swimming pool. The beach is beautiful and kept clean (cleaner than Nexis up the road). The breakfast in the morning was very nice, especially the vegetarian curry and roti bread (11 out of 10 for taste). Ensure you have Malaysian money as they may not be able to change money for you The city is up to an hour away in peak driving time so plan ahead if going out. There is a courtesy bus that takes you to a local supermarket to but supplies Rooms are clean but the toilet at times doesn't work. The balcony rails need replacing due to rust. Staff are very nice, especially the owner/manager who was able to change money for me

Nice beautiful tranquil beach good for sunset viewing and very comfortable fully equipped one room two bathrooms with separated living room unit. The connected bathroom is a big spa/steam bathroom. Food option are limited within and around the area. Advice is to pack your food and beverage supplies and enjoy the stay!

The room was very spacious for us, a family of four. Our room was a little outdated as far as cosmetics, like our balcony railing was rusty. They have two swimming pools that were really clean. The beach is huge with hardly anyone there. It felt private it was so nice. During high tide there is hardly any beach, but perfect time to hit the pools. All the employees are extremely friendly and helpful. It would have been nicer to have the pools open a little later with lights. The property is about 40 mins from the city center and about 5 miles from closest outdoor mall, so the resorts restaurant is the closest restaurant around. The food was good, but extremely expensive compared to restaurants in the city. A cup of regular coffee costs 4 to 5 US dollars. The front desk was always super helpful. They helped set us up with our tours. They also have free shuttles to the outdoor mall at 10am and 3pm. The local outdoor mall has a grocery store and eateries that included KFC and Pizzahut. They do not deliver to the resort though.
