"We had an amazing time at Gaya Island Resort. It is a luxury resort with great food and drinks, comfortable rooms, and incredible views/proximity to the ocean. Worth noting is that this is in a nature reserve, surrounded by jungle and ocean, and the resort embraces and supports this, which means coexisting with wildlife. You can walk out from the resort beach to their own protected reef and swim with dozens of species of beautiful fish (equipment is available for free). We didnโt see any snakes,...

Room is showing its age but it should return to its glory days with minor touch up.
Service was excellent, especially front staff!
Would recommend dining at fishermenโs cove - fresh food, excellent service and nice ambience to wind down the day.

Came here with my Husband & Parents (no kids) & we had a great time! Beautiful surroundings & excellent food! The extremely nice staff made us feel very welcome. The only downsides were the trash from the ocean & the sand flies - both of which are no fault of the resort! They give out natural bug repellent & clean the beach every morning. We had a lovely time here!

The staff were extremely helpful and attentive!. They even have powerbanks and charging cables in e room. It's also near to the airport so if you do not want to hear aeroplanes then may nt work for you.

The owner was friendly and helpful. Contacted me a few days before my trip thru whatsapp, and even allow me to check-in earlier as the room was ready.
The place is close to the coastal area of KK city and walking distance to a few shopping malls and the night market.
Clean and neat place. Would recommend to others!

Very helpful and responsive staff. Anything you need and if they can help, they'll help immediately.
Neighbourhood a bit dodgy in the night but it's safe and quiet inside.
They have hbo go so you can watch your favourite movies.
Nice that they have powerbank you can use when you go out.
Rooms are very small but cosy. Shower is see thru from the little room.

Out of all the resorts I have stayed in the world, they are really my top few favorite picks. There is a number of things to do at the resort, it was never enough time to utilize the facilities.The Borneo Spa feels like you stepped into paradise. If there is a place you would like to recharge, this would be it. Looking forward to my next visit.
