"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 didn’t see any snakes,...

1. The Oceanus Shopping Mall is not fully operational. However the 3 convenient-marts along the corridor did help.
2. The bathroom walk-in closet is fantastic. More lighting in shower and vanity area will help in attending ourselves. Sofa and carpet looks pretty aged. It will be good if there’s a sofa cover (washable) to rest on, feeling more fresh and comfortable. The tv top quarter screen illumination is dark-shaded, uneven one-sided brightness. But tv channels are pretty fantastic. The...

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 fishermen’s 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!

My friend and I visited for 4 days, the staff were so kind and helpful and would do anything for us. Very relaxed environment, great breakfast and really good food in general, nice swimming pools, cosy rooms and beautiful views. Very easy to get to Kota Kinabalu city via local bus or taxi and pnly takes about 15 mins. I would certainly recommend to a friend to stay here.
