This villa is located directly at the beach with an amazing view. You have your own veranda, sun beds and a pool. Inside it is spacious, very clean and with a beautiful interior. Nathan our host was lovely, warm and welcoming. He helped us with everything we needed - be it laundry, a transportation, backbacks storage or recommendation for food or sightseeing. Thank you for this wonderful stay. We enjoyed it very much and can highly recommend it.

Was upgraded to King Suite.. by far the biggest and most comfortable hotel room I've ever stayed in! Do yourself a favour and book the King Suite.. you will absolutely feel like a king/queen. Excellent gym and pool facilities, food menu and cocktails were stellar.

AC Residence is just amazing! The location is perfect within walking distances of a lot of restaurants and bars. The room is very clean and has an AC that works really well, also the shower is a one of a kind! The staff of AC residence is incredibly helpful, they respond really quick and they help you with all sorts of issues (for example laundry, extending your stay or giving you tips on where to go and what to do!). Amazing, highly recommend!

-The location is unique, literally. Isolated but not too remote, with a perfect beach, surrounded by superb jungle (and its sounds) -infrastructure is in line with what can be expected for the price (reasonable). No airco and limited power, mosquito nets, fans, adequately ventilated rooms.... with superb views!!!!! (On mount K). In fact, infrastructure is adapted to the environment and that creates also the experience - food is great (and included) - staff is very nice , without exception. Love & kindness - diving is great, and other activities are possible I liked it so much that I d come to Sabah only for that place..... Congratulations to the owners for creating this environment and the experience it offers, with their team, and being able to maintain this over time.... 🙌

Although it was a bit further out from Kuching city the peaceful surrounding and essentially private beach was great. As long as you have a car there’s no issues getting around this area of Borneo. It’s a great concept as well!

Cafe was very good and well priced. Great view. Careful with mosquitoes. Best to wear long pants in that area. Liked all the walkways and natural pool was refreshing. The ocean beaches great and no crocs. We saw lots of monkeys and some birds and butterflies in the jungle by our cabin.

There are 3 different pools (Toddler, kids and adult). My son enjoys the water play area and beach very much. The sunset in the evening is superb. There is a fire dance show on Thursday which is so amazing.
