If you are looking for a place to completely relax and unwind- this is it. Hammocks are dotted throughout the beautiful gardens set on a hilltop overlooking the beach with views of Mt Kinabalu.

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.

The host is friendly, informative, responsive and helpful. We were surprised they gifted us a cake, and present for our new year celebration. The facilities are all great especially the kitchenettes are fully provided. The environment was great, especially the villa we booked was close to the beach and the sound of waves from the ocean was peaceful and soothing. It was a good place to relax and enjoy the holiday.
