Stayed there for a week with my family during Christmas. The view and the beach are spectacular. The children had a great time at the pool and the beach. It is a great hotel if you traveled with young children. However, the room is on the dated side and the food options are limited. Overall, our family had a wonderful... More

Takes more than an hour to reached from Kota Kinabalu. Upon reaching there you will immediately feel overwhelmed by the sight and aroma of the open sea. Stayed there a few nights to relax and enjoy what the resort has to offer. Everything seems perfect for a real holiday with the rest of the holiday makers and golfers around us.... More

Hotel Marigold - if you have seen the movie, then this is the best way to describe this place. Clearly in its day, this was a fantastic hotel. 9or so restaurants, kids club, pools, beach views, bars, golf club. It sounds amazing, but unfortunately you will be bitterly disappointed. The staff try hard, but when you just get the feeling... More

I have stayed here before and the experience was only so-so, but this recent stay has changed my mind. The pool villa had a great view of the secluded beach, service was polite and helpful, and the food selection has seen the greatest improvement. There is now a dedicated restaurant, Lanai, next to the villas and suites, with a nice... More

Have stayed here before but the standards have dropped. The grounds and golf course are in poor condition. The food at breakfast was a very poor standard. The whole hotel seems so rundown in fact while we were there they closed a restaurant because they had no chef.The sand flies were a major problem.

I think this my first negative review ever. We spent 2 nights at the Nexus Suites and had to change rooms 3 times. The first room we were given presented partially cleaned with dirty towels still lying around from the previous guests, half drunk water bottles and used soaps in the sink. The second room featured a falling out shower... More

We spent 3 days here and as far as i'm concerned it was paradise! We had booked a Borneo garden room and as many people before us, we asked if we could have a free upgrade to an ocean view room. Well, no problem there, we got one and it was so lovely - an uninterrupted view of the sea... More

This hotel was my accommodation during my trip, it was situated with a little bit distance from the town, but with great view.

Although the resort is far away from the town, it is just perfect for those wish to have a quiet holiday. We booked the spa suite, which is a distance from the main lobby, but this is not the issue as you can just make a call, the bell boy can drop you anywhere as you wish at any time.... More

The hotel is situated far away from the town. When we first arrive, the hotel's staffs greeted us politely and helped us unload our luggage.
