First & foremost, biggest compliments to the housekeeping team! We arrived in our villa around 2pm, went out around 4, and only returned at night after dinner to find: a mosquito coiled lit outside our door, bed has been made, coffee cups washed, rubbish bin cleared, how thoughtful!
The sight of the sea from the resort was superb, enhanced by the good weather. The welcome drink of calamansi juice with plum, aka Kitchai Ping as it’s known locally, was as good as my mom’s.
We initially intended to have the weekend hi-tea, but apparently it had to be pre-booked at least a day before. Thanks to that we got to enjoy happy hour instead, before having the weekend BBQ dinner that we managed to book a slot upon arrival. Bartender gave us extra kicks in our cocktails, thank you for taking our relaxation up a notch!
However we seemed to be unlucky with food serving. We booked for dinner at 6 but our happy hour session somehow made some miscommunications and delay. Food was good and a plenty, though we did notice satays were missing, but we were well fed. Breakfast order was also somewhat mixed up, kitchen must be overwhelmed with many guests, but we got what we wanted in the end.
Overall we are happy with our stay. We didn’t manage to explore the trails, perhaps we may return for a day trip in the future, and have that weekend hi-tea we missed.
Gaya Island Resort is a posh way to end a two-week trip of roughing it around Sabah.
Rooms are located in exotic tropical setting, with wildlife nearby. Activities are fun way to explore the island, especially the night walk, when we saw snakes and lizards.
Swimming is relaxing at the pool but not so great in the sea unless you are snorkeling or kayaking. Not too much plastic in the water but it still plagues even this beautiful setting.
Note that once you arrive on the island, you are pretty much isolated from Kota Kinabalu unless you want to pay extra for a boat ride.
We stayed 2 nights and had a fantastic stay despite the bad weather on the first day. We received great services from the resort management team Mr Karl, Ms Siti, Mdm Lydia also from the restaurant and recreational team members. We look forward to be back again!
Booked the family suite that is beautifully furnished and got a fantastic view of Mt Kinabalu from the room as well as variety of fishes swimming below us.
Snorkelling and kayaking are complimentary for the entire day and was great way for us to explore the beautiful waters.
On the last day, we unfortunately left our tablet in the room and we were notified immediately upon arrival at the jetty and the resort arranged it to be delivered to their jetty office within the same afternoon.
Overall it was a great experience and the welcoming and departure greetings by the management team were certainly memorable and beyond our expectations!

The location was great and the staff super friendly. A part of the beach was reserved for hotel guests and was not overcrowded. The team was trying its best to pick up all plastic in the morning from the beach but unfortunately during the day more was coming. People should take more care themselves.
You can go snorkeling at the beach but to arrive the corals you need to wait for the tide and have to be a good swimmer. Then it’s beautiful out there.
The breakfast was great and a good combination between buffet and menu.
Overall we can recommend it for 2 nights. Don’t forget your mosquito repellent and bites relief.
We saw several Gerrys;) - beautiful creatures.
The rooms are definitely not comparable to those in the main city, but you can see that the hotel has tried its best to provide facilities. First of all, the celcom network is OK, but the hotlink is basically unusable. Secondly, the hotel's wifi, which only covers the lobby, is not very powerful. The hotel even provides mahjong, projection and chess for guests to kill time on the island. Breakfast and dinner are both buffets, which are enough to eat. There will be many guests on the island during the day, which is quite noisy, but the service staff are nice.

So far, for my one night stay, every aspect was excellent. The location of the hotel was strategic as I could go downstairs and roamed the mall, its also walking distance to Gaya Street. I was assigned to room 732. The furniture inside the room was functioning aside from the loud noise coming from the mini fridge, as I am a light sleeper, that bothers me a bit. The service is top notch, all the staff were friendly and accommodating to my needs. The breakfast was 5/5, they offer loads of variety 👍🏻. The only downside is that you need to wait awhile for the aircond to fully cool the room, around 15-20 minutes, I think they use central aircond from the lobby, but I'm not sure.

Nice place to stay in KK.. the room is clean & cozy but the floor a bit damp & felt sticky if you walk barefoot.. other than that everything was fine.. enjoyed the sea view from my room.. lots of dining places & the night market nearby was good.. service from Rose was smooth 👌👍

Good service offer over WhatsApp, swiftly response to answer my queries. Providing clear guide on how to do self check in, and returning keys. The room is clean and well maintained, spacious.
The only suggestion is why not providing WIFI, and the toilet ventilation can be improved, have no idea after toilet flushing, the sting smell stay.
Overall is good, especially good guidance and response. Ty!

Great value, good location, efficient staff. The place has been renovated recently, they do provide breakfast as an alternate option if required but it will be sort of like a bento set menu.
Will definitely come back again.
