Top Gaya Island Hotel Reviews

Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa

Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"Hotel was beautifully appointed, it is a little tired in some areas but it battles with high temperatures and blistering sun so to be expected, you could see they were maintaining it well and continually improving it. Rooms were large and well appointed. Air con was effective if a little loud, might be worth investing in some newer machines but like I said they were effective together with the room ceiling fans. Restaurants were excellent, great offering and all staff were so polite and very helpful. Resort does suffer from sandflies, which they do well to manage but they are evident in that geographical area."
