My family and I stayed at GIR for 2 nights and had a great time. The rooms were enormous (complete with separate areas for walk in robes, bathtub, shower, toilet). Room amenities were excellent, with bug spray and ointment for insect bites. Our rooms had fantastic views across the sea to Mt Kinabalu, beautiful to watch the sunrise every morning. The staff were all very friendly and attentive to our needs. We will absolutely be back again. Thank your GIR for a great time!
I loved almost everything. The property and rooms were spectacular. pool was beautiful and the food was fantastic.
The only thing I didn't absolutely love - mattress softness, having to rent watersports equipment rather than it being included
