Porter not efficient upon arrival
Gaya Island is a short boat ride from Kota Kinabalu. The Marine resort only has boat journeys at set times of the day. Upon arrival at the boat terminal we had to wait an hour for a scheduled departure. For a nominal sum you can arrange a private boat to take you. Contact the hotel directly to arrange. ...
The view of the resort is great, room is clean. The bed is uncomfortable to sleep.
Amazing views and beautiful bay and snorkling.
