"Great place with nice rooms and beautiful view (both to Mt Kinabalu and Kota Kinabalu). Standard Malaysian breakfast and decent lunch and dinner menu. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room (104) was very good although there are a few ants around (so make sure not to leave food around). Bed, shower and toilet were nice and clean. Internet worked quite well (not guaranteed in this area). Our best place in Sabah so far (out of 6 good hotels)."

"We had an amazing time at Gaya Island Resort. It is a luxury resort with great food and drinks, comfortable rooms, and incredible views/proximity to the ocean. Worth noting is that this is in a nature reserve, surrounded by jungle and ocean, and the resort embraces and supports this, which means coexisting with wildlife. You can walk out from the resort beach to their own protected reef and swim with dozens of species of beautiful fish (equipment is available for free). We didn’t see any snakes,...

This is a fabulous resort. The villas are spacious and nicely turned out. The setting is amazing - forest on on side, beach on the other. The restaurant/pool bar is excellent and the staff were uniformly wonderful. There are plenty of options in terms of activities - as well as a private beach that the hotel will boat you to.
The drawback - the price. It is not cheap. At all! And perhaps some things (eg the speedboat that the hotel uses to get you to the hotel) are really overpriced,...

If you looking for some place is clean, clear water, private, safe environment and served by a group of nice/warm/polite staffs, this is it. I thought I would be coming to this island only once, but yes I will come for another time if there is a chance!
Thanks Gayana Marine Resort! You guys made me and my wife trip a great one👍
