Me and my husband travelled Sabah this year to celebrate our birthday's at Bungaraya Island Resort 3D2N. The check in was very smooth and all our luggage was taken care from Jesselton Point Jetty and straight to our room. On our arrival we received this delicious welcoming drinks rose syrup juice then we were introduced to our personal assistant. The villa's on the island are very spacious with large balconies, the rooms were clean and very comfortable. I like the hospitality and how the staff and workers was well trained, so helpful, polite and friendly. All the staff are well welcoming. Nice location with private beach. It was so nice to stay with nature around all the time. The swimming pool was good enough for kids and adults. Wildlife all around. I would definitely recommend this resort to anyone who needs a break from our hectic business lives.

    The scenery was beautiful and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. There was an unforeseen issue with our room which they were very good about. The two restaurants were wonderful - the teppanyaki evening was superb and highly recommend. The snorkelling was decent and the kayaking was fun although you can just use the same equipment around the resort without cost.

    The views from our villa of the sea and beach were outstanding. The room had been set up beautifully for our 25th wedding anniversary. Lovely pool which was cleaned daily. Staff were very friendly and always willing to help. Wildlife was present around the resort - monkeys snd monitor lizards.

    Amazing stay at a paradise resort. The only down side was the mosquitoes in the room at night having a feast on you. Please add mosquito net to the beds.

    You really pay for the location. Everything else is way overpriced for what you get. The pool is very nice, even being in the sun until 3PM. Beautiful coral reef just in front of the resort where you can snorkel for free and the jungle is right behind the resort where you can spot several wildlife

    Wonderful staycation, food and rooms! Truly relaxing and bliss. Shoutout to the resort for doing a lot to preserve and refurbish the environment, corals and beaches around the island! The hotel staff were also super accomodating of us being vegetarians and made effort to add extra options to the buffet breakfast which was a very kind gesture!
