Hotel berhampiran Tuaran Laya-Laya Firefly Rivercruise, Bahagian Pantai Barat

We spent 3 nights at Gaya Island Resort and had a great time, I thought I would write a review because there are a few things worth considering before you go. Firstly, the place itself is amazing, the staff are super friendly and caring - probably the most professional I have ever experienced in my many years of travelling. So all in all it was a wonderful stay. The things worth noting are as follows: 1. The sunbeds, I think may have mentioned it and it's worth mentioning again - there are nowhere near enough. When you pay and arm and a leg to stay at a beautiful resort it is annoying that they haven't found a way to add more sunbeds. People get there early, throw on their towels and stay or disappear and the seat is gone for the day. This is a solvable issue and the resort should so something about it. 2. Check in is after 3 - could be later - and it's not flexible, so if you are arriving earlier be prepared to sit around waiting for your room. It would be nice if they could flex a little as waiting hours for a room without your bags is not a joy, but it is what it is. 3. Eating - you are on the resort, so you are eating in one of their restaurants - no other options available. There are a few restaurants so not really a problem (we did the hot pot restaurant and it was great), but good to be aware. By far the most expensive places we ate in Malaysia, but I guess given the quality of the resort it wasn't a surprise and the main restaurant is reasonable enough. 4. Activities - my wife and daughter did the cooking class and loved it, we did the night walk - which was fun and me and my son did the coral garden. The Coral garden was fun and I was lucky to see a big old shark. However there is a large amount of plastic floating on the surface of the water that is quite concerning and makes the whole place not feel so clean. The corals and fish look healthy so may be fine, but be prepared to swim through bottles and crisp bags to see the fish. The local resorts and local authorities should really work together to resolve and you pay the tourist tax, so not sure where that's going, but not to plastic clearance by the look of it. Hope that's helpful. all in all, it's a beautiful place to stay, could just do with a tweak here and there to make it even better

Great resort. We stayed at ocean villa 30 for two nights. Well maintained and special place. The staff are truely amazing. A special thanks to Karl the resort manager for listining to our feedback and returning some good karma. Also many thanks to the restaurant chef for the best food we had so far in Malaysia. Some small improvements: - airconditioning is a bit too loud even in sleep mode to keep on during the night - during and after a tropical rainshower the plumbing could not take it anymore, we accept that, but not the smell it gave inside the room. The positive: - free water sports, kayak, subs - kayak to the mangrove, do it yourself - breakfast at your own jetty - very good food, best value for money - sevice orientated staff all around taking very good care of you - daily plastic cleanup from the resort. Remember it is not their waste. They do anything to minimise the plastic footprint, even providing your own drink bottles - very clean rooms, great beds, amazing bathroom - only a short boat trip from KK away Terima Kasih Echoresorts :)

perkhidmatan terbaik....makanan terbaik....saya pesan bilik ada pemandangan ..maksud saya separti hambar dalam tempahan.. saya dapat bilik ada pemandangan dgn terhalang (berpalang..berpagar)tidak seperti dalam gambar temppahan

Keseluruhannya ok. Lokasi yang sempurna. Walau bagaimanapun, tiada berus gigi, ubat gigi dan kasut disediakan seperti hotel lain yang serasi. Tiada titik kuasa yang mencukupi disediakan di dalam bilik. Suhu aircond tidak boleh laras dan hanya ada 3 lampu bilik di dalam bilik dan terlalu kekuningan. Tidak sesuai untuk sesiapa yang ingin bekerja di dalam bilik. Sarapan pagi adalah munasabah. WiFi bagus. Mungkin hotel memerlukan peningkatan pada masa hadapan. Selain daripada ini saya tiada komen lain.

I have three nights stayed in the hotel. Location is good, close to many eatery stalls. Hotel a bit run down, socket spoilt in room 107 and cleanliness has to improved. Found a big cockroach in room 309. If you have request for late check out, please make sure the hotel give you the receipt. Otherwise your room will auto be locked though payment has been collected by front desk and the hotel will deny, no record shown. Hence please make sure you have the hotel receipt for any argument arised

Hotel sangat strategik,berada di kawasan yg sibuk. Ada Borenos Chicken, Watson, Guardian,99 Speedmart,7E. Dekat dgn Centre Point Sabah, Klinik dekat. Restoran McD, Pizza Hut pun ada. Hotel bersih,TV besar puas hati tengok,tandas pun bersih. Perkhidmatan servis pun bagus,jika nak sesuatu seperti ubat gigi jika habis mereka akan bagi. Pembersihan pun lancar,pihak hotel akan hubungi kita sama ada nak servis bilik atau tidak sekiranya tak keluar bilik. Security juga peramah, siap berborak lagi. Untuk travel solo, pilihan bilik satu katil adalah yg terbaik 👍

Semuapun okay, bawa anak2 cuti. *************. Cuma ada staff lelaki yg front desk tu bila kita request extra terus eksen. Saya ingat tu muka sampai bila2. Staff lain okay, cuma tu saturang ja, jumpa depan kaunter pun tembirang, apalagi cakap thru phone, eksen betul.

kelebihan: 1. Biliknya bagus. Hotel ini menaik taraf jenis bilik sebelum saya mendaftar masuk. 2. Kemudahan di dalam bilik sangat lengkap, termasuk mesin kopi kapsul dan TV besar Anda boleh menonton Netflix dan banyak lagi program lain. 3. Terdapat mesin ais di koridor hotel di mana anda boleh mengambil ais sendiri. Ini adalah satu kejutan. 4. Sarapan pagi sangat-sangat kaya Saya rasa kenyang setiap kali dan masih banyak perkara yang saya ingin makan. kekurangan: 1. Mungkin lebih baik beralih waktu puncak Terdapat ramai orang pada waktu puncak, sarapan pagi pada dasarnya penuh sesak, dan banyak restoran luar memerlukan tempahan. 2. Pilih menu restoran di hotel (iaitu tempat sarapan) dengan berhati-hati. 3. Hanya ada satu jalan untuk ke hotel, yang sangat sempit dan terdedah kepada kesesakan lalu lintas, terutamanya pada waktu petang cuti.

Staff yg mesra dan byk memberi kerjasama, ruang hotel yg baik serta parking kereta yg selesa,, bilik yg bersih dh ruang cafe yg selesa

Secara keseluruhan berpuas hati stay sini cuma kebersihan di sini agak kurang ada habuk2 d tepi2 bawah katil yg dpt dicapai oleh anak . mohon sediakan penyapu next time n also ada bunyi bising dr aircond tp oke ble diterima sbb klu on tv x brapa dengar ..cuma perlu sediakan parking khas utk kemudahan pengunjung .. tq
