We do not even have words to describe our stay at Gaya Resort. It was simply excellent! Beautiful landscape, an intimate resort, great pool, a lot of amenities like snorkeling (which was absolutely worth it — our guide took great care of us, making sure everyone saw the fish, sharks, and more) The staff is very qualified and helpful, we could ask them anything anytime. But a real star of the Resort is Kitchen Chef! He was so friendly, talkative, stopping by every table each evening to describe the day’s menu. Moreover he Cooks excellent, we have been all over the world but have never tried such delicious food. We honestly recommend Gaya Resort, it is truly a gem among hotels.

An amazing location - wonderful views over the bay from our very nice room. We loved seeing the monkeys, hornbills, monitor lizards and geckos. The staff were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed spending time at the simple private beach a short boat ride away. Make sure you arrive at Jesselton Point at least an hour before your speedboat leaves as they check you in there and it can take ages. Evening dining is either a fish restaurant, a Japanese restaurant or a bewilderingly large buffet.

The staff are exceptional. The variety of food is amazing. Facilities were in good condition and easily accessible. I expected we may be able to hike a few trails on the island but this was not possible. It surprised me for such a relaxed place that you needed more formal attire (trousers, closed shoes and collared shirt for) for one of the restaurants. We weren’t prepared for that. Sunset cruise was brief but great

The free kayaking and snorkeling was amazing, so much marine life to see around the hotel. The monitor lizards swimming where amazing. Definitely worth going to the ecology centre on site. You can touch a sea cucumber and starfish and see more of the marine life up close. Staff were really friendly and lovely different places to sit in the shade. We had a rainforest room which was more private than the water front rooms and still very easy to walk from the room straight into the sea.

The hotel is lovely and the staff very helpful and friendly. We loved the fact that they are an echo resort. Only downside is the sea is not clean, but unfortunately this is becoming less and less frequent everywhere and not something the hotel can control.
