First & foremost, biggest compliments to the housekeeping team! We arrived in our villa around 2pm, went out around 4, and only returned at night after dinner to find: a mosquito coiled lit outside our door, bed has been made, coffee cups washed, rubbish bin cleared, how thoughtful!
The sight of the sea from the resort was superb, enhanced by the good weather. The welcome drink of calamansi juice with plum, aka Kitchai Ping as it’s known locally, was as good as my mom’s.
We initially intended to have the weekend hi-tea, but apparently it had to be pre-booked at least a day before. Thanks to that we got to enjoy happy hour instead, before having the weekend BBQ dinner that we managed to book a slot upon arrival. Bartender gave us extra kicks in our cocktails, thank you for taking our relaxation up a notch!
However we seemed to be unlucky with food serving. We booked for dinner at 6 but our happy hour session somehow made some miscommunications and delay. Food was good and a plenty, though we did notice satays were missing, but we were well fed. Breakfast order was also somewhat mixed up, kitchen must be overwhelmed with many guests, but we got what we wanted in the end.
Overall we are happy with our stay. We didn’t manage to explore the trails, perhaps we may return for a day trip in the future, and have that weekend hi-tea we missed.

We spent two nights and full days in a plunge pool villa that looks onto the beach. Our room was wonderful. The restaurant was excellent and the aspect of the hotel quite spectacular. It also has an excellent, but uber expensive, wine list. This would be 5 stars except that some of the activities were not available. In particular it was disappointing that the sunset boat tour wasn't available. We couldn't snorkel because of stinger season in Mid April (I tried but was stung...apparently this is only for a short period and so we were unlucky). Lots of horn bill birds to see though (our best sighting in Borneo).
