We had the most amazing stay at Bungaraya! The location is idyllic, the staff are the best, most wonderful people and were fantastic at helping organise a proposal 🥂. It is the ideal place to learn about the conservation efforts and get away from the world. We really liked that we couldn't get wifi in the villa as it made us disconnect and appreciate where we were more but that might not be practical for everyone. The food was delicious and fresh with a mix of local and international flavours. All in all a wonderful place and hopefully we will be back in the future! **Side note - we were lucky enough to stay at the Gayana Marine resort on the other side of the island for a few days and it was equally amazing! Very relaxed vibes, perfect if you want seclusion and watch the marine life 🐟

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

Very friendly staff. They fullfilled every single wish, always helpful and smiling. They offer a great snorkeling trip to Sulug Island. There are many spa treatments available. The pool is amazing, very clean. There is only one restaurant and every dish we had was delicious and looked absolutely beautiful. A wide variety of dishes is available also for breakfast. Water and clean towels are delivered to the room daily.

Only a 10-minute boat ride to Gaya island resort but felt really removed from the hustle and bustle of the city! The hotel is beautiful, surrounded by trees and the sea with lots to see and to do. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed speaking with the naturalists, they are very knowledgeable and passionate about the jungle, animals and the environment!
