New building and clean apartment. We had chosen the property mainly because of the pool but it was exceptionally closed due to a maintenance issue during our stay. The host reacted very well and offered partial compensation.

Villa abuts the ocean; you wake up to the sound of crashing waves right outside. Private swimming pool offers refreshing reprieve from the hot days, and romantic hangout on evenings. In-unit washer is a great help. The villa is one of several in the complex. While we were there, the occupancy rate was very low, and we practically had the place all to ourselves. Facing the ocean means you get unobstructed view of the daily spectacle of sunsets. During low tides when the ocean front is accessible, the entire beach (quite flat out into the water) is for our enjoyment.

Great location; right at the centre and by the seaside. I was checking in at 5pm but the room wasnt ready. They were kind enough to upgrade and add complementary breakfast. Its not about the freebies but going above and beyond to show you care.

Best place we’ve stayed at in Malaysia so far. Great location - right next to the KK night market. Really nice, clean room with so many amenities! Water, fridge (for all out market goodies) slippers, iron, + thoughtful details like an umbrella, and much more. All presented beautifully with nice ribbons and packaging. The hosts were very attentive, helpful and kind. They made sure that our every need was addressed. They even accommodated for a slightly later check out due to some issues we had. Very updated look + free upgrade to a window room. It is easy to see they take great pride in their accommodations and a positive experience for their guests. Loved our stay here and would come again.

The location is a bit far from the city, but we booked it because it is close to the beach, where you can see beautiful sunsets. The staff are kind and nice. Don't forget to go to the restaurant downstairs. We tried their ginger pork with rice. The pork was awesome! The place is clean and tidy, with water dispenser in the shared kitchen. They clean the communal areas every single day.

It’s an amazing hotel. The service is excellent, way above average in Malaysia. The breakfast is amazing. Nice pool, and perfect location. But the best is the rooftop bar to watch the sunset. Leves everything! It is an old building but everything is beautiful and clean.

Although it was a bit further out from Kuching city the peaceful surrounding and essentially private beach was great. As long as you have a car there’s no issues getting around this area of Borneo. It’s a great concept as well!
