Отель Gayana Marine Resort, Гая Айленд, Малайзия

One of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever stayed. Upgraded our room to one of the bungalows with a private dock overlooking the water, a bit pricy but totally worth it. We could snorkel right off the dock, saw beautiful tropical fish everywhere. Very nice room, huge shower, comfortable bed and stylish decor. Pool and restaurant were also very nice. Would absolutely stay again.

Truly, a perfect blend of luxury and Eco tourism, sustainability isn’t just a marketing point. It is the point. The staff is all wonderful and accommodating from the second you book to the moment you leave, the food is amazing and the views are absolutely breathtaking. Because of how much they care about marine conservation, you can see a lot of incredible wildlife even just snorkeling 30 minutes in I saw a turtle, even as someone who is traveling solo it was such a nice escape and not having Wi-Fi in the rooms is a great idea to really help you truly disconnect and unwind.

We LOVED our stay here and don't understand any of the negative reviews! The resort was gorgeous and very clean - no issues with trash in the sea while we were there. Rooms were comfy, if you're used to Uber 5* luxury they might feel a little rustic but they were very spacious and luxe enough for us. The infinity pool is stunning, and there are loads of free activities on offer. It's also a responsible hotel, it's plastic free and you can refill water for free unlimited. Visit the MERC to learn about their reef conservation too! The staff were all incredible. You have to visit this place if you're in Borneo and I can't wait to return!

Snorkelling, paddle boarding, and kayaking around the resort was incredible. At first, we were mildly disappointed (with humanity, not the resort) because most corals seemed unfortunately dead, but the more we explored, especially during high tide, the more stuff we saw - clownfish (Nemo), Dory fish (Dory), parrot fish, giant parrot fish, giant clams, squids, stingrays, urchins, damsel fish, catfish, and many more we cannot name. We were also very fortunate to see monitor lizards, lots of hornbills, and macaques. The resort has the Marine Ecology Center within it that is trying to boost the growth of corals as well as the local giant clam population, which is fantastic to see. Kayaking in the mangroves during high tide was also excellent. A lot of the food was delicious. And we barely used the infinity pool because we spent most of our time in the sea, but that was nice too. The staff are all very kind!

They helped to conserve the coral reefs which is very good. The place was very clean. The staffs were amazing and polite, properly trained. The room were spacious and beautiful. Provided kayaking and snorkeling. very peaceful to stay in there.
