“highly recommend to come here, we would have liked to stay longer”
We were very happy we booked a stay here (and can honestly not understand the poor ratings). The booking includes a boat taxi to and from the island, when we arrived we were warmly welcomed and received all the necessary information. The team takes very good care of their guests and grants late check-outs - as a result, our booked room was still occupied, but we received another one which we could occupy for a few hours until we could move into ours. both rooms were cozy, clean and comfortable. The food was delicious and you could choose from a buffet which included fish, meat, but also vegetables, salads and fruits and during the afternoon there is also some snacks provided as well as all day coffee, tea and water. We even received a special plate just made for us since we eat vegetarian food with Tofu and Tempeh (one of the best vegetarian dishes we had during our Borneo trip) The full team is just lovely and friendly, so when arriving we were introduced to the other guests and during the evening there was a birthday celebration from 2 of the guides, so the staff as well as a few locals were celebrating with cake and drinks and we and all other guests were also warmly invited to join the celebration and be part of the conversations. the hotel itself is cute and on stilts with bridges you can watch the sunset or watch small local boats padle by. the restaurant and terrace are the heart of the social area where guests and staff come together and the view is very nice, so we enjoyed especially during the morning watching the boats around us come to life and learn about local life. the booking also included 3 snorkeling trip including gear and fins, in addition we booked 2 discovery dives, the team was knowledgable and again took good care of us so we were able to enjoy the underwater world.

“Fantastic stay would highly recommend”
Lovely staff, beautiful place. We spent 1 week staying here and the staff were so friendly and helpful. My husband is a fussy eater and they were able to accommodate for him, thank you! We dived with Otto exploring both Mabul and Kapali, wow! Dive sites are so close all within minutes away. He found so many amazing fish for us to see and turtles.

“Definitely too expensive”
Staff was very welcoming and helpfull. We had the best snorkling guide Nau, he was realy a pro, always happy, smiling and he showed us the best snorkling spots arround Mabul and Kapalai. Location was ok, because if we only made a day trip to Mabul, we would have never seen the local village, all the children and sea gypsies.
