Borneo Luxury Vacations

The room n bathroom not clean , dirty.

I would say this resort has plenty of activities and amenities which is very convenient. Peaceful resort with a beautiful beach right in front of me. I wish the food selection and taste could be improved.

Gaya Island is a great destination for snorkelling/ diving, the water around the property is full of life even from your villa and the walkways there is plenty to see. Gayana resort is plastic free and no water motorsports are available- which I did much appreciate. Staff are very friendly and helpful throughout, the properties are clean and spacious. However the resort is in overall need of repair and refurbishment. The villas and common areas are outdated, repairs made over time are visible and mismatched. The restaurant menu is limited, you will struggle to pair starter, main and desert, find vegetarian or vegan options. I would not expect a pizza on a resort dinner menu ( even less a pizza that really does not meet any standards). The bar features a pool table ( literally the only thing to do in the evening) which has not been maintained and is not level, cocktail options are limited, the bar overall is not stocked and not always manned during opening hours. Prices for food and drinks are not far off European standards, quality is not. The hotel offers snorkelling gear and kayaks free of charge and staff at the recreation centre are always there to help, there is no gym ( which would be handy when it rains) and there is very limited offer of paid activities ( eg. diving instructions were not available during our stay, no options to explore the island,..) The property does also not have access to a beach!- there are fantastic looking beaches close but not accessible.

We stayed in the double bungalow, Perfect for 3 seperate friends, so much private space. Just beautiful.

I had an incredible stay at the Empire, Brunei. The hotel and grounds are stunning and I made the most of the incredible spa, the onsite cinema and the pool and beach. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating and really made it a truly special stay. The rooms were amazing and the sea view is unmissable.

Excellent services, Thank you

The hotel location is fantastic. We had a sea facing room and had a wonderful view of the ocean and mountains in the background, as well as fishing boats. The gym is also well equipped - multiple stationary bikes, treadmills, exercise machines. The only down side is that there is a strong odor of cigarettes in there all the time. May be due to bad air circulation in that room. There is also a nice outdoor pool. The breakfast buffet was very good, with lots of local and western choices. Hotel staff are wonderful, very helpful, polite and customer focused.
