So glad we stayed in the Ocean Villa in which we could get into the water from the balcony. 2 nights were barely enough to explore around the resort, and we were lucky enough to see a stingray, hornbills and a monitor lizard. We enjoyed snorkelling and kayaking, and meaningful time at MERC (touch tank, coral planting, giant clams exhibition). The resort was kids-friendly and all the staffs were nice and friendly.

The resort is located in an exclusive spot surrounded by nature and the villas are very comfortable and with great views. Staff are welcoming and try to be helpful. Food is good quality and there is a range of activities offered by the hotel. Private beach is the best spot for relaxing and snorkeling. Special thanks to Jovara from the reception staff who was the most helpful, nice, friendly of all staff. She made our stay much better!

Excellent facilities, location, service and rooms. I thought the eco nature of the resort was excellent especially the outstanding private beach, turtle sanctuary and coral growing. Loved being away from the day trippers too, but with all of the activities!

We loved our stay on Gaya Island. The rooms are massive with beautiful bathrooms, ours had an amazing view. Nice toiletries and robe and other little touches in the room. The food was excellent, the buffet and both the restaurants had a great selection which was all delicious. We really enjoyed the private beach and the snorkelling, it was gorgeous with lots of fish. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We loved it!

Nice villas surrounded by jungle and sea. Large pool perfect for swimming. Private beach at Tavajun Bay. Expertly guided activities that are either included or good value. Generally an interesting resort for naturalists. The people at their marine conservation and wildlife centers are doing an excellent job.
