Gayana is an island very close to Borneo, some 15 minutes away (by boat) from Kota Kinabalu city. Gayana Eco Resort is a water-villa style resort, having it's own Marine Ecology Center. Views are beautiful all day long and the rooms are clean, even if they are not new anymore and you can sea some aging signs (some villas are... More

We stayed 3 nights here which was probably about right.  The checkin (on mainland) was smooth and we asked for an upgrade which was all handled well given the short notice.  It is a very short boat ride to the resort.

We could see thousands of fishes when we went snorkeling off from our villa. There are many different kind of fishes, such as nemo, star fish,... More

Just had a most relaxing stay in the palm villa over the water. Private plunge pool , snorkeling off of villa with hundreds of amazing fish!! As most of the resort is a bit older the usual wear and tear of the tropics is apparent but the palm villas are 2 years old and amazing. Huge. Clean and complimentary mini... More

we only stayed at the resort for 1 night and I am glad! the staff were very friendly but slow in service. considering how expensive it is to stay there i expected more. our room itself was beautiful but food was average, boat service was slow and the island itself and the activities selection was boring.
