We were a group of nature lovers who were using this as a three night stay to get used to the temperature and time change upon arrival in Borneo. Loved the grounds and snorkeling right from the beach. Fantastic nature center staffed by several biologists. The food options were a bit pricey but we were expecting that. The grounds were very birdy and we found two Borean Pit Vipers. The mangrove tour was fantastic. Room is very good quality for the price.

The property has a beautiful setting with the sea and a primary forest as its backdrop. The hotel excursions are excellent with an added inspiration on marine and forest conservation. Coral garden snorkelling and forest trekking are highly recommended. The staff are all genuinely kind and attentive. A very good resort.

It is totally amazing!! The staff are really polite and professional!! But the mosquito are really many. So you should bring medicine lol. If you can go there, you should enjoy their facilities. Especially snorkeling!! The beach in front of pool are really great!! There are clear water and many beautiful fishes. You don’t need to go anywhere, just go to beach with your snorkeling gears!! So I appreciate for your hospitality and great services.

非常棒的度假村,潔白的沙灘,透明乾淨的海水,讓人真的非常放鬆。渡假村的工作非常有禮貌,餐點價格雖然有點高,但還算不錯。讓人還會想再去的渡假村。

My family and I stayed at GIR for 2 nights and had a great time. The rooms were enormous (complete with separate areas for walk in robes, bathtub, shower, toilet). Room amenities were excellent, with bug spray and ointment for insect bites. Our rooms had fantastic views across the sea to Mt Kinabalu, beautiful to watch the sunrise every morning. The staff were all very friendly and attentive to our needs. We will absolutely be back again. Thank your GIR for a great time!

とてもコストパフォーマンスに優れたリゾートです。島なので、リゾート気分を味わえます。スタッフも笑顔で挨拶してくれ、不快なことはなにもありませんでした。欠点はお湯があまりでないことぐらいです。滞在中は日本人はだれもいなくて、中国人と韓国人が多かったです

I loved almost everything. The property and rooms were spectacular. pool was beautiful and the food was fantastic. The only thing I didn't absolutely love - mattress softness, having to rent watersports equipment rather than it being included
