Bunga Raya is a gorgeous spot in the world. Stunning Accomodation nestled in the forestation of this little island. Accomodation is excellent, gigantic bed and loved the gift of sarongs. Bathroom products fantastic, love the soap leaves skin feeling invigorated. Morning breakfast baskets are very nice touch. Spa facilities are very special nestled in bushland with views over the bay,... More

We stayed here for 5 days at the end of our honeymoon. We just wanted to relax & chill out after our time in the Jungle, that is exactly what we did. They made every effort to make our stay special with a bottle of champagne, a complimentary massage & flowers & candels in the room every night. The rooms... More

We stayed in a beach villa with private pool, which was right at the beach. The cottage was not very big, but spacious enough. There was also a hot tub in the bathroom where the windows could be opened towards the beach. Free water and softdrinks are available in the minibar. Staff was very friendly, but unfortunately the food was... More

Had a great time here. After all the flying, driving, and boating to get there it truly is a sight for sore eyes. So relaxing, staff wonderful, rooms amazing. You can also go over to the other sister resort on the island (gayana resort) and do great snorkeling and scuba. My only criticism was the food which was really quite... More

We visited Bunga Raya in the beginning of April '12. This property is really great. If you want privacy, choose Romantic villa (Treehouse) #45. It is situated on the hill, surrounded by forest. All the amentities is modern, but the bed is really squeaky :))) Preliminarily we have booked the villa with the plunge pool, which is very close to... More

We traveled 12 h to go to this resort and we are so disappointed! Rooms are dirty and need to be well renovated. Three stars hotel standard but not luxury at all! Food is not good at all. We were by the sea but they served us frozen fish filet smelling so bad! We had to return so many dishes... More

Booked this hotel as a weekend treat for someone's birthday in November 2011. This resort is located on Bunga Raya island, separate from the mainland of Kota Kinabalu. Check-in was done swiftly in the office at the ferry terminal but had to wait alittle while as the transfer service is at fixed timing. The bugalows are built into the forest... More

We traveled from Singapore to KK in Nov 2011 and stayed at Rasa Ria for several days and then Bunga Raya. We agreed that the location, scenery, and beach at Bunga Raya made it the best choice in KK and loved the 4 nights we spent there. We were traveling with 2 children (2 yrs and 4 yrs) and had... More

Although our budget would only allow us to stay for a few nights at Bunga Raya, this luxury beach resort was the perfect start into our honeymoon in Borneo. Everything was just wonderful - the stylishly decorated interior of our airconditioned beachfront bungalow, our very own small infinity pool just outside the bungalow, the abundant and varied breakfast and delicious...

I have to admit their website is well done and once you explore it a bit, you are already 25% sure you wanna go there ;-). Anyway, no surprises between what was promised and what we actually got, so thats good (however, their boat schedules can be a pain sometimes, once we had to wait for almost an hour even... More
