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.

When built a few decades ago was probably very nice, but it’s now approaching the end of its useable life and unfortunately it has not been maintained or even cleaned much. Biggest disappointment was low quality but expensive food — and it’s a long way to town so you’re trapped. Even Grab gets in on the rip-off by making the ride into town three to four times the cost of the ride from town.

The location & activities in the resort were exceptional. The staff were outstanding as well.

The room had a nice balcony with a beautiful sea view and pristine beach. The pool was large and child friendly but without a lifeguard (probably not necessary)! There was a noticeable lack of staff - our room lacked towels when we arrived and we had to ask for our room to be cleaned after it was left for 2 days. Only 2 of the restaurants were open and the food was cold. The hotel is far away from KK so we could only eat at the 2 restaurants! There was no activity’s for children except the pool. The massage was good value for money and expertly done. Overall, this is a reasonable choice for those looking for a secluded getaway at an affordable price, but for our family with young children wishing to see more of Sabah, this didn’t fit the bill - we ended up checking out a day early and upgrading to a proper 5 star hotel in Tanjung Aru, which was the best decision we made.

Stayed at the Nexus for 2 weeks. Room had everything we needed and was clean and tidy. Amazing view from our balcony, overlooking a glorious beach. Didnt use the golf course but it looked well maintained and set out. Used alot of the amenities without issue. Staff are so polite and very attentive. Would have liked more dining choice, although there is building work happening which may solve this. 35 munutes ftom city so. although you are in a secluded area, its easy enough to use shuttle/taxi and experience everything on offer there. Would definately visit again.

The property looks run down

Place is nice, staff very nice but it could cleaner. Years ago it must be a wonderful place it lost potential

The hotel is in a beautiful setting. On arrival James and Felix gave us a lovely welcome & explained where everything could be found, we received a room upgrade with a sea view & balcony as they are completing works / upgrades to the restaurant & rooms. The works took place from 8am onwards, it didn't effect us. Its great to see the money being invested. Our upgraded room was beautiful with a wonderful sea view. The food in the restaurants was of a very high standard, the same for the breakfast. All the staff are an absolute credit to the hotel, the staff on reception, restaurant (evening and breakfast), tthe pool staff, the bar, the cleaners, even the workmen onsite. Very polite and can't do enough for you. Highly recommend, we will definitely be going back in the future. Large list of available day trips and things to do, away from the hotel and plenty to do at the hotel, water sports etc, highly recommend the spa, we had a massage which was amazing. Large list of treatments, all very reasonably priced. Thank you to everyone at the hotel that made our honeymoon & holiday so special.

Loved it - just old

My daughter and friends enjoyed very much their stay there...like the beach n pool and cozy surrounding.
