If you want to be away from the city hassle, it is a nice place with a colourful garden. The beach is really beautiful and not crowded. The swimming pool area is nice and clean. The breakfast has lots of options and it is pleasant to take it outside. I liked the Chinese restaurant of the resort. Rooms are big and clean, although very oldish. The staff reacted quickly when I needed to open the safety box.

Transfers organized to and from the city run only 3 time a day and cost 30 RM. The transfer from and to the airport offered by the hotel is very expensive (120 RM). When I asked to call a cheaper taxi and gave the number, the receptionist refused and said I had to call myself from my room which is chargeable. Better call uber or grab. As rightly mentioned, the beach is spectacular but it is not well maintained: lots of cigarettes and plastic all over (see picture). Also, the hotel needs a serious face-lift. The painting is my bathroom was falling from the walls. Restaurants in the resort are overpriced. Some staff at the reception has very limited English skills. In general, the price does not correspond to the quality of the hotel which is far from being a 5-star hotel. All other hotel experiences in Malasia were way better than Nexus.

Exactly what we aren’t looking for !

Great area, resorts around by nature parks. Well maintained private beach. Amazing helpful and friendly staff. Very comfortable pool. Good golf facilities. Best option if you need a relaxing holiday. We had very pleasant stay with nexus and extended the original stay from 2nights to 5nights. The staff is doing whatever they can to improve guest satisfication. We will for sure stay here again if we returns.

The F&B options are limited. But since we got a car, it was pretty easy to drive to kk city center to eat. Takes around 40 mins one way. It might be helpful to provide a sign of “jelly fish” on the beach as we had a few bites, but we were told the type of jelly fish is no harm so all good. The resort has a list of daily activities, it will probably be nice if some staff can engage the guests. We tried to sign up two activities but was told not enough people signing up.

Run away to the Beaches of Borneo - You will Never Want to Leave!

Amazing Nexus Club room, spacious, comfortable, wonderful beach view. Incredible beach cleaned daily and well maintained. Staff very gracious and helpful, especially Vyonnes, Florina and Romario. Many dining choices with mix of cuisine and different vibes based on preferences. Really enjoyed reading Borneo Post each morning at breakfast while sipping delicious coffee by beach surf. Comfortable beach lounge chairs with umbrellas. Nice pool area, centrally located. Good resort for families and couples. About 45 minutes from downtown so away from hustle and bustle of city, but still accessible for shopping excursions.

Property is in need of cosmetic 'facelift' to get ahead of normal wear & tear. Lots of unused space which can be repurposed. Should create 'Departure/Arrival Lounge' with lockers to leave bags for early arrivals or late departure. Should strictly enforce 'No Cell Phone' rules in spa. Very disturbing many folks on devices, beeping and loud, ruined our relaxing spa time, plus it's violation of personal privacy. Nexus lounge should be open all day for access to coffee/tea, not just after 4:30-6. Billing system is antiquated, difficult to understand with bill run 3x and still not correct. Folks were very nice as they tried to provide correct final bill.

A hidden gem with exceptional staff

The staff is phenomenal. We had exceptional service with everyone that we met. They went above and beyond what we expected with their hospitality and service. The breakfast staff, duty manager, check in etc. I left my kindle behind and they found it as well.

The facilities and the hotel itself was built awhile ago and you can't expect it to be brand new. The place is vast and it's difficult to maintain such a huge property. Expect the usual wear and tear. The rooms have been updated and is clean. The bed is very comfortable. Their food selection needs to vary as the breakfast, lunch and dinner are the same.

Great place to relax and enjoy the beach.

The breakfast buffet is great, the facilities are nice, the private beach, the big swimming pool, the views from my bedroom.

At first, they "upgraded" for free a room with sea view. That room was sloppy, dirty, lack of details, old mattress, so disappointing. But we complained and not only the manager apologized but he gave us a pretty nice room with amazing views of the sea and great service.

Cheap but you might consider other options.

The beach area is lovely. The bathroom in the property is the best of it. The food seved is good but can be improved.

The receptionists are nice but they are only doing their job and weren't joyful when serving guests. The room they gave me needed maintenance in different aspects such as electricals.

Nice place to relax

It was a quiet resort, not many guest, I was able to relax. There were many wild animals in the resort, I saw monkey, lizard, squirrels and otter. The environment was nice. Staffs were nice.

Only few restaurants and they close quite early. Then you can only order room service

Relaxing and quiet.

Staff at the resort were ALWAYS friendly which is a great plus for the resort. The beach was great, quite and clean.

As in some reviews the rooms need a bit of a decorative update, but are perfectly adequate. We would have liked more individual dishes of Malaysian cuisine rather than a buffet for a set price.

The view from the room is lovely, looking over the beautifully landscaped grounds and out to sea where you can watch the sunset in the evening. We also loved spotting the resident monitor lizards. The spa is great too with a good range of treatments and very nice facilities. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Clement was fantastic in helping us to arrange sightseeing trips and our transfer back to the airport. Dayang greeted us for breakfast each morning with her beautiful smile and did everything possible to ensure we had a good start to the day.

The only thing I would say is that parts of the resort could do with a refresh as some areas are a bit worn and dated. However, that did not impact our stay.

Laid back, relaxing holiday in beautiful setting.

Relaxing resort/hotel. Spacious grounds. Very friendly Attentive staff.

would have preferred an evening programme offering soft background music. Piano bar finished at 7pm. Became extremely quiet by 10.00pm Lack of sun umbrellas around pool. Breakfast catered more for Asian guests, lack of Western cuisine.

Brilliant, relaxing, beautiful place to stay with wonderful staff.

The rooms are large and have large comfortable beds. The food in all of the restaurants that we ate in was excellent and good value considering this is a high quality resort. The beach is clean and beautiful, a 6km crescent of pale sand, with a safe swimming area and a small selection of watersports available, and there is a friendly beach bar with happy hour from 3-5 that does BOGOF on beer and cocktails, so you can sit on the bar swings or beanbags and watch the sunset with a few cocktails lined up. You can also have a massage in one of the pagodas right by the beach. There are 3 pools with a shallow one for small kids, an over 18s pool, and the other one for all. Both of the larger pools have a swim-up bar selling drinks and ice-creams. However, the jewel in the crown of this hotel is the staff; every member of staff we met was polite and friendly, and they could not do enough to make our holiday special. We were unfortunate enough to have a small gecko fall on to one of the beds; housekeeping arrived and had changed the whole bed linen set within 15 minutes. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff here and they really made our stay a very pleasant experience. The hotel is about 40 minutes from Kota Kinabalu, but the hotels closer in don't have this fantastic beach. We used Grab to book a car to and from the airport, which was cheap, but most of the cars are a modest size so it was tight with 4 of us and luggage, however you can get the hotel to book a taxi at about MR120, but we paid around MR38 for a Grab car and we did not have to wait more than a few minutes each time. We took a Grab in to KK and visited the handicrafts and food market. The food market is right by the fishing boat dock, so the fish and shell fish are as fresh as you can get. You pick what you want, fish, squid, lobster, tiger prawns, chicken etc, and they weigh it, tell you the price and cook it and serve it straight away for you.

There is no hotel transfer available, only taxis or Grab
