First, let me point out that the staff at the resort, without any exception, was kind and helpful. The problem with Borneo Eagle is in my opinion, that the value for money overall doesn’t add up. For example, at dinner, I got a free drink and that was about it. So for every extra ,the staff was running a tab, which I had to sign off every evening. This didn’t feel special or luxurious to me, just cheap and somewhat greedy. My overall added extras amounted to the sensational sum of 870 MYR which is a fraction of the overall price. Simply put, the idea of a special experience vanished quickly. And disappointments kept coming: Before the trip, I was asked per email, for my favourite drink just to be informed on the first night that both of my choices were not available. For the entire stay. The beach in front of the main hall was full of litter. There was no extra secured path into the sea in front of my villa, so I had to climb through slippery rocks for a swim. The rock structure all along the seafront was undergoing renovation with a huge ugly tarp of about 1m width stretched all along the seafront. There was no WiFi in my accommodation so for any message or call, I had to walk back to the main hall. Many of the power sockets in the main building didn’t work. The food was good but certainly not special or outstanding. There were no other guests for the entire 5 days. I understand that facilities such as Borneo Eagle work on 50% occupancy to make profit. But still, the whole place had an eerie vibe to it. Again, staff was great. So problem could be management. Please raise your game!

We stayed at Borneo Eagle Resort for six nights at the end of a wildlife holiday in Borneo. It is the most amazing place! Luxury villas, excellent service, and the most amazing team of staff who make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. We enjoyed sea kayaking, archery, a trek to the small mud volcano, and snorkelling, all of which were included. I also had a wonderful relaxing massage. The view at sunrise from the pool villas is fabulous. The food is excellent and so are the fresh coconuts! If you're looking for a peaceful resort with fantastic service, I definitely recommend Borneo Eagle. We didn't want to leave!

Simply Beautiful. Very happy staff that greats you as you reach the resort. Just a dozen of villas facing the sea. Forest reserve literally behind the villas... Super. Must go for trekking in the beautiful forest with the Super Duper guides. Learn about the mud pool and how soothing it is for your tired skin. No mosquitoes when we were there. The pool villa is huge, clean and excellent. Wake up in the morning sun. The chef and the staff are very friendly. Food is yummy. First time I tried the chia seed pudding for breakfast. Now become part of my healthy breakfast. Excellent fresh fish / crabs and prawns. I love the desserts... The chef's pavlova is super-duper. Good selection of wine. Amazingly, the friendly hornbills nest on the trees next to the dining area. They are beautiful. I love this resort as it is only half an hour speedboat ride from mainland. The resort is so peaceful except for sounds of Nature. I love the huge "native" trees, the lovely varieties of hibiscus and bumble bees soaking up the morning glory flowers. Will be back for longer stay and forget about the mad rush of city life.

We stayed 3 nights here at the end of a rainforest safari trip. Fantastic accommodation and setting. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful, made us feel at home and looked after us throughout, suggesting activities each day that we could all enjoy and finding the best spots for snorkelling on the reef. The food was consistently wonderful and the chef went out of his way to discuss the meals he was planning and take into account our preferences. An unforgettable experience and somewhere we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Stopped by on a month long tour of Asia and was surprised by this hidden Gem off the the south west coast of Sabah. The resort has an amazing location on the previously screened Survivor Island Borneo Series for those of us who watched it back then. Our accommodation was a huge villa located right by the sea fronted by white sand and crystal blue coral reef waters teeming with lobsters and fish. The resort has a lovely arrival hall and possibly the biggest pool in Sabah. All in all, a great experience with lovely service and curated meals using the resort's own organic produce. We actually hope to keep this quiet as long as possible before the tourists begin to discover this new sanctuary. It is but a fraction of the price charged at the more established destinations.
