Padawan Holidays

Rooms are dirty, plastering fallen off the ceiling, moldy bathroom. The cleaning is terrible, 4 staff, one empty the bin, one change the towel, one flush the toilet didn't even clean it and no vacuum done once when we stayed for 1 week. It took them 5 mins to complete a 2 bedrooms apartment. The aircon stop working and ice accumulated and the repairmen had to chopped off ice and full of mold came off from the aircon. There is no washing detergent and no sponge provided and it's supposed to be fully contained kitchen. After moving us to another floor, the fridge not working and there was a missing television too. There took it from another room to replace the fridge and television. We complained about the plaster falling off from the ceiling, there wasn't any reaction from the staff. I wouldn't recommend any one staying there considering the conditions of the apartment and the high price and terrible cleaning job.

Cove 55 was the perfect finale to our family trip. Tucked between the slopes of Mount Santubong and the South China Sea, it feels like a private retreat — our room was spacious, spotless, and so quiet at night that all we heard was the jungle. But it’s the people who made our stay. The team helped us arrange our trips to the Semenggoh orangutans and a wetland cruise, and thought of every detail so that traveling with three generations felt effortless. Breakfast was wonderful — Western and local Sarawakian dishes both — and dinner by the pool at sunset was the highlight of our whole Malaysia trip. We left rested and already planning to come back.

This was a cabin in the rainforest, so in the thick of nature. Sadly for us, it rained during our whole stay. I think its an amazing location for getting away and seeing wildlife on your doorstep. There are on resort things that you can pay for like bat walk, kayaking, high ropes and boat trips. There are also self guided trails. I think if you are staying longer than a few days, you may run out of activities. I also thought the boat trip was a bit pricey considering others we had been on in Malaysia. The staff were friendly and answered all concerns. There is no Wifi in the cabins and even our eSIMs struggled with reception. The rooms could do with a few more amenities like hooks, iron, hairdryer, more sockets and wifi. The fridge and kettle were welcome. The breakfast was lovely with a variety and changed daily. You can order a meal or even to your cabin from the restaurant, but we wanted a few more options. They also do yummy milkshakes. The restaurant is a lovely place to relax as there is wildlife around and you are practically on the beach. It also had Wifi. You can get laundry done, but it needs to be requested - no option to do yourself. There is a small shop at reception, but not well stocked and seemed musty. The 'second' beach really needs better steps sorted so you can get to it safely. We didn't use the jungle pool - my kids were very suspicious. City centre is 1 hr drive & Grabs don't come I loved this resort, but a few improvements could be even better!
