Offering a garden and mountain view, Bonheur at Karambunai is set in Kota Kinabalu, 80 metres from Karambunai Beach and 29 km from Filipino Market Sabah. This beachfront property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. Guests can make use of the outdoor pool or the barbecue, or enjoy views of the sea and pool. Villa abuts the ocean; you wake up to the sound of crashing waves right outside. Private swimming pool offers refreshing reprieve from the hot days, and romantic hangout on evenings. In-unit washer is a great help. The villa is one of several in the complex. While we were there, the occupancy rate was very low, and we practically had the place all to ourselves. Facing the ocean means you get unobstructed view of the daily spectacle of sunsets. During low tides when the ocean front is accessible, the entire beach (quite flat out into the water) is for our enjoyment.

Facing the seafront in Kota Belud, Bigfin beach resort features a private beach area. Offering a restaurant, the property also has a garden. The property provides sea views and a terrace.

Guests at Bigfin beach resort can enjoy scuba diving, snorkelling, and kayaking while other on-site activities includes hiking or simply lounging by the beach. The view n scenery was superb. Its a treasure with great hospitality from the host. But it was bored for my 12 yeara old boys coz no telco line in the room. Need to stay at the lobby to get line. The room was spacious, lots of rack coz stayed at 2 bunk bed room. Food was delicious n have varieties too.
