This is one accommodation that my research doesn't prepare me for what to expect. My first impression was that the place catered to foreign tourists only. As they had yet to return after the lifting of Covid restrictions, the facilities and service had been allowed to deteriorate. Which was a pity as I liked the views of sunrise from this property. So, here are the minuses: 1. Lots of flies and mosquitoes throughout the day 2. Too far from anywhere, even the beach, which was across the road and didn't appear suitable for swimming. To go anywhere, expect to pay for a round trip of at least RM40 which is to town. Diyana, the manager, offered to arrange for takeaway meals with a payment of about RM10. 3. Private car transport from /to KK cost RM300, rather expensive compared to catching a taxi from Kudat town. 4. Overall, facilities and service were spartan. I'd hoped that breakfast would include local fruit at least. Many guests would not be used to the no-toilet tissue paper practice. The front door needed TLC - the concern was entry of mosquitoes, although netting over the bed was provided. I would not recommend my friends to stay here.
