Good on the maintenance staff and nice spacious rooms. Clean, tidy, beautiful gardens.
Fairly quiet location, sports facilities at the beach and lagoon are very limited to non existent, this hotel should be a 3 star hotel not more. The food are expensive and not that delicious.

The beach is awesome and the design of Villa is excellent. Nexus's customer service is a disgrace for the beautiful Kota Kinabalu and room is big.
Not much choices for other food and price is expensive compare to kk city town area, the staff then upgraded us to a "Borneo Villa" a little further away from the main building. Breakfast spread is not good.
