Beach Resort is great value in fantastic location away from Planet Human and back in Nature. Nice clean and quiet stand-alone Chalets perched in a row on the hill get the breeze and views. Just below chalets is central kitchen/dining area where all 3 meals provided within the accommodation costs. Food is reasonably bland to fit all tastes but there is plenty of it. One reason to come here is for the diving away from Kota Kinabalu but the reefs at the resort are getting fished over because not in a National Park and so suffering a bit of net drag damage and not many sharks or turtles around (less that i saw on my dives at Kota Kinabalu). Still worth a few dives to see the similarities and differences.

Charming resort and perfect place to get away and relax. Visited in Dec 2022 and hoped to do some diving, but it was the end of the rainy season and the weather did not cooperate. Nevertheless, we ended up having a great experience as Bigfin was a great place to chill out and relax. Bungalows are set up on the hill overlooking the bay. Great view and location. Made good use of the pair of hammocks outside each bungalow. There is a nice bar/restaurant/deck area closer to the beach to relax and use the wifi, although the power was only on in the evenings. Maya the cat will gladly cuddle up if you pay her some attention, and even Rocky warmed up to us after some time. Beach is not overly big, but you can explore further down the beach during low tide. Plenty of room to chill out if you get a sunny day. Although we could not manage any dives due to limited visibility, Maman and the dive staff were awesome and a pleasure to hang out with. Not being able to dive could have ruined our stay, but we had a great time at Bigfin and there it is a great place to relax for 3-4 days regardless of the weather. Would definitely return!

Our family of 5 stayed at BigFin for 2 nights recently towards the end of our trip to Sabah. We were very happy with our stay. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer :) Location of the resort is remote and idyllic. It is a small resort set on a beautiful beach, and is completely surrounded by nature. The rooms are on a small hill up from the beach. From outside our room we had a lovely view of the beach, the rolling rainforest hills, and Mt. Kinabalu in the distance. We spent our time walking and dipping in the water on the beach, did a little hiking, went out on kayaks and paddle boards, did some great snorkeling, and spent some time chilling in the hammocks. Really beautiful sunsets on the beach. If you go out snorkeling, remember to stop at the white platform. Food is included, and it was tasty. Dinner was rice, chicken, and two vegetables. Lunch was noodles and fried rice. Breakfast was eggs and toast or pancakes, which were very good. Beware of their home-made hot sauces :) The rooms and bathrooms were very clean, and the resort is well maintained. Each room has hammocks outside that are really inviting. No A/C, but the room fan was very comfortable at night. The room gets hot during the day, but that's when we were either out or chilling in the hammocks :) They run generators for power from 5-11pm. We enjoyed chatting with Awie, the chef and manager. The owner, Ella, was working hard with her staff, taking care of the place. All of the staff were very pleasant and friendly. It does take some effort to get there, but if you're looking for R&R in a beautiful beach and nature setting, I'd certainly recommend BigFin. Some logistical notes: 1. We had a rental car, and parking was provided at the boat pick up point. 2. There is no boat pier at the pick up or drop off point. You get on & off the boat in shallow beach water, so dress and pack accordingly. 3. The last stretch of road to get there is unpaved and narrow. We had no problem in our small rental car.

I’ve actually been here more than 5 times. Twice this year! It’s a really really great place to chill and unwind from the city. All of the staff are friendly and fun people, they make the trip even more enjoyable. The rooms are comfortable but you wouldn’t want to spend time in there during the day tho it’s just too hot. They run on solar power and generators for power supply (which is I think awesome) so no aircon or water heaters. You should be on the hammock enjoying the view, on the beach, snorkelling or kayaking. Food is also always delicious thanks to the chef (Awi). Because it’s just an hour away from where I live, my friends and I are always planning our next trip to Bigfin. Truely never gets boring even if we go 3 times a year😂😂. Btw I’d recommend staying at least 2 nights to really soak it up and enjoy your time there.

It is a wonderful place! It is a paradise on earth! The workers are the best, kind, friendly people and always at your disposal with a good face. The accommodation includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every meal is a feast. All incredibly rich and healthy. The place is idyllic to go with your partner. The best place in all of Borneo without a doubt. In addition, the activities are amazing, spectacular and different seabeds. Incredible sites to see. We go a 10/10. I would love to stay there forever.
