Gayana Marine Resort

Nowhere near to be a 5 star resort. The only 5 star thing is the great location and the cost, but it lacks of quality in every details:

1. Wifi missing in the rooms
2. So much trash and plastic all around the villas and on the main beach. If you are 5 star you should put some efforts in cleaning daily or install a barrier system to help cleaning the ocean, especially if you call yourself an Echo resort
3. At check out a man walked in my room while I was still getting ready and I was naked
4. Food in the restaurant is just average, but still is the most expensive of the whole Malesyia
5. The pool is full of debris from the forest, again, keep someone to clean it more times a day if necessary
6. Room was missing of hot water in the shower
7. The water in the bathroom sink didn’t drain
8. The marble surface of the bathroom cabinet was broken in half and the whole cabinet was about to fall apart
9. The lights in the room were making an horrible noise
10. No activities provided
11. The terrace outside was missing of chairs and cushions on the outside bed. Again, not a huge deal, but unacceptable if you are a 5 star resort

Overall, it was just bloody expensive and it was impossible to really relax and enjoy the amazing location. A big positive was the spa centre and the treatments provided

Do not book this hotel.

A day before you arrive you'll be given a room in another hotel with over priced food and limited facilities. I'd recommend either Shangri-La on the mainland.
