Excellent water activities, staff, and service
Snorkelling, paddle boarding, and kayaking around the resort was incredible. At first, we were mildly disappointed (with humanity, not the resort) because most corals seemed unfortunately dead, but the more we explored, especially during high tide, the more stuff we saw - clownfish (Nemo), Dory fish (Dory), parrot fish, giant parrot fish, giant clams, squids, stingrays, urchins, damsel fish, catfish, and many more we cannot name. We were also very fortunate to see monitor lizards, lots of hornbills, and macaques. The resort has the Marine Ecology Center within it that is trying to boost the growth of corals as well as the local giant clam population, which is fantastic to see. Kayaking in the mangroves during high tide was also excellent. A lot of the food was delicious. And we barely used the infinity pool because we spent most of our time in the sea, but that was nice too. The staff are all very kind!
Nothing against the resort, but the corals are unfortunately mostly dead because of climate change :(. It was still fantastic to see all the incredible marine life we did, and kudos to the resort for hosting the Marine Ecology Research Center there.

A very expensive not a 5 star resort
The location is amazing, the staff is very friendly and the spa treatments are really good. But that’s about it, the rest is a disaster, incredibly expensive and NOT a 5-star hotel. I went there to relax for a few days, it was impossible to relax anywhere.
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.

Passable
the food was excellent
extreme amount of trash on water and beach. I did not even want to go in the water. the landscape crew tries to clean it up- but sadly it’s a serious problem. a lot of deferred maintenance- one night I got wet in bed from the roof of my bungalow leaking - the next night both AC units broke due to a leak in the compressor. A lot of broken boards and worn down buildings. the dining room has no nice atmosphere- the lights are so bright and it feels more like a cafeteria- no ambience whatsoever- same with the little bar as the counter just overlooks all the stuff for the bar.
