Cove 55

The resort is lovely, but it needs some work, tiles off on pool, all outdoor furniture by the pool looks terrible, just a bit of work would make the difference. The rooms too, paint scuffs, doors that stick and shower head that needs cleaning because most holes are blocked. We had the half board with breakfast and dinner included and that was brilliant, all meals were delicious, and dinner even came with a bottle of wine. The staff were really lovely.

Beautiful, peaceful retreat at the foot of Gunung Santubong. Wonderfully attentive staff with great smiles. Incredibly beautiful surroundings with a gorgeous infon

I have to say the pool area with the mangroves in the background is stunning , especially at low tide. Within five minutes of our arrival we saw a pair of sea eagles and a collared Kingfisher. The restaurant had a great range of options, cooked to a high standard and the staff were very friendly. The room was large and airy with a decent balcony. My only issue is with the glass doors on the toilet and shower. No one wants to have to send their other half onto the balcony so they can use the toilet in peace. No need for this and it seems to be a trend at many beach resort type hotels :( I also highly recommend the wildlife river cruise . Overall we had a fantastic stay at Cove 55.

Cove 55 was the perfect finale to our family trip. Tucked between the slopes of Mount Santubong and the South China Sea, it feels like a private retreat — our room was spacious, spotless, and so quiet at night that all we heard was the jungle. But it’s the people who made our stay. The team helped us arrange our trips to the Semenggoh orangutans and a wetland cruise, and thought of every detail so that traveling with three generations felt effortless. Breakfast was wonderful — Western and local Sarawakian dishes both — and dinner by the pool at sunset was the highlight of our whole Malaysia trip. We left rested and already planning to come back.
