Reviewers Mention About Gaya Island Resort - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

The Gaya Island Resort has a beautiful beach with a coral reef and 3 restaurants. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the dessert buffet is outstanding. The staff is accommodating, allowing late (Read More) check-out and organizing transportation. However, some details need improvement, such as charging for drinks in the room and lack of services during rain. The team and service are exceptional, but the facilities need upgrading. Overall, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the resort offers a wide range of activities.

Passable

Very disappointing experience . Beautiful nature and location of the hotel but this is not luxury small hotel . Overpric

The jungle and green surrounding was excellent and new experience for us . The spa was nice .

The property and the service does not deserve five star rate . The staff is slow and not trained properly and in line with the 5 star staff . The rooms were not ready at the check in time . Everything was overpriced . The boat fee should be included in the service .

Nice to escape from the city just around 15 minutes by boat! Friendly receptionist and a lot of activities you can do in the resort!

Very good

Wonderful for a couple

Wonderful staycation, food and rooms! Truly relaxing and bliss. Shoutout to the resort for doing a lot to preserve and refurbish the environment, corals and beaches around the island! The hotel staff were also super accomodating of us being vegetarians and made effort to add extra options to the buffet breakfast which was a very kind gesture!

Rooms are rather far, property is definitely not infant friendly. Then again i guess their target is more honeymoon couples than families with children.
