Top Tamparuli Hotel Reviews

Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Absolutely lovely resort - the resort is beautiful and feels like paradise. The staff are all amazing, great service everywhere. The restaurants are reasonably priced (a bit more expensive than the mainland but seems reasonable given the location) and all the meals we had were really nice - we stayed for a week and had tried most dishes by the end , there isn’t a huge variety and only a few Malaysian options. Our room was up a steep hill but you can ask for a ride up on the buggy if you don’t fancy the walk. Everything does close up quite early (last order for a drink 10pm) but can see why as we were always the only people still around at this time - everyone seems to disappear about 8:30 so it can feel a bit of a weird atmosphere if you’re an evening person. There are lots of biting insects around so do take some decent insect repellent as the oil the resort provides didn’t seem effective at all. They light insight repellent coils outside each villa in the evening - it would be good if the resort could add these at the bar area at the Pantai restaurant too. A few things. The rooms just aren’t insect proof at all - eg there’s gaps in the door so we got bitten a lot. Each day we had to brush ants off our bed. When we first arrived there was a large number of ants (dead and alive) on the bed. We stayed for a week and the bedding wasn’t changed at all during this time, which was surprising especially as I had a couple insect bites which left a bit of blood on the bedding."

"We stayed for one week and the room was very comfortable. The breakfast included was worth the extra fee. 24/7 Gym and laundry services available. Infinity pool was relaxing and has a great view of sea. Citadines is a popular meet up spot. We went on two tours and they picked us up right outside our hotel. There is a restaurant, massage spa, burger king, cafe and lemon tea shop in the same building."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Tamparuli?

The best area to stay in Tamparuli is generally within the town centre itself, or just outside, offering a blend of convenience and access to natural beauty.The town centre of Tamparuli is relatively compact and provides easy access to local eateries, markets, and the iconic "Jambatan Tamparuli" hanging bridge. You'll find a relaxed, local atmosphere here, with the main road, Jalan Tamparuli, running through its heart. It's a good base for exploring the immediate surroundings and experiencing local life.For travellers who appreciate nature and a more tranquil setting, properties just outside the town centre, often along the Tuaran River or located amongst the hills, are ideal. These locations offer stunning views and a peaceful environment, often with opportunities for outdoor activities like river cruises or exploring local villages. This is particularly appealing for couples looking for a romantic escape or those seeking a quiet retreat.

When is the best time to go to Tamparuli?

The best time to visit Tamparuli is during the dry season, which typically runs from March to September.During these months, you'll experience pleasant weather with less rainfall and plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the local area. This period is particularly good for those looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Sabah, as the roads are generally in better condition and river levels are more predictable for activities like white-water rafting on the Kiulu River, which is a popular attraction near Tamparuli.For travellers interested in cultural experiences, planning your trip between March and September also increases your chances of aligning with local festivals or events. For example, the Kaamatan (Harvest Festival) in May is a significant cultural celebration in Sabah, offering a unique insight into the local Kadazan-Dusun traditions.
