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.

Excellent AC in room. Room described on here as "sea view" turns out to be "partial sea view", which is the description used on the hotel's own website. Staff very good, especially in restaurant which has a separate vegan menu with some good options. Some evidence that maintenance has suffered, such as a missing tile on pool and water leaking through to children's pool. Water leaking from toilet handle in room. Signs direct to a spa that no longer exists.

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 retreat

Love all the deco and the design/layout of the hotel. Everything looks beautiful and clean. The pools are great. Superb service by the staff and everyone is friendly. The view is stunning and the balcony room has the perfect view of the sunrise. Love that they have this small sofa/bench at the balcony for us to chill. Bear in mind that there is no tv but with all the swimming and lounging area to relax at, the day goes by in a blink of an eye. The breakfast spread is very tasty and got plenty of choices. Definitely worth the price.

We loved that it was constructed in such a mod, architectural manner particularly the pool. Practicality and substance were sacrified in some areas for style, and this needs to be revisited. Expanding the menu with eveb more local fare would be good as well. Mattress, pillows and bedding were by far the best we'd ever experienced, across the globe, so kudos for that. And we love your staff. Friendly and efficient without being curious and intrusive.

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.

This property did not live up to expectations. The photos online must have been photoshopped and do not represent the current state of the property. Having stayed at other resorts on Malaysia, this property is not a luxury escape. The facilities, including entrance, reception area, room including bathroom, restaurant, gardens and pool area are in desperate need of renovation, redecoration and major repairs. For example, tiles were missing from the pool and the pool leaked. There was little or no shade around the pool. The cushions around the shaded seating area in the garden were clearly mouldy which made that option unwelcoming. Overall I believe the descriptions and photos of the property were deceptive and the reality was very disappointing.

A hidden gem. A very well designed and maintained property. Didn't feel like we were staying in a hotel. The staff were unfailingly polite and courteous. More importantly, they appeared genuinely keen to help. When told that we were vegetarians, the staff at the restaurant took great pains to check with the chef to have vegetarian breakfast prepared for us in lieu of that on the menu. The staff at the reception guided us on scheduling our visits to the various spots in Kuching. We stayed 4 nights here (just before the new year) and they were one of the most relaxing and peaceful stays. We wish Cove 55 and its staff and management a very happy new year and many successful years ahead.

Pros: 1. Attentive and friendly staff 2. Freshly-made breakfast (ala-carte) with a small buffet site 3. Nice spacious room equipped with amenities 4. Staff went above and beyond to fulfil our order past the last order time Cons: 1. No guards on site to open and close the gate. Only rely on staff who weren’t 24/7 available at the guard house 2. No experienced bartender to make good cocktail drinks. They we’re almost tasteless but priced expensively. The mocktails were delicious though.

Sanctuary away from town

Great place, great staff, everyone very friendly and helpful. They packed breakfast and lunches for us when we couldn't make the times or were out and generally helped. However, it is a distance from the town so guided tours often charge extra for the 30min to pick you up. On the other hand, its only 10 min from the Santubong Mountain trek (about 3hrs to peak one way with 2 waterfalls on the way). Great food and even better unique cocktails from the Cambodian mixologist (forgotten his name sorry!) Try the 6 pieces of gold in particular!
