The room's check-in process had a touch of magic. A digital code replaced the traditional key, ensuring I'd never again fret about misplacing it. The corridor-side camera enabled me to see who was at the door on my screen—a thoughtful feature. However, the most astonishing revelation awaited me as I pushed the door open. A refreshing breeze and a pleasant, slightly sweet vanilla scent enveloped me, instantly making me feel at home. The flat was equipped with a filtering air conditioning system. Truly incredible! The interior was so exquisitely adorned that I hardly knew where to begin. Every corner of this flat was meticulously planned and executed to perfection. A gray wall extended from the entrance to the balcony and beyond. Adorning this wall were a captivating collection of art pieces, art books on a bookshelf, a 4K TV stand with an elegant gold lamp and mirror wall decorations. Simple, yet incredibly elegant. Then, a queen-size bed framed by two curtains. It wasn't until the next day that I noticed the curtain, the cushion, and the bed were all in the same fabric because my attention was captivated by the ocean view. The great mirror of bedroom expanded the view of the ocean. Thanks to this design, I witnessed my first double sunset, with the sun sinking into the ocean on both sides of the horizon simultaneously. After, the sky continued to change colors for nearly an hour after the sunset, displaying shades of pink, orange, yellow, gold, purple, and various blues until it was pitch black. I had never witnessed such a colorful and awe-inspiring sunset before. After a great night, I pressed a button on the remote control to open the curtains right from my bed. The gentle light streamed into the room from the base of the window, gradually illuminating the space. The captivating ocean view with the neighboring island unfolded before my sleepy eyes. In conclusion, I implore you to book it without hesitation. You will not be disappointed.

The property is situated within Mercure Hotel, and is on one of the residential floors rather than hotel floors. Very comfortable apartment, 2 bedroom and 2 washrooms as described, with a kitchenette equipped with minimal cooking utensils, which is not a problem for us because it was super easy to get food with many eateries and the jetty just within walking distance for fresh seafood. Room was very clean. Self-check in is extremely straightforward, with key card for the lift picked up from the side of the building and room access is via a password keypad. Eilvane is super easy to get in touch with, and super responsive, and also kindly provided some snacks, water and also parking coupons as well for parking outside of the apartment. She is also full of suggestions and ideas for great food options and things to do! View from the rooftop floor with a cafe was breathtaking. Would definitely stay here again in the future! Highly recommended! Thank you so much Eilvane for making our stay a memorable one!

    I stayed here before for an extended period. It was great! The room was great, clean and had everything I needed. The view and the location - just wow! The facilities were OK but I had my my own car so going to nearby villages/towns to eat/get supplies was easy. Much of this was the same this time - except they put me in a different room ....

    Our stay at Borneo Beach Villas was an absolute delight. The villas were beautifully designed, offering stunning views of the ocean right from our balcony. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that all our needs were met promptly. We particularly loved the spaciousness of our villa, the well-maintained private pool, and the convenience of having a fully equipped kitchen. The resort's amenities, including the fitness center and spa, added an extra touch of luxury to our stay.
