"The hotel room was simply outstanding! Plenty of room, comfortable bed and TONS of lighting options. The restaurant and rooftop bar, however were closed and looked to have been closed for a very long time. There was a restaurant on the ground floor that served a buffet breakfast. If the ground floor restaurant is made permanent or semi-permanent I would recommend drapes to draw diner’s attention inward. The view of the shopping center and dogs was lackluster."

"The room was very small and the bathroom was not what I would class as a proper bathroom. Saying that for the one night it was clean and comfortable enough. We had to be up early but if you want a sleep-in, don’t stay here as the mosque speakers are less than 50m away and prayer started loudly at 4.45am and continues for 45 minutes. For a non Muslim it wasn’t great. If you’re a diver and transiting early to Mabul or somewhere else, then it is ok. If you’re looking for somewhere for a few days...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Larapan Island?
The best area to stay in Larapan Island is the main beachfront strip along Tanjung Aru, located on the western side of the island.

This area is the primary tourist hub, offering direct access to the island's most beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters. You'll find a selection of hotels and resorts here, all within a short walk of the sand and sea. The general layout is linear, with accommodation options facing the ocean and backed by lush tropical greenery.

For couples seeking a relaxing escape, Tanjung Aru is perfect. You can enjoy strolls along the beach, watch stunning sunsets, and easily access water activities like snorkelling and diving directly from your resort. Many resorts offer private beach access and dining options with ocean views, making it ideal for a romantic getaway.

Families will also find Tanjung Aru highly convenient. The calm, shallow waters are excellent for children, and many resorts provide facilities like swimming pools and organised activities to keep everyone entertained.
When is the best time to go to Larapan Island?
The best time to visit Larapan Island is during the dry season, which runs from March to October.

This period generally offers sunny days and calm seas, making it ideal for enjoying the island's beaches and marine activities. The water visibility for snorkelling and diving is typically at its best during these months, allowing for excellent encounters with the local marine life.

Couples looking for a romantic escape will find these months great for sunset strolls along the beach and quiet evenings under the stars. The consistent good weather ensures that planned excursions, like island hopping or private boat trips, are unlikely to be disrupted.

For families, the dry season provides the most comfortable conditions for children to play on the beaches and swim in the clear, warm waters.
