Our Say
Located in lush jungle and hillside surroundings away from the main town, Nexus is probably the most well-rounded five-star resort in KK. You have absolutely everything in one location; private beach, golf course, water activities, horse riding, health spa; the list goes on. The rooms are luxurious, especially the Borneo rooms. Service is both warm and attentive without being intrusive. Expect a five star resort with similar prices. If you are after the complete luxury resort package without a crowded feel, look no further.
