“Wonderful stay but expensive food and drinks with limited options.”
15 Jul 2025
Amazing outlook from our room. Breakfasts amazing. Staff super friendly. Free snorkels and canoes great. Coral reef beautiful. Sun beds great. The good outweighs the bad for sure!

“A home away from home - my 3rd time here and I'll be back again!”

The Gayan Boullaibaise dinner was exceptionallll. The broth was out of this world!!! Chef Kimmy, who led our cooking class, was super friendly and knowledgeable about his work. The hinava that we made was also delicious. Aileen from the front desk, who went out of her way to help me prebook my massages and meals before I arrived - thank you!!! And Bata who helped us plan all our activies & keep my mom entertained! And of course, thank you Terrence for welcoming us back like we were family, and for extending so much help even though he wasn't at the resort physically. I've missed GIR so much, and being back almost brought me to tears. Hope I'll get to come back again <3

“Visiting Gaya Resort felt like stepping into an episode of The White Lotus — pure luxury and unforgettable atmosphere.”
11 Jul 2025
We do not even have words to describe our stay at Gaya Resort. It was simply excellent! Beautiful landscape, an intimate resort, great pool, a lot of amenities like snorkeling (which was absolutely worth it — our guide took great care of us, making sure everyone saw the fish, sharks, and more) The staff is very qualified and helpful, we could ask them anything anytime. But a real star of the Resort is Kitchen Chef! He was so friendly, talkative, stopping by every table each evening to describe the day’s menu. Moreover he Cooks excellent, we have been all over the world but have never tried such delicious food. We honestly recommend Gaya Resort, it is truly a gem among hotels.

“Lovely stay on Gaya Island- a bit pricey but very good”
