Beach Hotels in Borneo, Asia

"Hotel location, private sea, outside pool is very good ! also another outdoor swimming pool (for 5 lanes racing style) is excellent for swim lover. Only problem is too old room interior & maintenance. Mosquito problem also when you sleep."

"Hotel by the water but because of this a strong fish smell in the lobby. Breakfast very average for western tastes."

"Good location if you like being close to the pier for traveling to the islands, and having the convenience of a mall right next door. The rooms are average at best and the breakfast buffet could be greatly improved with some traditional breakfast meats and a dedicated omelette station. One thing I found very good was the hiring of the deaf for the positions that do not require regular verbal interaction."

"Friendly staff"

"Very spacious rooms, location is perfect, the staff is very friendly "

"An excellent ASEAN getaway to a 5 star resort retreat destination to relax, chill and pamper oneself and spouse. Wonderful beach front setting with quality SPA and Fine Dine Theme Restaurants Looking for to our next visit soon 👍"

"The check-in and check-out process was very easy and fast without a deposit. The FO gave me a room with a nice view, the sea and the pool. The room was clean, the AC was cold, the shower was very strong. but now they don't provide bar soap, shower cap, toothbrush in the bathroom but when you check in, they will ask for this and if you need it, they will give it to you. everything is ok, only the security in front of the lobby door must be alert if guests bring a lot of luggage. There is no need to ask whether they need help carrying the suitcase or not. I think it's better to just help directly without having to ask. Novotel Balikpapan, January 5, 2026"
