Y2022 Raya
This year was really packed, and we had our last vacation with our aunty Bongsu. She was able to enjoy Karambunai beach before passing away on 15th May 2022 around 11:20PM.
We stay at Nexus Karambunai Resort & Spa from 9th May till 11th May 2022. It was big family gathering after Raya. We rented 3 Pool Villas and 3 unit of apartments.
It was really wonderful holiday and good memory of family gathering.
Pool Villa
The pool villa unit was big with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with living hall and kitchen. The master bathroom has big bathub.
It also has small 3 swimming pools in the villa. It is fully furnished with fridge, cooking utensils, aircond and TV and towels and extra blankets were provided by Nexus Karambunai.
Unfortunately one of the fridge not really cold and aircond also not really cold and we faced few small problems like not functioning doors and toilet flush.
We did complain to the Nexus management they did their best to rectify it but some problems they were unable to repair like toilet flush problem and fridge.
Even though we faced all these smalls annoyances we had really good holiday as the villa were comfortable and we really enjoyed the swimming pools.

Recommendation
I really like the Pool Villa, it had good facilities and the villa was good for you to enjoy the beach, swimming pool and bathub. Even though we faced small issues but Nexus Management was really responsive and tried their best to solve any issues arises.
We had our holiday at Mantanani Island in Sabah from 11th May to 13th May 2022.
We departed from Magellan hotel lobby to Rampayan Jetty in Kota Belud by bus around on 650AM. It took us around 1 hour 30 minutes to arrive to Rampayan jetty in Kota Belud.
