    Personal Experience at Borneo Tropical Rainforest Resort

    Hostel Experience

    I had the pleasure of visiting Borneo Tropical Rainforest Resort during a church event back in 2019. I initially stayed in the dormitory that accommodated about 20 to 30 of us. While the shared environment was a bit uncomfortable due to the presence of some bugs like beetles, bees, and wasps, it actually led to a nice bonding experiences as we banded together to handle the pests, and since it's at located near the jungle, it is expected. So be prepared to bring some bug repellent and a mosquito net if you choose this accommodation type. After one night in the dormitory, I moved into one of the hotel rooms, which was a significant upgrade as the room was one you would expect from Miri city.

    Adventuring the Resort

    One of my favorite memories from that trip was gathering with my friends after the church event to explore the resort at night. We spent time looking up at the beautiful stars, and since the resort is somewhat distant from the city, the lack of light pollution made the sky clearer.

    The highlight of the trip was definitely the waterpark. With its various waterslides, I found myself spending hours there together with my church members.

    Recommendation

    I wholeheartedly recommend visiting Borneo Tropical Rainforest Resort. It’s a fantastic choice for a company retreat or a trip with friends and family. While I wasn’t able to fully explore all the activities and attractions during my first visit due to time constraints, the experiences I had were incredibly enjoyable, and it is definitely a place I would return to given the opportunity.
