Passing through the Kimanis-Keningau highway the other day, I noticed this sign board offering RM99 nett per room at DZ Nature Resort. I was curious and drove in to investigate.
The road leading to the Resort.
It was a short 300 meters drive to the resort. According to the receptionist, there is a total of 37 units of airconditioned accommodation with meeting and conference facilities. The resort has been in business for the past 4 years or so. However, a new management has just taken over the resort from 01June and named it as "Manis Manis" (Sweet, sweet) Nature resort and SPA. When I asked if I could inspect one of their chalets, he promptly showed me a superior unit.
The Superior units near the reception.
The deluxe units on the hill top.
Superior queen bed room.
The room was very clean and presentable with an ensuite shower, toilet and hand basin.
The Open-air restaurant just next to the reception.
Lobby area.
The resort has a beautiful river running through its boundary. It would be relaxing to to take a dip in the river on a hot day.
I was told that the special offer of RM99 per room is for 3days 2nights stay valid till 31May. I guess the new management may have to apply the same pricing strategy to overcome their low room occupancy. This attractive pricing is really value for money especially for those who love jungle activities, i.e. jungle trekking or bird watching. It would be an ideal location for school excursions or company outing trips for team building activities. Apart from that, there is really nothing much to do there in the middle of nowhere. The drive to this resort is approx., an hour plus from Kota Kinabalu.

i love Manis Manis.from the surrounding and it's location. a gem in the middle of secondary jungle. definitely has a great potential to be one of the best resort in Sabah. i heard the new owner is doing a lot of changes and renovations - especially their rooms and adding new amenities to it. we jungle trekked through their trail, wow...now that's what i call trekking. i can't wait for the spa to be ready. a great place to get away. not too far from kk yet away from everything.
