Ocean Bay

This massive, 195-room property in Bakau has bright, handsomely furnished rooms and suites with all the mod cons – air-con, in-room safe, flat-screen TVs. Pricier rooms have balconies with sea views. The huge pool, exercise room, bar, and restaurant (with a great breakfast buffet) add to the value – though the biggest draw is having the beach right at your (back) door.
