"We like this place as it is the closest to the most beautiful mountain view of Mount Kinabalu. The rooms had bed sufficient for up to 10 pax. Kitchen is well equipped and we can whip up meals conveniently. Staffs are friendly. We will come back again. "
"Very basic but excellent location v near NP entrance, and kind hosts. Wifi was pretty good when switched on. Restaurant opposite park entrance offered breakfast from 6.30. My room was rather tired with barely functioning plumbing, but perfectly adequate considering the location benefit."
"The property have no wifi, no TV, water heater handle was loose and the water is not hot.
The carpet is dirty, just a very basic room with view.
Base on what I have paid, this is not worth for the price."
"Great place to stay at, within Mt Kinabalu Park. Excellent services and friendly staff. Great place to stay at if you like trekking. Good food and a nice fireplace to keep warm during cold evenings. "
"The Resort is set in a stunning location with wonderful views of Mount Kinabalu from the affiliated Restaurant. A stay in one of their 2 longhouses is a must and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The only downside to our stay was that we didn't get to try their famous homemade scones as they are too popular! "

"The only recommendation would be for the Japanese restaurant to use less garlic when making the fried rice.
The breakfast buffet and dinner buffet offered a large variety of choices-fresh and delicious.
We recommend a stay in an ocean view suite for couples who plan to visit. It offered an outdoor soak tub to allow one to watch the sun set into the sea.
Little things made the differences at the Shangri-La Rasa Ria:
• cold face towel when sitting by the pool
• family friendly pools and activities for those travelling with little munchkins
• accessibility friendly
• located right on the sandy beach
• multiple pillow options - AMAZING!
• laundry service at an amazing price
• a thank-you note from the room attendants sealed the deal on the day of check-out
Service was excellent from the moment we arrived to the sad moment when we had to leave.
Looking forward to another stay soon!!!"
"Spacious clean rooms. Friendly staff. Incredible food. Excellent location- walking distance to the food markets, Sunday markets, the ferry port and malls. Special mention again to all staff there- extremely friendly and helpful. We had a great stay, thank you!"
"We loved our stay at Ibis Styles Inanam! The room was delightfully spacious, and the washroom just as generous. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful with all our inquiries, making check-in a breeze.
The hotel is tucked away from the city’s hustle and bustle, yet conveniently located with good amenities nearby — a supermarket just 2 minutes’ walk away, a Chinese seafood restaurant right next door, a shopping mall close by with many local cafes/eateries in vicinity.
For a deeper taste of local culture, hop on a 30-minute Grab ride to Gaya Street, where you can immerse yourself in fun-filled activities and vibrant night markets."
"Not bad not great. The place needs some upkeep, but they trying.
You can tell at one time this was a very nice place, but that was a time ago. The beach is nice and the AC worked for the most part.
There is limited dining close by. And we did see a couple cockroaches in the place. One was huge.
For what we were doing on vacation I think I would have been happier staying at the Marriott in KK for MYR 20 less a night. "
"The hotel is in a beautiful setting. On arrival James and Felix gave us a lovely welcome & explained where everything could be found, we received a room upgrade with a sea view & balcony as they are completing works / upgrades to the restaurant & rooms. The works took place from 8am onwards, it didn't effect us. Its great to see the money being invested. Our upgraded room was beautiful with a wonderful sea view. The food in the restaurants was of a very high standard, the same for the breakfast. All the staff are an absolute credit to the hotel, the staff on reception, restaurant (evening and breakfast), tthe pool staff, the bar, the cleaners, even the workmen onsite. Very polite and can't do enough for you. Highly recommend, we will definitely be going back in the future. Large list of available day trips and things to do, away from the hotel and plenty to do at the hotel, water sports etc, highly recommend the spa, we had a massage which was amazing. Large list of treatments, all very reasonably priced. Thank you to everyone at the hotel that made our honeymoon & holiday so special. "
"Great views. If you don't have your own transportation, you're a bit isolated here. But that's part of the draw. It's about an hour's drive from the city, and it's generally quiet and has fantastic scenery. On weekends, it gets a little busy with day visitors who come for the sunset and enjoy a meal in the restaurant."
"Great hotel! We stayed there twice during our trip to Mount Kinabalu. The room was nice sized, bathroom was perfect and breakfast was good. Will stay again when in KK. "
