Found a gem! I fell in love with this hotel after just one stay ✨
Staying at a perfect hotel while traveling is so healing! The entire experience was fantastic from start to finish, I genuinely recommend it to everyone~
🌿 Environment
The whole place was clean, tidy, and cozy. The public areas were meticulously maintained, and the hallways were quiet and odor-free. The room had amazing natural light, a comfortable view, and good soundproofing, so I could get a peaceful, undisturbed rest after a long day out.
🛏️ Room Amenities
The bedding was soft and skin-friendly, and the mattress was just the right firmness—I slept straight through the night! The bathroom had a dry/wet separation, hot water came out quickly, and the toiletries were high quality. The air conditioning, WiFi, and charging ports all worked great, meeting all my daily needs. As someone who pays attention to details, I was super satisfied.
💰 Value for Money
Compared to other places of similar quality in the same area, the price was incredibly fair! New facilities, excellent hygiene, and attentive service—you get a high-quality experience without breaking the bank. Students and workers, just book it without hesitation; the value for money is absolutely legendary.

I expected a great hotel stay and they delivered. All the staff were lovely. Thank you for that.
My only issue is the lack of room information regarding what is available in the hotel. Normally I would expect marketing information and menus for restarunt and bar in the room. The TV does give room service menu but was not required.
Fortunately we found Ben, the Concierge in the lobby who very kindly explained what we asked, and provided a map for the area. Very welcome. Thank you very much.

The hotel is just a 10-minute walk from the beach, which is ranked as the third best sunset beach in the world. It's an older hotel with small balconies and a quiet atmosphere. The front desk was able to arrange an early check-in. They speak fluent English, but didn't understand any Chinese. There aren't many food stores nearby, and seafood is quite expensive. It's a convenient 10-kilometer taxi ride to the city center.

The room was much better than I expected, very spacious, clean, and tidy. The water quality in Kota Kinabalu is indeed just average, so I brought my own showerhead. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful.

This is a great hotel located near the city center and very convenient for the airport. The facilities are excellent, with everything you need, including a swimming pool and fitness center. It's a good option for a quick overnight stay if you arrive late at night, though the breakfast is just okay. The front desk staff were fairly friendly. The scent in the elevator was a bit odd, though.

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic – super convenient for getting to the pier, the beach, and for shopping. The Dawn Plaza right opposite is a huge plus. The sea view room offers an expansive view, and there's a balcony, even if the view is a bit obstructed. The hotel's design is well-thought-out, and the facilities are user-friendly and comfortable. There's a QR code on the hotel phone that you can scan for a Chinese service menu. The bathroom counter is spacious enough, and the infinity pool boasts a truly stunning view. All the service staff are very professional. The breakfast seating is well-organized, and the à la carte dishes at breakfast really speak to the quality.

Location & Transportation
”The hotel is centrally located, close to shopping districts and attractions. It's super convenient to get around by taxi or on foot, making travel stress-free.”
Room Experience
”The room was larger than expected, with a modern and minimalist design. The cleanliness was impeccable (e.g., odorless sheets, no water stains in the bathroom). The bedding was just the right firmness, ensuring a very comfortable sleep! The night view is absolutely stunning, and the floor-to-ceiling windows with a large balcony offer incredible views of the sea, sunset, and evening glow.”

Stayed for 2 nights for business purposes
Booled for 2 days breakfast but eventually too tired to woke up very next morning so i skipped it
Anyways price was on the average to high side, internet wifi is ok
The downside is the spillage of water after u taking a shower, up to the toilet door, surprisingly water pressure was superb
5-10min to Imago Mall walking distance
Recommended to stay
Room was spacious
The hotel was good, a detached building, not an apartment. It was also easy to find (detached buildings usually are). The room was nice, and there's a pool on the third floor. They also offer luggage storage. The only slight downside was that the front desk staff didn't speak Chinese, so we had to use a translation app.
Very Good

Very Good
Great hotel and staff. The morning breakfast is the best. We loved it. The location is far from Gaya street though.
I particularly love the location, 15 mins' ride to airport and 10 mins' ride to the city centre. The area of the resort is large, next to the sea, with quite some water or other kids activities available. We didn't try the pools but look nice. Breakfast has a wide variety with something different each day. The hotel is a bit aged and torn. Cleanliness inside the room and common areas (carpets) should be better.
We stayed 2 nights and had a fantastic stay despite the bad weather on the first day. We received great services from the resort management team Mr Karl, Ms Siti, Mdm Lydia also from the restaurant and recreational team members. We look forward to be back again! Booked the family suite that is beautifully furnished and got a fantastic view of Mt Kinabalu from the room as well as variety of fishes swimming below us. Snorkelling and kayaking are complimentary for the entire day and was great way for us to explore the beautiful waters. On the last day, we unfortunately left our tablet in the room and we were notified immediately upon arrival at the jetty and the resort arranged it to be delivered to their jetty office within the same afternoon. Overall it was a great experience and the welcoming and departure greetings by the management team were certainly memorable and beyond our expectations!
The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was suitable for a family and for those who prefer to relax. The view from our room was fascinating and breathtaking. Their food is super tasty. We only need 5 to 10 minutes to access food places and a trip package to Pasar Semporna. We will book this hotel again once we come back to Semporna.
Not as good as my expectations of 5 stars of shangri la hotel, but still in great value and services consider the price is much cheaper. I came with my family including 2 kids at 6 and 8, they love the game area and swimming pools with water slides. Because of 2 nights stay in the wet seasons in September. especially after 5pm, a tropical rainfall so that I didn't get any chance to see sunset in the beaches. The beaches are not really good condition of sand quality. I enjoyed the morning hiking trip to the nearby hills and also the walk in the beach. Many wildlife and calm of the days.

Overall a pleasant stay. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location made it easy to get around Semporna. A few small areas could be improved, but still a good experience and worth recommending.
I had a pleasant stay at Promenade Hotel. The location is very convenient right in the city center, close to shopping malls, waterfront attractions, and dining options. It’s a great base for exploring Kota Kinabalu. The lobby and common areas are spacious and welcoming. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained with all the basic amenities I needed. The sea view rooms are especially worth it for the sunset views over the waterfront. Breakfast offered a good variety of local and international options, though the restaurant can get quite busy during peak hours. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, and check-in/check-out was smooth. Overall, everything was good 😊😊😊

Great
I recently stayed at Hyatt Regency Kinabalu and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, making it very convenient to explore the city. My room offered a stunning sea view, and watching the beautiful sunset from the comfort of the room was truly unforgettable. The environment was relaxing, clean, and well maintained, creating a pleasant atmosphere throughout the stay. One highlight was the superb Japanese food, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Overall, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu delivered comfort, great views, and excellent dining.
