I’ve always loved everything about Shangri-La — not
really sure how many times I’ve been here already! Maybe 8-9th time like that
This time, I was pleasantly surprised when my room was upgraded from tg pool view to sea view. ************* 🌅 Room 231 had such a stunning view — absolutely beautiful!
The only thing that could be improved would be the breakfast. There were plenty of options, which is great, but the taste wasn’t quite the same this time. The kuey teow was a bit bland, the beef strips were really salty, and the hash browns weren’t as crispy as they used to be.
Hopefully Shangri-La can bring back the usual delicious taste that we all love

Had a pleasant stay for a short business trip. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Amenities were complete, especially the gym which was convenient and clean. Location is also strategic with easy access to nearby restaurants and conveniences. Overall, a comfortable and hassle-free experience. Would definitely consider staying here again for future work trips.

Good location - We stayed here only for 1 night before catching a morning flight after a trip to Manukan Island. It was about 15 mins from the airport and 6 mins from Sutera Harbour. We were able to check in early at about 1pm. It was a great location with the market and food stalls just in front of the hotel. There was also the night market just beside the hotel.
Club lounge - We enjoyed our time at the club lobby with unlimited alcoholic drinks from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. The service staff were very patient, welcoming, and attentive.
Room - we had the king room with City view. The room was spacious and clean. While it was stated city view, we were able to have a view of the harbour and Mt Kinabalu at the far distance.

Room is clean and comfortable. I love the sunset view here. Breakfast has variety of choices but taste can improve. But sometimes too many people during sunset hour it feels crowded I wonder if they open to public too or just for hotel guests only.

Very nice view but it’s hard if you wish to find food outside since you have to grab out. Food delivery is not allowed. The food options are good but of course it’s for the price that you pay. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
“Clean, Quiet, and Comfortable”
I stayed here for one night and had a very pleasant experience. My room was clean and I was happy to have a room with a pool view. The hotel was quiet, which allowed for a good night's rest. Perfect for a short stopover.
Hotel is a little off from city centre, hotel providing shuttle bus but still a hassle to spend hours on road.
hotel is a perfect place to spend days with family and just chill. there are plenty of activities planned for kids to keep them busy. Discovery center and Water sports center provides activities with charges.
Due to the fact of by the beach, to maintain a perfect cleaniless is a challenge but hotel has done it well, very comfortable to stay in the room.
The staffs hospitality is what we like the most here, they are really friendly and usually initiate conversation with the guests.

Wonderful customer service from the proprietor, they were helpful with local information and flexible with the room. Converted and remodelled unit in a residential/business block above the Imago shopping centre, room was compact but nicely setup with classy decor. Tea, coffee, water, and 2 x crisps provided daily. Access to two good sized outdoor pools, lots of restaurants on the street and mall plus money exchange over the road. Excellent location, main tourist attractions are a short taxi ride away.
What a surprise, the carpet was too old with iron stain, look like 30 years without change. My room was located at 11th floor with only 2 rooms occupied. Very quiet and scary. The restaurant was nice view with Tawau scenes. Don't expect too much if you want to choose the great hotel at Tawau. This is the best as there have.
Very Good

EElizabeth Ong Hui LingService is excellent. Staff do not hesitate to help, always address travellers politely, and take the initiative to serve water, give suggestions, overall making your experience smooth and fulfilling.
Food is also very delicious — other reviews say the food is pricey, but I think it’s quite affordable and well worth the price.
Rooms are large, comfortable and well-furnished.
Will definitely be back!

AAnonymous UserThe island trip was truly unforgettable, the service was excellent, the staff were warm and welcoming, breakfast was a great experience thanks to the staff Anizah, who were attentive, friendly, and always ready to assist, the room was comfortable, every moment was filled with memories that will be cherished for a long time. And thank you to Arthur for always being helpful. Will come back again.

KKara TaiThe resort is very easy to get to from Kota Kinabalu airport. Using the Grab app makes it convenient to call a car to take you to the Jesselton Point to catch the boat to the resort.
The resort is quite beautiful and clean. Reading other reviews, I wasn’t quite sure why several had complaints about the price and food. The food was all excellent - fresh and reasonably priced. We ate at both specialty restaurants as well - Fisherman’s Cove and Omakase - and both were excellent. The breakfast and dinner buffets had a lot of variety to choose from and all the staff were friendly and helpful.
The bed was incredibly comfortable and we loved the sea view from our terrace. The bathroom was well-equipped and spacious. The pool was very clean and there were plenty of sun chairs to choose from. The gift shop had many cute items.
The spa is beautiful and the massage was amazing!
What needs improvement - the bathtub in our villa was a bit dirty with some dead bugs.
It’s fantastic that they offer a complimentary boat shuttle to the other bay near the marine center but it’s extremely littered with plastic. I asked the staff for a garbage bag and ended up collecting about 5 kg worth of garbage from the beach and sea. This should be the government policy or authorities responsibility - they need to clean it up and charge fines for littering.
Overall, we loved this resort and wanted to stay longer. We definitely recommend staying here. I would like to specifically mention Aileen, Rozana, Nathaniel and Shadar for making our stay memorable and comfortable.

VVincentRelaxing environment and good service esp. the credit shall go to the F&B team, though a bit pricey but the food quality is there. Snorkelling at the beach is a must go, if you stay here for a couple of days you may bypass the island hopping.
NNamesuiyibaThis is my third time staying here. First and foremost, I'd say this hotel offers excellent value for money.
Second, definitely opt for a newly renovated room. For just over 100 RMB more, the experience is significantly better, making it well worth the extra cost.
Breakfast is pretty dismal with very little to choose from, and the dining area gets incredibly crowded. Furthermore, they now have staff at the entrance strictly checking breakfast vouchers, so don't expect taller children to get a free meal.
Lastly, I've driven here for all three of my stays. If you're not driving, the location is quite remote, with no shops or restaurants nearby – you'd need at least a 15-minute drive to find anything.
FFlowerailvxingThe room is large, with a high roof and wooden structure. Although it is a bit old, it is very clean. I like it very much. The beach is particularly beautiful and very photogenic. You can often see turtles and clownfish. I really like it.
