Hotel Dengan Gym di Sabah, Malaysia

Overall, the hotel is good, especially because of its convenient location near a shopping mall, making it easy to purchase daily necessities and other items. The breakfast café is spacious and offers a wide variety of food choices. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. While the breakfast selection is extensive, the taste of the food was somewhat disappointing and could be enhanced. In addition, the cleanliness of the room needs more attention. The floor felt dusty, as if it had not been properly swept or vacuumed. Guests who are not comfortable wearing the hotel slippers may notice the dust more easily. With improvements to room cleanliness and food quality, the overall guest experience would be much better.

Many people visit Kota Kinabalu just for its legendary sunsets, rumored to be among the top three in the world 🌇. That's why we chose to stay at Shangri-La Tanjung Aru. The hotel boasts its own private beach, so you don't have to jostle with crowds at the public Tanjung Aru beach. The Sunset Bar, the lawn, and the beachfront boardwalk all offer incredible vantage points for the sunset. Although there was haze when we visited, we were lucky enough to catch a decent sunset that day 🌇 – a delicate pink and purple hue, perfect for photos. To be honest, the hotel 🏨 grounds are massive, to the point where it's easy to get lost. After checking in, we couldn't find our room initially and had to ask staff to escort us. Even checking out, we almost couldn't find the front desk. However, the hotel offers a plethora of activities, and we simply didn't have enough time to explore everything. If you're booking, I recommend getting a ground-floor sea view room. You can walk straight from your balcony to the beach, saving you a long detour. Guests get priority for sunset viewing spots at the bar, with three price tiers. I think even if you book the cheapest option, you can still take photos in the more expensive sofa areas – no big deal. We booked the 198MB per person high-top seats, and the sunset photos turned out amazing. The hotel even provides beach flip-flops, which is a thoughtful touch. However, when I called the front desk later that evening to request another pair, they sent a different type of standard hotel slipper. The person who delivered them seemed to be a local, and communication was a bit difficult. When I explained I wanted the other type, he seemed annoyed or something, and told me they only provide them once and don't restock those specific flip-flops. Is that really a rule? I think it's just laziness; that staff member was unhelpful 🙅‍♀️. On a positive note, I have to commend the bar staff. They're super engaging, posing with a🫰 hand gesture in photos and even showing off a cool trick, balancing a bottle on their elbow – absolutely brilliant. Another special shout-out goes to the young man at the coconut 🥥 stall by the beach. He's genuinely handsome and kind, with a great personality. It was incredibly hot on the beach that day, so we went to buy a coconut drink. While chatting, he asked how many days we were staying, and I mentioned I was leaving that very day. When it was time to pay, he refused to take my money, saying it was on him since it was my last day. I was so touched by his generosity. The hotel breakfast is incredibly rich and delicious, with something for everyone. I would definitely book here again next time. Everything was wonderful. I imagine many people also have lawn weddings here – it must be so romantic. If you're going diving at Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, it's very close to this hotel too.

I chose this hotel for a one-night stay before heading to the overwater bungalow the next day. Although the room facilities were a bit old, they were very clean. There's a convenience store right downstairs, and it's very close to the pier. The sea breeze was a bit loud at night, but the breakfast was excellent and plentiful.

The staff friendliness is just amzing 10/10. Excellent Service.Our room had amazing view of the sea and opposite resort called Gayana. Dinner: Only Buffet option is available and its about RM167/person +taxes. The spread are fairly good and it is delicious. Though they do have 2 more different Restaurant in the island,Japanese and fine dining. Breakfast: Included in the room price. Menu changes daily. I have nothing to complaint about the room,for us its comfortable.All rooms have exactly the dane Designs the only difference is where it is located. You are paying for the view. Activities: For me I think 3 days 2 nights are perfect to spend your time here, swimming by the pool,kayaking,snorkling,Jungle trekking, visiting the private beach. 1 hour complimentary use of snorklinh masks. I like the public guests showers and towel provided.Very convinient. One thing that I would like to comment is the boat fees are relatively very expansive.15 mins speedboat per person one way cost about Rm80+taxes..Just return trip cost RM170++ per person. This is not even including island conservation fees and tourist fees. All this added fees makes the Hotel cost more expansive. Because a boat trip to nearby or same Island cost only Rm40. GAYANA ECO RESORT provided inclusive/complimentary return boat fees. I hope the Management can improve this because we as Guests are going to spend more money on F&B and at the Bar. Last but not least I would like to compliment the service and staffs in thsi Resort I think they did such an amazing job. Overalö the Resort is beautiful andclose to the nature.

The location is excellent. Great value for money too. During my 6-night stay, I used breakfast once, and I was satisfied with the quality. From the window, you can see the port of Jezertun directly, and across the way is Suriasbahamol. It was nice that it was close to Filipino Market and Gayatri Street, and there was a convenience store and a bank. The room cleaning wasn’t done properly, so I mentioned it, and it was fixed immediately. I changed the shower filter every other day. Best value-for-money hotel. If I go to Kota Kinabalu again, I will use it once more. A little further on there’s a Dikingsaba durian shop, and it’s delicious.

The hotel is located an hour from the airport, costing less than 3000 yen by taxi. Tuaran, where the hotel is situated, is rich in nature, and I woke up to the sound of birds chirping. The sunset was exceptional. I requested a twin room with a sea view. Basic amenities were provided. The hotel is very environmentally conscious and mindful of SDGs. You can also enjoy the sunset from the window. If you have children, a pool view is recommended. I booked through Trip.com, so I couldn't earn points, which was a bit disappointing. However, there was no deposit required, and payments were made as we went. Regarding dining, the same menu was available everywhere in the poolside area. For an à la carte dinner or lunch, the prices were the same. A hamburger cost 2700 yen (it was so much food, we could have easily shared it). Pasta was around 2300 yen, and pizza started from 3000 yen, loaded with cheese. After ordering drinks, we were absolutely stuffed. We tried the seafood buffet on a Saturday. It was surprisingly delicious! For breakfast, everyone enjoyed the buffet, choosing whatever they liked. There were freshly baked and sliced breads, sweets, pancakes, and the doughnuts were particularly recommended. Malaysian doughnuts are excellent, and the ones at this hotel were truly delicious. For activities, there were horse rides along the beach, jungle walks, river cruises by boat, and banana boating was also pictured. There were different events each day; we saw the fire dance on Tuesday and Sunday evenings. During the day, you can book a bus to go to the mall for lunch. We had Chinese food and Burger King there. If you decide to stay at Rasa Ria, I recommend staying put and fully enjoying Tuaran rather than constantly going out. The portion sizes are generous.

Room filtered water has an unpleasant odor. Sutera Avenue lack of management maintenance, parking basement is dirty and dark, corridor amd lift also dirty.

Refurbished hotel. Located at sea front and near to airport and Jetty. Walkable to hypermarket and popular shopping mall, Imago. Nearby got night eateries by waterfront. Behind hotel has shops with laundry services. Service is friendly and responsive. Value for money. Con only is parking is chargeable at RM5 per day and room lights panel can be confusing.

Although it's still called Hyatt, it's very old and doesn't feel like a five-star hotel at all. The guest room corridors have very low ceilings and a musty smell. The rooms are quite old, the carpets have obvious stains, and the quality of amenities like slippers and tissues is quite poor. Despite booking a sea view room for four consecutive nights, the front desk only assigned us to the 2nd floor. It's incredibly close to the road, and the glass soundproofing is mediocre. We essentially couldn't open the curtains because people on the street could see directly into the room. The motorcycle noise continued until late at night, making earplugs a necessity.

Since I arrived in the morning, they allowed us to check in early for an additional 150 MYR, and even upgraded us to a one-bedroom apartment! It was absolutely worth it, working with a sea view. The breakfast was very average, not much variety. The location is excellent, close to the Jesselton Point ferry terminal and Gaya Street. Avoid the nearby Durian Street; the durians there have no aroma and taste bad. They're not as good as those in West Malaysia or Singapore. The soundproofing is terrible. There's a community mosque with a blue dome right below the window, and they use a real loudspeaker to call for prayer five times a day. If you're a light sleeper, you might want to choose a different hotel or bring earplugs... I really don't understand how the glass quality could be so poor.
