"The accommodation was really clean overall and the facilities were great. All the staff were very friendly, so I was able to stay comfortably. The pool was also beautiful and had a nice atmosphere, which I really liked! The only slight disappointment was the view, as there was a building under construction right in front of the pool. Overall, it was a satisfying stay, and I'd love to visit again if I have the chance."

Hotel near Kota Kinabalu City Center,Kota Kinabalu
With a stay at Ritz Residence @ Imago Mall Loft B, you'll be centrally located in Kota Kinabalu, steps from Imago Shopping Mall and 6 minutes by foot from Kota Kinabalu Esplanade. This luxury hotel is 0.6 mi (0.9 km) from Gleneagles Hospital and 1.2 mi (1.9 km) from Plaza Wawasan. Pamper yourself with a visit to the spa, which offers body treatments and facials. You're sure to appreciate the recreational amenities, which include 2 outdoor pools, a waterslide, and a sauna. Additional amenities at this hotel include complimentary wireless internet access, concierge services, and gift shops/newsstands. Grab a bite to eat at KFC, one of the hotel's many dining establishments, which include 20 restaurants and 20 coffee shops/cafes. Relax with a refreshing drink at one of the 3 bars/lounges. Featured amenities include a 24-hour business center, express check-out, and dry cleaning/laundry services. Free self parking is available onsite. Make yourself at home in one of the 24 air-conditioned rooms featuring free minibar items. Your pillowtop bed comes with down comforters and Egyptian cotton sheets. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Private bathrooms with separate bathtubs and showers feature rainfall showerheads and designer toiletries.

"Service: Absolutely fantastic! They provide complimentary waterproof phone pouches, raincoats, eye masks, and other little essentials. Plus, there are free iced drinks and, best of all, free laundry service – perfect for a trip to Sabah! The laundry is super fast too, and the housekeeper is very responsive to guests' needs. Facilities: Not great, actually. The space is small, and the apartment design has some issues. The shower stall has a tiny bathtub that's neither comfortable for a bath nor spacious enough for a shower. And the sink is a nightmare – water splashes everywhere the moment you wash your hands, so it feels like you're washing your hands and feet at the same time. Environment: It's an apartment within the Imago mall. Plane noise is quite noticeable, so I wouldn't recommend it if you're a light sleeper. Since everyone takes taxis around here, convenience of transportation isn't really an issue. There's also a fish noodle restaurant in the mall that wasn't very good. Cleanliness: Good. It was clean and tidy, with no visible stains."

Hotel near Kota Kinabalu City Center,Kota Kinabalu
A luxurious destination for vacationers and business travelers alike, Sheraton Kota Kinabalu offers an elevated haven of relaxation, wellbeing, and timeless sophistication. Occupying a lofty position in one of Borneo's tallest towers, our hotel is ideally placed within the vibrant heart of Kota Kinabalu. Many of the city's top attractions are within walking distance, including Gaya Street Sunday Market and Centre Point Sabah, while Tanjung Aru Beach is just a short drive away. Sheraton Kota Kinabalu is curated with 307 elegant guest rooms and suites, each blending spacious dimensions with contemporary comforts. Our hotel features a collection of dining options, showcasing delicious cuisine to suit every taste, while crafted cocktails are savored with sunset views at the rooftop bar. Experience world-class wellness at the Shine Spa, followed by a fitness center workout or a swim. There are also tasteful event spaces for hosting exceptional functions, from destination weddings to meetings, galas, and more.

"The hotel's cleaning service was very sloppy. The room was supposedly cleaned while I was out getting food, but when I came back, the trash on the floor hadn't been picked up. I stayed for three nights, and they didn't replace the slippers unless I called the front desk – I've never encountered that before. The service was also quite poor. I wouldn't say it was good or bad, but definitely indifferent. The first room we checked into was dirty, both the table and the floor, and the air quality was terrible. We were later moved to another room, which they called a complimentary upgrade (though it didn't really matter), and the air was noticeably better there. As for soundproofing, we were on the 17th floor, and there was basically no soundproofing at night. We could clearly hear the traffic downstairs and people singing during the day. I don't understand why they don't use soundproof windows these days? Overall, the stay was very unsatisfactory, and I'd say quite disappointing. The hotel's location is decent; it's 20 minutes to the airport, and the main streets are within walking distance, but they're all tourist traps, which was a letdown."

"Seriously, just book it with your eyes closed! The environment, facilities, and service are all top-notch. The scenery is beautiful, and you can use both their pool and the Magellan's pool, so you get double the fun. The room was huge, and they proactively offered an extra bed, which was wonderful. There's a small private bay with a beach where you can snorkel. The water quality isn't great, but there are fish, which was quite interesting. You don't need to go to Tanjung Aru to watch the sunset, where it's incredibly crowded; this hotel offers a stunning sunset view. I watched it for three consecutive nights and was absolutely amazed."

"The hotel's central location was fantastic for getting to shopping malls, the port, and the airport. As it was a suite, they replenished the bottled water daily—I think it was 6 bottles—which was great as I didn't need to buy any. The bathtub was perfect for unwinding after a day of travel, and the staff's response was excellent. When the air conditioner broke down late at night, they arrived within 5 minutes of my call and fixed it right away. The only downside was the breakfast; it wasn't great (even the lounge breakfast felt like a scaled-down version of the regular one, with not much to eat), so I skipped it a few times."

"Я в восторге от этих апартаментов!! Сопровождение менеджером началось за неделю до поездки: заранее со мной связались в WA и направили подробные инструкции по заселению. Нюанс: нет платного раннего заселения, но при наличии свободных комнат могут принять раньше. Номер просто wow, есть все для проживания, если б ты приехал в одних шортах)) - все туалетные принадлежности, крем для рук и одноразовые шампуни L’Occitane, маска для сна, беруши, зонтик или дождевик и всякие нужные мелочи. В общем коридоре стоит холодильник в кока-колой, спрайтом и пр, питьевой воды - сколько хочешь! В самом номере и кружки Старбакс, и фен Дайсон с классными насадками. Ремонт свежий: прямо глаз радуется свежей затирке между кафелем!! 😁 Нюанс: мне одной было тесно. Так, далее: территория как в небольшом турецком отеле: 2 бассейна, спорт зал, баскетбольная площадка, детская площадка, прогулочные зелёные дорожки. Но не лежаков для загара, и как будто здесь не принято лежать у бассейна, хотя менеджер сказал мне, чтоб могу загоратт на здоровье. Расположение удобное! Рядом очень много кафе и ресторанов, аппарты находятся в самом Торговом центре (там кстати и обменник есть на минус 1м). Резюмирую: настоятельно рекомендую, а внимание к нюансам, потому что я опытный турист."

The water in the hotel's area is heavily polluted; it's so dirty that snorkeling is completely out of the question! The front desk staff were very perfunctory with guest requests and didn't follow through on promises. In the morning, we requested a private boat tour for island hopping and snorkeling. We discussed the time and itinerary with the dive center staff and finalized the price with the front desk. We even altered our subsequent travel plans for this. However, by 4 PM, we still hadn't received confirmation. When we called the front desk, they told us they couldn't arrange it. We asked several people, and got different explanations: first they said there were no boats, then that other guests had already been arranged for island hopping, and then that there would be a storm the next day (which turned out to be perfectly calm). I suggest the hotel improve its island hopping service. For those looking to dive, definitely don't consider this hotel! Also, the beach is incredibly tiny, barely palm-sized!

Getting there: You need to take the hotel's special speedboat from Megaton Jetty, which takes 10 minutes to reach the hotel's pier. This is charged per person. The hotel has a Southeast Asian resort vibe, with wooden structures that show their age. There are many monkeys 🐒 in the trees outside the room, as well as lizards of all sizes and hornbills. The sand isn't very fine, and the beach isn't large; it's not really big enough for a good walk. There are no other businesses, just the hotel's three restaurants. There are also corals 🪸 not far from the shore. Cleanliness: Average. Ambiance: If you're not too particular about room cleanliness, everything else is pretty good, but I personally care a lot about it. Service: Our luggage was taken directly to our room. When we were leaving, we had to depart at 6 AM, and they prepared breakfast for us – two large bags with fruit, bread, coffee, and milk. We mentioned that the shrimp was delicious but found some other dishes hard to get used to, so the chef specially prepared a delicious plate of shrimp just for us and brought it to our table.

This time I brought my family and we encountered heavy rain (luckily, we still enjoyed the most beautiful sunset in the evening). There was a 'fiasco' on the beach (the hotel's quick and professional handling made us feel even more at ease to relax and play), and a 'four-legged intruder' in the pool (the hotel swiftly caught and relocated it). We saw little squirrels, stepped on live clams, admired the full moon on the 16th, and celebrated my father's birthday, which was all arranged by the hotel. RAINA's thoughtful advice about the road construction saved us from missing our flight, and so much more. If you're coming to Kota Kinabalu for a sunset holiday and have the budget, come to Shangri-La Rasa Ria. And if you ever meet RAINA again, just hand all your troubles over to her! ☺

The room hygiene was pretty good. The environment was mostly fine, quite suitable for taking photos and checking in. There weren't many people watching the sunset in the afternoon, so overall it was good. As for service, it was okay after check-in, and they offered luggage storage. However, the hotel's policy of a unified check-in time at 3:00 PM, with no early check-in allowed, feels a bit inhumane. Are all rooms only cleaned by 3:00 PM? Shouldn't guests be notified for check-in as soon as a room is ready? We even had to queue for breakfast in the morning. I was aware that the facilities were old beforehand, so that was acceptable. You can snorkel at the hotel, and there are quite a lot of fish. Also, you can see sea urchins by the beach next to one of the swimming pools.

Everything was perfect. Every staff member at the resort was incredibly welcoming and helpful, even the maintenance workers I passed on the paths greeted me warmly. The food in the restaurant was delicious, and breakfast was absolutely perfect – I couldn't find a single fault. The resort doesn't cut back on service or close facilities just because there are fewer guests, which is great. It was a perfect getaway, and I will definitely be returning.

How do I put it? It wasn't particularly outstanding. I was originally torn between the Hyatt Centric and The Magellan Sutera, but once I arrived, I realized the Marriott is essentially in the middle ground between the two, both in terms of location and hotel type. The Hyatt Centric is downtown with numerous eateries right downstairs, while The Magellan Sutera is more of a secluded beach resort. The Marriott is in between, so it doesn't quite excel at either. It's true that there are motorcycles revving down the street if you have a city view, but it didn't really affect my sleep. It's also under the flight path, but there weren't many planes at night. To the south, there's a Bataras supermarket, and their pomelos are highly recommended this season. Further south is Imago. The area directly downstairs from the hotel itself is a bit desolate. The infinity pool on the 8th floor is decent, but there are no changing rooms.

First, we gathered at the jetty, and then the second picture shows the bus taking us back to Tawau Airport from Semporna. It was fantastic; I'm so glad I chose this. The value of this long-standing five-star hotel keeps increasing. The service was excellent, and extra meals were served promptly. The buggy service was also very quick. The underwater scenery was even more vibrant and colorful. The sunset was also beautiful. There were so many sea turtles, we encountered them everywhere, along with manta rays and various schools of fish. It was breathtaking. I'll definitely go again if I have the chance. I've already recommended it to my friends!
