I had a very good time with my fam at Shangri-La. Definitely will repeat again if i visit Kota Kinabalu

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

The room furnishings were a little dated however the whole vibe of the hotel resort made up for it 😊 We had good in-room dining food and a good spa experience at Chi, The Spa. Only unfortunate thing was we didn’t catch Sabah’s magnificent sunsets from our sea-facing room balcony on both evenings due to the rainy weather - guess we’ll be back! 😅

Walaweh! First of all, thank you for the complimentary upgrade – perks of being a TRIP.com regular customer 🤣
Top tier service! Thank you, Shangri-La, for giving us such a wonderful experience. We truly loved our stay here, and *************, we got to witness the most beautiful sunset.
Most importantly, thank you for prioritizing our child’s comfort – it really means a lot to us. 💖

On of the best hotel in KK! From front desk to housekeeping, it was such a great experience! Include your breakfast package if you decided to stay here! You won’t regret it! Spread of selection for you, noodles, rice, sushi, you name it! Definitely worth it! The scenery and view from the hotel room was breathtaking. You’re able to see Mt Kinabalu (if it’s not raining!). Sky is super bright by 5:45-6am, be sure to catch the sunrise ! Overall, no regret choosing this hotel for my 5D4N trip! 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻
