Not worth at all . Seems the staff never attended a training and are very cold and far to be custom oriented. Requested made took ages to be delivered , and did only requested several times . Besides of the pool side , all facilities and room setting are old , forget the beach thing , can be called beach .
Funny thing, the other sangri-la Rasa Ria , the experience was wonderful, all the staff has been very nice . So if you have to choose please go to Sangri-la Rasa Ria instead of Tanjung !
Btw , the night show was good, and breakfast also good options . The dinner outside was very poor prepared 🥲

This is perfect for family vacation. This is my forth time to stay in Shangri-la Tanjung Aru, their sun set is memorable. The staff there are nice and my kids enjoyed to stay there so much! Looking forward to go there again in the future!

Big hotel compound, and the rooms, service and amenities are good and sufficient. Room furnishing may be a little dated but definitely clean. We had whatever we needed. There was a resort feel to the place and we loved the Christmas decorations. Breakfast buffet was yummy and had wide selection. There were many kids' activities that we wanted to try but didn't have time. Would highly recommend this hotel!

A stunning hotel with poor service.
The location is perfect for those looking to get from the airport and into relaxing mode.
The amenities are first class and the food options are good.
But,
The service is so poor in comparison to the Shangri-la Ria rasa, just down the road.
After staying at both, it feels like different companies.
Before I arrived I asked both hotels for excursion and activity reccomendations. Ria rasa helped and booked multiple exciting tours.
This hotel didn't respond multiple times, so I chased and emailed again and again. Eventually being sent a link to an excursion company with tons of 3-5 day jungle tours. This was a two night stay.
When we arrived I asked again about activities. I was sent to a desk that nobody was stood at, waited for far too long, found a qr code messaged and was told it wasn't their job.
Eventually in the guest handbook I found the contact details for fishing and boat tour. I didn't get a reply until after all the next days tours had departed with a message saying we are full.
Honestly if you have the choice I would highly recommend the slightly longer transfer and head to the Shangri-la Ria Rasa instead. You'll be treated well, the hotel is more relaxing and the staff acknowledge your existence.
