Kota Kinabalu City Center
Stayed here recently and had a pleasant experience. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location is convenient, close to major attractions, and the amenities were good for the price. Breakfast had a decent variety, though the coffee could have been better. Overall, a solid choice for a short stay. Would recommend!

A Memorable Stay with Exceptional Service and Comfort From the moment I arrived at Cititel , I knew I was in for a great experience. The staff greeted me warmly, and the check-in process was quick and seamless. My room was immaculate, with tasteful decor and an incredibly comfortable bed that ensured restful sleep every night. The amenities truly set this hotel apart. The rooftop pool provided stunning views, and the spa was the perfect place to unwind. I also dined at the hotel restaurant, where both the food and service were outstanding—especially the breakfast buffet, which offered fresh and delicious options. Location-wise, it’s ideally situated for sightseeing, shopping, and dining, with many attractions within easy walking distance. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the level of care the staff put into ensuring my stay was perfect. Overall, Cititel made my trip unforgettable. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious, and hassle-free stay. I can’t wait to return! **Rating:** 5/5

The hotel smells good. The room is spacious with plenty of chair to sit. They provide basic amenities. Checkin and checkout process was smooth. The only minor is the bed is in front of the door. So it’s not comfortable to sleep.

wonderful experience ! The grounds, with golf course, huge private beach and a forest reserve all of their own are just amazing! Beautiful two wings of the hotel are tastefully decorated. Fantastic food and beverage selections.friendly staff all around. Managed to do lots of activities like sunrise hike, bird watching, kayaking, buggy ride of golf course etc… really worth it! Very well managed property with caring and respectful staff. Really felt like home away from home in terms of comfort. Anything we wanted was delivered or taken care of without delay. Superb! It was our third time in Shangri la and we hope to return again here and try other properties too!

Been here for almost 3 times! The family room is too big and spacious, believe me it probably can even fit 7 adults considering there's sofa bed as well. However, you will need to go up to 2nd floor for that haha. If you need to use iron, there's an iron board outside of the room. The bathroom so spacious! One thing can be improved is please make sure there's staff at the counter. So hard that we need to call and wait for them especially when we are rushing to check out.

We booked 4days 3 nights. Everything is good. Only few things to be considerate. 1. Parking lot is quite narrow tbh. But safe anyway. 2. Second night we smell very strong smoking smell from the other connect room. But end up settle immediately. Very responsive.  3. Breakfast not much variety. Only until 10am. But convenience at some point. 4. Floor stepping sound is very easy to be heard. Even outside the room.  5. The hall way to swimming pool is very mouldy. Smells unpleasant.  Conclusion. Everything is good. With this price that’s what we can get.
Coco Scuba Inn Semporna 2

It was my first time to experience a water house. The slide went directly into the sea. It was very interesting. Service: The hotel's arrangements are in place and they can help you solve any problems you have. We booked a charter boat for snorkeling for two people. The instructor is also very professional and will dive to the bottom of the sea to help you catch the fish from the bottom of the sea. Facilities: As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't wait to experience the slide. At first, I was worried that I would sink into the sea if I slid down. There are life jackets at the front desk, so there is no need to worry. Free dinner: The dishes are very rich, the chicken is very tender, the crabs are also very fresh, there is crab roe in it, you can’t get enough of the shrimps

What a great, relaxing place this is! We booked our room by sending them a message in WhatsApp and had no issues. The location is around 15 km south from Kota Kinabalu airport which is great, because you get away from all the traffic noise of the city. You can hear the planes every now and then, but it is nothing like the noise in the KK center. For us the quiet surroundings were the really big thing. There are just a few sea view rooms and even when there were other customers, it was still peaceful and quiet. Sea view rooms have their own pool so most of the time it felt like having an own private pool just for us. The staff is friendly and helpful. They helped us to organise our next destination and also gave a hand when one of us got sick and needed to see a doctor. Their laundry service is great too: we gave a huge bag of laundry to them in the morning and got clean clothes back on the same day. Liza, the owner, is such a great personality and we had a great opportunity to taste a potential new sparkling wine with her. The restaurant is spacious with lovely view to the big yard and to the ocean. We liked their buffet breakfast, but on the last two morning they switched it to à la carte. For us it didn’t make a huge difference, because the food was plenty. It was pretty much the same as the buffet options but served to the table. The dinner menu has more western options than typical Malaysian restaurants. We tried spaghetti, lasagne and fish and enjoyed them all, but at the same time wished more local options. They do have surprisingly good selection of wines from all over the world. In addition to a few glasses of house wine, we ended up enjoying a bottle of Italian pinot grigio on the Valentine’s Day dinner.

The restaurant is relatively expensive compared to typical street food joints. Luckily, there is a really good local restaurant just a short walk away and we ended up eating there our last dinners. The Palm Square shopping area is just a quick Grab drive away and there you can find more local restaurants. Getting there costs 5 ringgits. Sea view rooms are clean and spacious. Shower has warm water, but sometimes it took a while to get it. Water pressure was weak but we managed with it. It is a really nice bonus that the pool is just few meters away from the room. Each room has their own decked terrace with a fan and two sunbeds. Like other have mentioned, there is a beach but it is not very good. They clean it, but the trash from the ocean piles up anyway. Annoying fact that affects so many beaches in Sabah. We spent five nights here and really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended!
