Shangri-La Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu: A Dreamy Stay

Shangri-La Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu: A Dreamy Stay In Kota Kinabalu, there is a place like a paradise on earth - Shangri-La Tanjung Aru. Once you step into the hotel, the lush greenery will catch your eye. The hotel corridor is like a path through a tropical rainforest, and the exquisite plant decorations make you feel like you are in a mysterious tropical jungle. But be careful of the occasional gecko. Here, whether in the corridor or the lobby, you can enjoy a unique view as long as you sit down, as if time has stopped for this beautiful scenery. The hotel's private beach is a highlight, as it is one of the "world's three most beautiful sunset spots." When the sun sets and the afterglow shines on the sea, the view is breathtaking. As for the rooms, although it is an old hotel and the facilities are a bit outdated, the cleanliness is impeccable. Each room has an outdoor balcony. The sea view room allows you to enjoy the beautiful sunset without leaving the room. The orange-red sunset reflected on the sea is like a natural oil painting. The mountain view room offers a wonderful view of the sea and mountains. Different rooms have different views, each with its own merits. Each room is also equipped with a capsule coffee machine, which is a thoughtful benefit for coffee lovers. The service is also commendable. From the moment you arrive at the hotel, the staff enthusiastically helps with your luggage and takes it directly to your room. The breakfast is rich and varied, catering to the tastes of travelers from all over the world. You can see many Korean tourists here. The hotel also has its own pier and boats, making island hopping and fishing very convenient. We went fishing, and it cost CNY 1,744 for four people to charter a boat for three hours. The unit price is higher for the first two hours, and it is cheaper to add an hour. The boat is spacious and can accommodate 6-8 people. If you want to save money, sharing a boat is a good choice. Although we only caught one small fish, we followed local regulations and released fish smaller than a forearm. This experience was also very interesting. In short, there are surprises everywhere, and it was an unforgettable stay.
