"It was great and convenient stay. The parking were quite hustled a bit (because the hotel were connected to the mall i guess), except if you added 50/15myr per day for the valet parking. The room were better compared to those other legend hotels in Tawau; the floor carpet bit dirty and furniture quite oldies. The tv were working fine. The toilet were average; not to dirty but not too clean also. Toiletries were okay BUT they don’t provide toothbrush. Hm. Also we got the room that were strategically behind the aircond blower of the mall. The room soundproof quite decent; you can still hear people talking when they were at the hallways. The mall behind got lot of shop; stalls, restaurant, saloon, cinema, massage parlour and at night, you can also enjoy a street food market 4 minutes by walking on the other side of the hotel. So far we enjoyed the stay here. The staffs were varies; some were good; some maybe tired or just lazy, idk but checkin and out process were smooth."

"I contacted customer service in advance, and they were always responsive. For our celebration, they even provided some simple decorations, which was a pleasant surprise when we checked in! Our flight was delayed, and although the official check-in time was before 24:00, we were still able to check in smoothly more than half an hour late that day (we hadn't anticipated the delay would be that long). The room view was really good (it's a pity we didn't stay in the room until evening, otherwise, watching the sunset would have been great!). There's also an outdoor viewing area on the 6th floor, but we didn't stay long enough for its operating hours. The room size was decent, with just one chair, but it had a full kitchen with almost all utensils provided! The bathroom also had toiletries. The breakfast included in the room rate was a nice bonus. The best part was definitely the infinity pool! It was still cool and out of the sun at 8:00 AM. I stayed at both Citadines Waterfront and The Shore in Kota Kinabalu, and it turns out they're in the same building but with separate entrances (they are interconnected). The pool on the 6th floor is directly separated, which is pretty cool."

"The hotel is separated from the sea by a seafood market, so the view isn't strictly beachfront. There was a damp smell in the room, but I got used to it after a while. The shower stall leaks, and the bathroom floor is tiled without anti-slip properties, so be careful not to slip. The sea view is great. The executive lounge is just so-so, but the view from there is decent. The rooftop open-air bar is fantastic, well-priced, and offers good views. Sometimes there are Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk, sometimes not, but their service attitude is always excellent and friendly, so communication isn't an issue. Breakfast didn't really suit my taste; it felt quite Westernized. The hotel is very close to Gaya Street, about a 10-ringgit taxi ride or a 1.5km walk. For a few hundred [currency unit], I think it's great value for money. If it were over a thousand, I'd probably look elsewhere."

"The location is excellent, just a short walk to popular eateries like Shuang Tian, Da Jia Lai, and Tian Xia Ke. I usually don't book breakfast when I reserve a hotel, but I saw a special deal this time and many people raved about the variety, so I decided to try it. There was indeed a good selection, and I especially enjoyed the hot noodles from the noodle station. Oh, one thing I wasn't happy with was the elevator's scent – it was way too strong. I had to hold my breath every time I went in. Could you perhaps choose a more subtle fragrance?"

"Stayed in Nepenthes Suite. It’s close to many hiking trails in Kinabalu park and hence it’s in the midst of nature. You can go on trails of varying lengths and difficulty. Lots of birdwatching too. However one will need to rent a car or hire a driver to reach this place from KK city. And without a vehicle it’s difficult to explore the surrounding places. But if you are content to just relax and take walks in the park and enjoy nature this is a great place to stay. However the rooms are dated especially the pantry and bathroom. They encourage you to take breakfast later at 9am instead of 6.30 am. This is to avoid the rush hour when those climbing mt Kinabalu take breakfast before their ascent. However I found that some of the items were already no longer available and they were not replenished."

"I can't believe the condition of this place for the price. I was so satisfied! First, I didn't see a single bug in the room, the bathroom was clean, and the water pressure was great. It was a little disappointing that there was no scalding hot water, but it was still warm and good. The shower filter didn't fit, so I couldn't use it, but the water quality was good! The refrigerator worked well, there were various cooking utensils, and the room was spacious. The balcony view was amazing, and the air conditioning worked well... I genuinely liked everything. The only downside is that the complimentary towels were only very large, which was a bit inconvenient. I recommend bringing old towels to use and throw away. Other than that, there aren't really any drawbacks. Thumbs up! Since I traveled everywhere by taxi anyway, the location was also quite good."

"Excellent hotel, surrounded by lush greenery, and there's even a monitor lizard on the premises. We had a ground-floor room with a stunning sea view. The room was large and felt fresh, likely one of those that had been renovated. Breakfast was excellent, with a huge selection of both European and Asian cuisine. You could order eggs cooked to your liking, make soup, try Indian-style roti, and there was plenty of fruit and vegetables, yogurt, and even Gouda and Parmesan cheeses, delicious croissants, and a coffee machine. Overall, highly recommended!"

Housekeeping: On the 27th, they said it was a holiday and wouldn't be cleaning, so I just asked for a fresh towel. They didn't clean for the next few days either; I had to specifically ask them to clean the room. Environment: It's not soundproofed at all. The road outside is very noisy, and there were motorcycles revving loudly late at night. Couldn't sleep without earplugs. Service: Overall, the service was quite good. They were very responsive to requests."

I booked three nights, in different room types. The twin room and the standard king room were the same size, so the twin room felt a bit small, but it was still perfectly adequate. To switch rooms, I had to check out by 12 PM, but I didn't necessarily have to wait until 3 PM to check into the next room. One day I could check in at 1 PM, and another day I was able to check in at 12:30 PM. Just enough time to grab a bite to eat. I found it all quite convenient.
