Wonderful

Room was very huge. I think maybe 8 people can sleep in our room. The ocean view was amazing and the sunset was the best in my life. The elevators were very fast and the staffs are very kind.
I had a fantastic experience. The room was clean, reflecting the high standards of the housekeeping staff. The front desk team was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing excellent local recommendations. Breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options, while the bar had a welcoming atmosphere with expertly crafted drinks. I highly recommend this property for its comfort and outstanding service.

Rooftop bar overlooking the water was a highlight. Fantastic sunset cocktails. Room was spacious, and bed was comfy! The staff were very welcoming, Anne was especially great.
This is a very fine modern hotel located in the heart of Kota Kinabulu. We particularly appreciated the fact that it was a short walk to the restaurant row on the waterfront which offered outdoor seating and a variety of cuisines.
The hotel staff were very good and very welcoming. The buffet breakfast was very delicious with everything you could expect and in a very spacious restaurant. Also breakfast buffet opened early enough if you needed to have breakfast early and go on with your day.
The dinner buffet on the Saturday evening was also awesome - with so much variety. The room was spacious and well maintained and was happy to have an inbuilt wall plug adapter and so we didn't have to use our adapters. We will definitely stay at this hotel for future visits as its location means you are close to everything including the airport being less than 20 minutes away.
Spotless room, spacious in size and good restaurant buffet. The hotel is abit older so the AC made noise all night, menu at pool bar could have western ie burger and chips. Location is great!
