"The place looks like it’s been refurbished and it’s terrific. Sea view room(11) is great, close to pool, restaurant and beach (though not very swim able due to rocks that we saw on low tide.) Pool is terrific. Service great a about a half hour grab ride into KK. Highly recommend for a laid back stay. We extended our original 2 day stay to 6. "
"We were a group of nature lovers who were using this as a three night stay to get used to the temperature and time change upon arrival in Borneo. Loved the grounds and snorkeling right from the beach. Fantastic nature center staffed by several biologists. The food options were a bit pricey but we were expecting that. The grounds were very birdy and we found two Borean Pit Vipers. The mangrove tour was fantastic. Room is very good quality for the price."
"This is a modern city type hotel beautifully decorated, with easy access to nearby restaurants, ideal for a short stay visiting Kotakinabalu .Ms Linda, front desk manager and her team at the reception were outstanding. This greatly professional staff , made our stay a memorable one. Will be back"
"Very near to airport and parking provided. Owner very responsive and give clear instructions for check in. Room clean and neat. Around got many restaurants. Worth the price for stay!😊"
"The room was not as expected. I read great reviews but sadly, we were unlucky. The room was so dusty, not clean. The deluxe king seems like a deluxe queen. Our room electricty keeps tripping. For a deluxe king, the room is small, i think we were given the wrong room coz we requested differently. The only great thing about it is it is walking distance to Imago. "
"Hotel is new but room is very small. I booked and paid the room type i want based on the pics shown on expedia, but they assigned me to different room and claim that its a new design room. I feel being downgraded because the so called new design room was much more basic than what we see on website. kind of misleading! "
"We arrived at nearly 10pm and didnt have the self check-in details so we had to send a text to receive the door codes. One of the rooms they said was ours already had people sleeping inside! Fortunately they gave us another room and we found them simple but comfortable. The shower was excellent!"
"The staff were extremely helpful and attentive!. They even have powerbanks and charging cables in e room. It's also near to the airport so if you do not want to hear aeroplanes then may nt work for you. "

"The only recommendation would be for the Japanese restaurant to use less garlic when making the fried rice.
The breakfast buffet and dinner buffet offered a large variety of choices-fresh and delicious.
We recommend a stay in an ocean view suite for couples who plan to visit. It offered an outdoor soak tub to allow one to watch the sun set into the sea.
Little things made the differences at the Shangri-La Rasa Ria:
• cold face towel when sitting by the pool
• family friendly pools and activities for those travelling with little munchkins
• accessibility friendly
• located right on the sandy beach
• multiple pillow options - AMAZING!
• laundry service at an amazing price
• a thank-you note from the room attendants sealed the deal on the day of check-out
Service was excellent from the moment we arrived to the sad moment when we had to leave.
Looking forward to another stay soon!!!"
"Spacious clean rooms. Friendly staff. Incredible food. Excellent location- walking distance to the food markets, Sunday markets, the ferry port and malls. Special mention again to all staff there- extremely friendly and helpful. We had a great stay, thank you!"
"The Shangti-La is just a step up from other hotels. Yes, it's big and busy but the staff go out of their way to really spoil you. I'm vegan and they bent over backwards to ensure I had a great breakfast, sent soy milk to my room tweaked dishes so I ate well. And the location - oh my. We stayed in a garden room and could walk straight out looking at the sea. Room had a shower and a bath, was well stocked. Water in the fridge every day. Their Spa was great too. I can't think of anything bad about the place. We just didn't want to leave. "
