Popular Hotel Great for Families & Kids
Convenient location to many places within the city. Hotel has several restaurants, games and activities, pools but beach was a disappointment, very small like a man-made pool. Seems like a popular hotel with many corporate and private events happening almost everyday. Great for families with children, not for adults who are looking for a quiet getaway. Housekeeping needs improvement though, have to remind them on some days to clean the room.

By far the best in Kota Kinabalu
Wonderful hotel with great staff and an unbeatable location only 10 minutes from the airport. Facilities are excellent, as is the service from everyone who works there. Highly recommended for a weekend getaway
