Our visit to the Shangrila was a special treat by hubby for a special birthday treat. This was our second attempt at booking a room as the first time it was fully booked. We were not disappointed. Upon arriving at the hotel we were shown to our suite with a view that brought forth a remark – “I can stay... More

Wanted a romantic week-end with my partner & the Shangri-La use to have nice rooms so got a room there for a week-end. Walked miles to get to our room, down a really grotty old corridor that looked like no-one has wiped down or hoovered in quite a while. I am not a neat freak can understand the tropics, mold... More

Got a great room rate thanks to trip advisor... Room was lovely, clean and spacious, especially for a week long work trip. Service was attentive and thorough. Room service meals were nice but a little expensive when you add on the $10 room service fee. The only down side was the constant interruption by housekeeping at around 3-4pm every day,... More
