This resort is clearly the best in KK and entitled to its 5-star claim - it is well located, has lovely gardens/green spaces, attentive staff, quality fittings, good food, excellent pool and our room, while not over-large, was well appointed. There was a problem with our booking in that we were not expected until the following day, but the staff... More

Second, made a reservation for the shuttle to Rasa Ria resort early in the morning, but when the time comes for boarding the shuttle bus, the driver said I did not have a reservation. The... More

We spent a week at the resort in mid January and I have to say overall it was a very pleasant stay, the staff were very attentive, the food top class and plenty of it with a very good selection in the buffet restaurant and found the prices very reasonable as we're the drinks. The pool is amazing and there... More

My wife & I stayed at the Tanjung Shangri-La for 11 nights in October 2011. We stayed there on the recommendation of our Travel Agent after considering the Shangri-La Rasa Ria, we're pleased we took her advice as the Rasa Ria was lovely (We went there to see the oranguatans) but to far out. We stayed in the Tanjung Wing... More

Great place to kick back and watch the kids have a great time. My husband and I stayed here with our two kids, aged 2.5 and 4 months for 6 days and 5 nights. Our 2.5 year old had a blast on the waterslides, water wars (water balloons launched on catapaults) and at 'Cool Zone' which is the kids play... More

At check-in we had a bit of trouble, but from then on everything was amazing! The first day we were there we were amazed by the buffet breakfast... More

We stayed in a Kinabalu sea view room (January 2012) and found it very comfortable although screaming toddler and mother for some hours in next room one night made sleep very difficult. Food is plentiful, varied and good quality at all the restaurants. In particular the childrens water playground was extensive, well supervised and as a grandfather I just wished... More

We stayed here for 5 nights as a last stop on a busy tour of Kuala Lumpur, Sarawak & Sabah. We arrived at about 9:30am and our allocated room in the Kinabalu Wing wasn't ready. They asked us to wait, which was ok with us. It wasn't long before someone came to us and asked if we would consider an... More
