I have been travelling for 3 years and this place was exceptional and probably the nicest place I’ve stayed. The rooms and whole place is beautifully decorated and the hotel sits amongst a spa. They also have a restaurant attached. The place is family run and you could really tell how much thought and effort everyone put into making the place what it is! Everything is perfect. Although it is located a bit further out the city don’t let it put you off because you feel like you are in paradise inside. I got a massage done, which included a sit down with the doctor to tailor the massage to my health and wellbeing :) Staff are amazing and really kind too. A big thank you to all the staff for making it an amazing stay and especially to Fara for all your help :)

We stayed for 4 nights to this lovely hotel. This accommodation is very clean, the staff is very polite and is totally bug free, which is a big thing for kota kinabalu. The room is very spacious, the bed is very comfy and the air conditioning is very strong and well maintained so no clogged noses the morning! Special thanks to Mr Sha ( probably i misspelt the name). This gentleman was so polite and, with his positive attitude, always was there to help if a minor problem arise.Also, the place is literally by feet 2 mins from city centre/ night market, 5 mins from the port and the maul and is surrounded with many 24/7 convenient stores. I saw that they organised tours, cruises etc but we didn't do any so i don't have any more details about that. Great value for money.
