I visited the hotel with my parents, my wife and my daughter. We stayed for four nights, checking in on 3rd May and checked out on the 7th. This is actually my second time visiting this hotel, the first time being 30 years ago, again with my parents. I had great memories as a kid so I was looking forward to this trip. The First night was great, had dinner at Coco Joe's and rested after a long trip. The Second day was fantastic, breakfast and dinner and Cafe Tutu, met a lovely dining lady named Rohana. During the day, we enjoyed the great activities of the Leisure Center. Friendly staff from there made the experience children friendly. And the icing of the dessert - the sunset parade, Jamie loves it. Housekeeping did a surprise heartwarming job, covering the lion doll of my daughter with a little towel on the pillow, very cute and thoughtful move. The Third Day we went out to town so didn't stay much time in the hotel. The Fourth Day, was quite disappointing to be honest. Housekeeping did not arrive in the morning when we were out playing at the pool. I understand as there are many rooms to take care of. We went back to the room to rest between 2-4pm, switch on the ”Do not disturb” button, and somehow housekeeping team arrived so they put a card to say they could not clean as we put up the do not disturb button. Fair enough, but again, there was five hours in the morning which they could clean the room. Leaving the room again at 4pm for activities, I called service center for housekeeping, switched off the ”Do not disturb” button and went out. We returned at 7:45pm, still there was no housekeeping. Frustrated, I called the service center again requesting for housekeeping, they replied they will check and follow up with housekeeping. Half an hour later, still no one turned up. Extremely irritated, I called service center for housekeeping again. This time, housekeeping finally arrived but our whole family were waiting for clean towels to have shower. VERY disappointing with the effecitivness of housekeeping and service center on this incident. On that very same day, I discovered a big crockcroach in the toilet, so I do have a big quetion mark on the housekeeping of this hotel. The day was worsen when we had dinner at Coco Joe's, where we wait for nearly an hour (from 6pm to 6:53pm) before we get all our food served. I did complain it to the manager when he came by, which he did apologise and waived our dining fee. Despite my disgrunt towards the long waiting time of the dishes, I would like to give credit on the manager (I think his name is Mr Kan?) in terms of how he managed the complaint. Overall, the experience is mixed. With friendly staff at leisure center + Cafe Tutu, good food but unreasonably long waiting time at Coco Joe's, and disappointing housekeeping after the heartwarming performance on the second day. The hardware of the hotel is great (view, pool design, restaurant seating) but our experience was mainly affected by the staff. On this ocassions, I would like to give commendation to the following staff: Rohana, Majid (both from Cafe Tutu), all staff from Leisure Centre (especially the two ladies and two gentleman hosting water polo and volleyball respectively), and Kan from Coco Joe's on complaint management. Please keep up on the good work you already have, and work hard on things that requires improvement:)

Nice hotel near the beach and airport. The room has great space and nice view to the sea and airport. Auto parking available and in a quiet location but convenient to go to beach and town. The hotel rooftop pool and deck has a nice to the sea. You can watch the landing and takeoff of the planes too. The sound from the plane is bearable but the sound insulation can be better especially from the walkway when people walking, chatting and banging door. The amenities and cleanliness can be improved. Used bathrobes was left in the cabinet and new bathrobe was not provided. The housekeeping staff clearly omitted on this.

This hotel used to be a very nice hotel , but unfortunately not anymore, everything looks so old, the bed, pillows, blanket , duvet covers, closet, everything’s looks so old. It’s not well maintained. The hotel management need to do something about this.

It was ok, the location is not close to city so it’s hard to get food and they don’t have a store close by. overall it’s ok if you’re just looking for a stay.

Overall, my stay at Megah D'Aru was enjoyable, offering good value for the price. It’s a great option for travelers looking for a comfortable stay with easy access to both the airport and the beach. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu who is looking for a simple yet satisfying experience.

The hotel is located in a small town in Kota Kinabalu. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the beach to watch the sunset. There are many delicious foods around. The boss is very nice and can speak Chinese. He personally drove us to the beach, to eat, and to the pier for island hopping. He waited for us for an hour to buy tickets at the pier. He saw us eating durian under the hotel and ordered mosquito coils. He introduced us how to play. He was very friendly to Chinese people. The drinks we got from the hotel were free and we could drink as much as we wanted. I recommend everyone to stay at this hotel. Full marks!

The room was spacious. Beds comfortable. The swimming pool big and great. Hot water worked fine. Indications to reach the place clear and simple. 10/10 would recommend, and much likely would go again if I travel back to KK

It's very close to the airport, with complete facilities and restaurants and convenience stores. It's about 15-20 minutes' walk from the beach. Although the room is a bit small, it's very affordable for the price.
