The Aru Hotel, located in Tanjung Aru, is conveniently situated near Tanjung Aru Beach and Kota Kinabalu International Airport. However, the soundproofing is not great, and you might occasionally hear the sound of flight engines from your room. The amenities are comprehensive, featuring a spacious room, kitchen area, bar table, TV with Netflix, hairdryer, and safe. The washroom is well-maintained, and the shower gel smells good. Complimentary parking is also available. However, there is no restaurant on-site. The breakfast provided is very simple and delivered to your room.

Front desk service is best, friendly with most smiling face, always greeting and friendly chat to customer, bedding matters a bit soft and some spring is not well in condition, but ovell room amenities is good. However, I really wondered why a 5 stars Hotel the restaurant all size plate, bowl, even cups are so so oily, sticky, food mark, stains on almost all pieces of them, I keep on looking for more clean one but sad to said is no one is clean, really very sticky and oily, hope the restaurant can look serious on this matter, I can said I never seen such dirty plate, even I go to 2 or 3 star hotel, the plate is more clean then Le Meridien, but food and beverage is good, I love the service can custome order our favourite fresh fruit juice and coffee

I recently stayed at the Hyatt, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel had a welcoming atmosphere, with friendly staff who were always ready to assist with any request. The check-in process was smooth, and I was quickly settled into a spacious, well-appointed room. The room was immaculate, with modern amenities, a very comfortable bed, and beautiful hills views. The housekeeping team did a fantastic job keeping everything tidy, and the attention to detail was impressive. The bathroom was stocked with high-quality toiletries, and the shower was refreshing with great water pressure. I also had the pleasure of dining at the hotelā€™s restaurant. The food was delicious, with a variety of options that catered to different tastes. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the ambiance was relaxing. There also gym & swimming pool located at level 23.

The location was great and the staff super friendly. A part of the beach was reserved for hotel guests and was not overcrowded. The team was trying its best to pick up all plastic in the morning from the beach but unfortunately during the day more was coming. People should take more care themselves. You can go snorkeling at the beach but to arrive the corals you need to wait for the tide and have to be a good swimmer. Then itā€™s beautiful out there. The breakfast was great and a good combination between buffet and menu. Overall we can recommend it for 2 nights. Donā€™t forget your mosquito repellent and bites relief. We saw several Gerrys;) - beautiful creatures.

I didn't like any normal hotels, and I accidentally saw this Minsu after searching for a long time on Ctrip. I took the risk to book it after seeing the pictures were all real photos. As soon as I submitted the order and paid, I received an email and added the housekeeper at the same time. This addition was amazing! Various check-in details and guides came to me. The housekeeper was so enthusiastic and attentive! He provided us with many excellent options, and he was not selling! We really went out on a whim this time, without making any guides. We could ask him directly at any time. He was really enthusiastic and helped us a lot! Minsu can be said to be very clean. My sister and I both have mild mysophobia. We really can't find fault with any details. The things prepared in Minsu are also very comprehensive. It is even equipped with a massage chair, which is very friendly to special forces like us! I strongly recommend everyone to stay, and the experience is 100 points!

Within the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park off the coast of Kota Kinabalu in Borneo, Gaya Island Resort Kota Kinabalu rests along the coast of Malohom Bay, a natural sanctuary nestled in the hillside of an ancient rainforest with a stunning outline of Mount Kinabalu on the horizon. The resort's architecture respects Sabahan elements; its 120 villas and two-bedroom suite use local materials and blend harmoniously with the natural environment while villa interiors are designed with a contemporary elegance.Yet this is more than just a beautiful beachfront resort in stunning surroundings; with its PURE activities, this is a place for the curious to actively engage or peacefully absorb all Borneo has to offer.

Discoveries, authentic experiences and a sense of intimacy with the natural world all prevail across the land and seascape of this resort, with its youthful vibe and sun-dappled moments, offering travelers and families an escape that is distinctively Borneo. Gaya Island Resort is committed to ecologically-sustainable practices to minimize the carbon footprint within its environment. Therefore, the resort is a walking resort and only minimal motorized vehicles are used for operational purposes.

The resort is beautifully located. You get there only by the hotels boat service that charges around 30ā‚¬ per person for every round trip (5-10min one way). That boat only departs/arrives every 2 hours. There is a beautiful reef in front of the hotel however the waters in front of the hotel as well as at the private beach are full of plastics and Iā€™ve never seen anyone collecting some. This place could be much more beautiful without that. Food was very basic at a rather high price. If you compare it to KK restaurants the prices are ridiculous. But because of the boat serviceā€™s price you donā€™t really have the choice to go to the city to get good and reliable food. All staff were really nice eventhough not always well trained. Overall we had an average stay. Nothing extraordinarily positive but not too bad on the other hand. Therefore the prices for everything from accommodation to food to activities (almost everything charges extra) has been way too high in our opinion.

First & foremost, biggest compliments to the housekeeping team! We arrived in our villa around 2pm, went out around 4, and only returned at night after dinner to find: a mosquito coiled lit outside our door, bed has been made, coffee cups washed, rubbish bin cleared, how thoughtful! The sight of the sea from the resort was superb, enhanced by the good weather. The welcome drink of calamansi juice with plum, aka Kitchai Ping as itā€™s known locally, was as good as my momā€™s. We initially intended to have the weekend hi-tea, but apparently it had to be pre-booked at least a day before. Thanks to that we got to enjoy happy hour instead, before having the weekend BBQ dinner that we managed to book a slot upon arrival. Bartender gave us extra kicks in our cocktails, thank you for taking our relaxation up a notch! However we seemed to be unlucky with food serving. We booked for dinner at 6 but our happy hour session somehow made some miscommunications and delay. Food was good and a plenty, though we did notice satays were missing, but we were well fed. Breakfast order was also somewhat mixed up, kitchen must be overwhelmed with many guests, but we got what we wanted in the end. Overall we are happy with our stay. We didnā€™t manage to explore the trails, perhaps we may return for a day trip in the future, and have that weekend hi-tea we missed.
