Lovely property! Really comfortable beds and great amenities in the room. The decor is lovely. Nice big bath tub and shower. Two pools, a gym and a massive open space with benches and hammocks to enjoy. Very clean. Love the fridge which has free soft drinks and water for guests. Everything you need is available. The staff are really friendly and helpful and are always available by WhatsApp. Perfect location too in the Imago mall where there are tons of nice restaurants and lots of shops. Quiet and peaceful once inside. I’ve stayed in many hotels in Kota Kinabalu and this is by far the best!

The room we had was King bed with city view. My daughter loved the room very much. Unfortunately, she was taken ill the night we arrived. We had to ask for help and extra items from reception eg information of getting medical assistance if necessary, asking for extra bottles of drinking water etc. Staff were very quick and obliging. As for the food, we had room service because of my daughter being unwell. She truly loved your kids fish and chips which she said was the best she had ever tasted! We ordered the fish and chips twice within 24 hours. We'd like to commend all staff who were so helpful and very courteous. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    All the staff were kind, efficient and attentive. The room was as promised, large, clean, good air con, comfortable beds and, most importantly, a wonderful sea view. Plentiful daily fresh drinking water was provided in washable, refillable glass bottles, no plastic waste which is excellent. The soundproofing was good so the room was quiet. The swimming pool was a great bonus, we could swim and relax around the pool and just enjoy our luxury break after our Sabah jungle tour. Excellent all round.

    The breakfast selection was excellent. The spa (had a body massage) was amazing. The crew at Sampan bar (I think his name is Dylan) gave excellent service while we were having drinks there.

    We had a wonderful time over Christmas even though it was busy the staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and most comfortable. We enjoyed both the buffet breakfast/meals as well a as the alacarte menu, poolside meals and room service. The spa was professional, hygienic and thoroughly relaxing. Having the children's pool and water play separate from the adult pool is a bonus
