Very professional and attentive services even before check-in. Instructions were clear and personalised service when we were unable to locate the lift lobby. Annabale came down to pick us personally. Staff constantly in touch to ensure our comfort through the stay. I applaud the exceptional services and location was great! Room and bathroom were well lit and very clean. Bed was very comfortable. Hotel was very generous with mineral water and soft drinks. Overall, I was impressed by the staff and the property. It was a good value place to stay.

After staying at a super basic guesthouse, it was great to spend 2 nights at this super comfy hotel. The staff was super friendly and responded quickly if we had any questions. Also, the bed and shower are big pro's as they offer great comfort. We really enjoyed our stay here!

A stunning hotel, the pool, gym and sauna are modern and spotless. Our room was upgraded and was spacious and maintained beautifully. We loved the waterfall shower and huge bed. We got room service and didn’t expect much but the vegan burger was hot and so tasty. Just the luxury we needed after climbing Mount Kinabalu!

The property was comfortable, spacious and clean. The neighborhood was quiet. Host was very responsive and friendly. It was very convenient as it was above a shopping mall with easy access to the mall. Taxi drop off and pick up was just outside the lobby door. Easy access to the pool, gym and gardens. Nice view of the garden. Kitchen facilities were ample.

The staff is phenomenal. From the moment you arrive to when you leave. Hani, one of the managers made sure we were completely taken care of. She went above and beyond. All the waiters and waitresses were professional and courteous. The nature guides were amazing at emphasizing the importance of conservation and preservation. I cannot say enough great things about the people that make a beautiful place almost magical. We have traveled extensively and this by far was the best resort we have ever stayed at.

    Excellent location within walking distance to eateries, malls and the jetty for island-hopping. Staff were exceptionally warm and hospitable - 5 stars to them! The pool was a great place to unwind on a humid afternoon. The view from the café was just perfect, overlooking the sea. Would definitely return the next time I'm in KK.
