Great service. I would definitely recommend booking a room in the Ocean Wing, with 45sqm rooms and a large outdoor tub on the terrace. The two pools are very nice and big, staff is very helpful. Foot and neck massages are available by the pool. The beach itself is not that great but it is very nice to take a walk on the 3km beach.

| "The hotel is set in a secluded part of the Kota Kinabula far away from everything - you have to get a taxi to the next town.
The shop in the hotel does sell snacks but you have to get all your food on the resort, but you can go into town and stock up at the local supermarket.
you can walk for miles on the beach and not see any other hotels and you definately won't be botered by people trying to sell you anything.
The hotel is lovely, the rooms spacious and nearly everyone is facing the sea. There is a golf club with an attached spa. There are activities organised everyday, one set for the kids and one for the adults. There are 4 restaurants, so you get a bit of variety though the menu's are not extensive.
The staff are very helpful and friendly. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would definately recommend this hotel and resort to our friends and family, in fact this resort was recommended to me." |

| "stayed there from 31st march to 4th april. stayed in one of the new ocean wings, i highly recommend it if budget permits as the ocean wing is not just a larger room, but rather a totally new concept, with its own check-in counter, concierge. The rooms were beautiful. breakfast was at the nice Coast restaurant. One could order as many main courses as one likes with a choice of beef medallion, rice congee to teriyaki cod fish. also, the service was superb with the staff greeting u by name everywhere. not to mention the drinks session on wednesdays evenings at the pool side with the GM is a nice touch. managed to find out where to get the good durians and best fish noodle stall from the staff during the get-together.
Negative points. One cannot overemphasise that the resort is far from everywhere else. Highly recommended to rent a car if u were to stay in rasa ria. though there is shuttle to and fro from KK town, the infrequentnature, once every three hours, makes things inconvenient. food again is not cheap in the hotel. Highly recommend people to go to "Ocean Seafood Village" in KK town. Amazing seafood! Not just the hoi polloi type like tiger prawns and lobsterS! we are talking about exotic seafood like stonefish (steamed of course) and coconut crabs etc. Better than Gayang or PortView seafood in my view.
enjoy your stay!" |

| "We stayed in the Ocean wing, it was excellent. Good size rooms and very clean. We are expats living in Malaysia and we found the food at nearly all the restaurants some of the best we have had in Malaysia.
Staff very friendly and helpful.A little more expensive than some other Malaysian resorts but of a very high sttandard." |
