Hotels With Spa in Sabah, Malaysia

On of the best hotel in KK! From front desk to housekeeping, it was such a great experience! Include your breakfast package if you decided to stay here! You won’t regret it! Spread of selection for you, noodles, rice, sushi, you name it! Definitely worth it! The scenery and view from the hotel room was breathtaking. You’re able to see Mt Kinabalu (if it’s not raining!). Sky is super bright by 5:45-6am, be sure to catch the sunrise ! Overall, no regret choosing this hotel for my 5D4N trip! 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻

Checked in at the hotel at around 9.30pm. I noticed the air conditiong was kinda hot. But i thought to myself, I’ll give it some time run first. Maybe it’ll get better soon. Then an hour later, it was still hot, so i called operator, and she said she will send someone to our room. Waited about 30 minutes or more, still nobody came. I called the second time, and she said she’ll get someone to our room again. And that’s it, nobody came to our room, to help us with the air conditioning. And we were to tired to wait already. So My 8 month old baby sleept sweating that night and i had to fan him with the note book that they put beside the bed. Upon checkout, I complained to the receptionist and the manager about the incident, and they checked on their system that the issue had been resolved. Which was abvioustly a lie. So the manager said he will investigate the matter and he promised something to me. So i hope he keep his words. I’m a regular here, so i know there was something wrong with the air conditioning. I know the quality of the hotel. So let’s see wether the manager is serious about his words.

Good location - We stayed here only for 1 night before catching a morning flight after a trip to Manukan Island. It was about 15 mins from the airport and 6 mins from Sutera Harbour. We were able to check in early at about 1pm. It was a great location with the market and food stalls just in front of the hotel. There was also the night market just beside the hotel. Club lounge - We enjoyed our time at the club lobby with unlimited alcoholic drinks from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. The service staff were very patient, welcoming, and attentive. Room - we had the king room with City view. The room was spacious and clean. While it was stated city view, we were able to have a view of the harbour and Mt Kinabalu at the far distance.

Not as good as my expectations of 5 stars of shangri la hotel, but still in great value and services consider the price is much cheaper. I came with my family including 2 kids at 6 and 8, they love the game area and swimming pools with water slides. Because of 2 nights stay in the wet seasons in September. especially after 5pm, a tropical rainfall so that I didn't get any chance to see sunset in the beaches. The beaches are not really good condition of sand quality. I enjoyed the morning hiking trip to the nearby hills and also the walk in the beach. Many wildlife and calm of the days.

I stayed at Pan Borneo Hotel and overall had a great experience. The room is big, clean and comfortable. I booked the city view & mountain view room type, and it was worth it—early in the morning you can catch a beautiful sunrise right from the window. The location is also very convenient. Surrounding the hotel, there are many shop lots, and right beside it is One Place Mall, which is perfect for shopping or grabbing a bite. If you’re taking an early flight, this hotel is a good choice as it’s only about 5–10 minutes from the airport

One night stay at Suite Check-in took about 40 minutes, including queuing and waiting. My booking included club benefits, which meant access to the Magellan Club, but I wasn’t directed there. Instead, we were told to wait “five minutes” at the lounge for the front desk to double-check if the room was ready. The wait ended up being much longer, and we eventually had to return to the counter ourselves to ask if the room was available. The suite itself was acceptable in terms of cleanliness, but there were some minor maintenance issues: the fan remote in the living area didn’t work, and the main room remote was also faulty. The overall facilities were good, and the staff were friendly. Room service was impressively quick, especially when I requested extra bottled water, which was delivered promptly. Overall: A decent stay with some clear highlights such as the Magellan Club access, but better communication on benefits, smoother check-in, and room maintenance would make the experience much more enjoyable.

The hotel is only 5 minutes from the city centre and easily accessible using grab mostly. The room is spacious and comfortable. The breakfast is good and got many choices such as plain/chicken porridge, breads, soup and salads. But better go down early as there is so many visitors.

I recently stayed at Nexus Resort & Spa Karambunai, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The cleanliness of the rooms and common areas was well-maintained, making our stay comfortable and relaxing. The location, however, is quite isolated, as the resort is located in Karambunai Peninsula, about 30–40 minutes from Kota Kinabalu city. It’s perfect if you want a peaceful escape by the beach, but not so convenient if you’re looking to explore the city or find nearby restaurants—options outside the resort are very limited and quite far. The service was excellent, with very friendly and helpful staff who always greeted us warmly and tried their best to accommodate our requests. However, I noticed that the resort has become quite crowded lately, likely due to the recovery period after COVID-19 when businesses are starting to pick up again. Some areas are still under renovation, and it was clear they are in the midst of improving their facilities. The amenities were good, with a beautiful beach, swimming pools, spa services, and recreational activities that kept us entertained throughout our stay. Overall, Nexus Karambunai is a lovely place for a peaceful beach vacation, but be prepared for the distance from town and the current renovation works. Hopefully, once the recovery process is complete, the resort will be even better.

A Lovely clean Airbnb for sure! The staff were so kind and provided great service and communication. The location was really good as it was in the city as well as near the beach. Had lots of facilities to use. Would definitely book again. Great value for money :)
