Hotels With Spa in Sabah, Malaysia

The location is good. But is still a distance to Imago mall. The hotel do provide one-way transport service to Imago mall or Suria mall. The room size is big and do have table and chair suitable for business traveller. The receptionist service is good and friendly. They willing to change a damage hair-dryer for us although it is taking a long time to get a good one. The facility a bit old but overall still ok.

Had a wonderful stay at Sheraton — definitely one of the more memorable hotel experiences I’ve had. I really appreciated the thoughtful anniversary setup: towel decorations, balloons, and a nicely prepared dessert plate. Small details like this show good service culture and make the stay feel personal rather than just transactional. Location is also a strong point — convenient access to the city area while still feeling calm inside the hotel. Overall ambience is quiet, cozy, and suitable for both couples and business travellers. Overall: great hospitality, comfortable room quality, and good attention to guest experience. I’d definitely come back again.

The biggest issue is that for a beachfront resort, its beach is practically nonexistent – though it doesn't really hinder the fun! I booked a sea-view room for three nights, expecting to step right out to the ocean. However, Magellan (hotel) seems to have a dock, so the 'beach' is all rocks. There's only about a 10-meter wide 'sandy' area, suitable for snorkeling. The underwater rocky reefs here make for pretty good snorkeling. The adjacent Pacific Sutera beach, which shares facilities, is a bit longer, but the waves are bigger there, so the snorkeling isn't as good as here. Both hotels share four pools, which is great for swimming, but it feels a bit odd to go to a beach resort and only swim in the pool. I didn't find any other major deal-breakers; overall, the experience was good. The service wasn't bad, and while the facilities aren't new, they're not run-down either. Breakfast was decent, with all the usual offerings. There are indeed a lot of Koreans here, even more than I encountered in Jeju Island previously. I guess this hotel is a social media hotspot in Korea!

The hotel service is great, and the facilities are well-maintained. The location is very convenient, with a market directly opposite offering snacks, seafood, and fruits. Next to the central market, there's also a seafood street food stall area at night.

Never expecting this such great location, Just walk within 10 min to Pasar Philipin,wet market,grocery and so on . Amenities well prepared, staff was so kind. I forgot her name. Check in late evening and she really helpful and full of greeting. And one more things, i LEFT MY WALLET here, And after arriving at the airport i noticed my wallet was lost or missing. Then i call the receptionist, THEY KEPT my wallet . 😭 All staff members are so kind! From cleaning services till the front desk ! KUDOS! I will come again!! THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU! I cant thank you enough.

The hotel is really nice. The sea-view room was excellent; falling asleep to the sound of the waves at night was wonderful. The service is great, and breakfast is good too. I highly recommend the freshly baked waffles with honey. You should definitely set aside more time to enjoy the hotel facilities.

easy booking & payment method. 2nd time booking at this hotel, strategic location with affordable price. Breakfast is provided for 2.

I was absolutely delighted with my stay at Shangri-La Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu! The service was incredibly thoughtful, and all the staff were so warm and welcoming, making for a truly wonderful experience. The hotel's environment is stunning; both the gardens and the sea views are incredibly picturesque. The spot for watching the sunset is absolutely unbeatable – you don't have to go far to witness a breathtaking evening glow. The breakfast spread was extensive, offering both Chinese and Western options, all delicious and fresh. What's most convenient is that you can book island hopping tours directly through the hotel, and the jetty is right next door, which saved so much hassle and time. The island scenery was also incredibly beautiful. Overall, I had a comfortable stay and a fantastic time. If you're coming to Kota Kinabalu for sunsets and a vacation, this is definitely the top choice – I wholeheartedly recommend it!

I was really worried after seeing the 3.9 rating and reviews before booking, but after arriving: what an amazing hotel! This view, in China, would easily cost ten times more at the beach, wouldn't it? A Grab taxi from the city center cost me 40 MYR cash. The hotel front desk doesn't have Chinese-speaking staff, but checking in was no problem. They gave us a newly renovated room on the first floor, and even from there, you could see the sea. We had booked a sea view room on the 5th floor. We tried out golf, which was only 200 MYR and included club rental. Dinner at the VIP building's Chinese restaurant cost around 600-700 MYR for 10 people, which I thought was pretty reasonable, and the food wasn't as bad as some reviews claimed. The view here is simply unbeatable. The only regret was not being able to surf because the waves were too big. We did try the SPA, but only the one-hour option was available for 128 MYR. You need to book in advance, and there's no Chinese service.

The cleanliness of the room and bathroom was satisfactory. The location is strategic, close to Sandakan airport, with a laundry, market, and restaurants conveniently located around the hotel. There were only three minor drawbacks: Firstly, if you book a room with a bathtub, showering is difficult. (See the second picture.) You have to step into the tub to turn on the water, and the cold tap only dispensed hot water, so you had no choice but to endure hot showers. Secondly, only one room key card was issued. If you're not staying solo and someone leaves the room, they'll have to knock to get back in. Lastly, the TV was non-functional as it had no channels and couldn't connect to the Wi-Fi. The TV itself looked like an outdated model.
