Positive Reviews

Popular beachside location

Reviewers loved being just steps from this suburban property’s private beach of white sand in the northern outskirts of Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. Set amid a manicured paradise of tropical landscaped grounds and palm trees, this resort complex boasting an uncrowded beach appealed strongly to guests looking to get away from it all. Drivers loved the free parking and said it was fairly simple to access downtown, local attractions, shopping malls, golf courses and beauty spots plus ferry terminals and the airport.

Friendly personnel

Many travellers mentioned that the customer care provided by professional, obliging and pleasant personnel left a good impression. Diners welcomed the availability of breakfast in the on-site café.

Upbeat about spacious sea view apartments

These modern apartments showcasing tasteful décor were reportedly spacious, clean and well kitted out for self-catering with fully-equipped kitchens and kitchenware. It also appealed to guests that they could admire stunning sunsets over the sea from every unit. Visitors frequently sang the praises of the well-maintained and inviting outdoor swimming pool area and gardens.

Negative Reviews

Too isolated for some

Although numerous reviewers loved the seclusion and tranquillity of this property’s location, some critics claimed it was tough to access surrounding restaurants and shops without a car. However, there was a local area shuttle service, enabling travellers to reach shopping malls and downtown Kota Kinabalu more easily.

Free Wi-Fi grumbles

The free Wi-Fi network frustrated some travellers, who claimed it occasionally presented them with a spotty signal plus limited bandwidth and a convoluted login procedure.

Shortcomings in some apartments

Occasional interruptions to the electricity and hot water supplies disappointed guests in some apartments, as did blown light bulbs, tired-looking furniture, cloudy wading pool water and malfunctioning fridges. Cleanliness issues also annoyed some reviewers. These included stained bedding and insufficient pest control measures.
