8/10 Very good

The stuffs were really nice and made our days. Very kids friendly and has nice activities for kids. Spa was excellent! I like the hotel is very care about the environment and no single use plastic used for water bottle, straw etc. Optional tour like boat trip, renting gears were quite expensive. Wish they have a free transportation between airport and hotel. Toilet in sharing places are dirty sometimes. Probably it’s better to have more staffs for cleaning. Room was clean and comfortable temperature. The bed was very nice too. Overall I recommend this hotel and want to come back again.

The Shangri-La was a beautiful well kept resort which was so family friendly. Their attentiveness to those with families was extraordinary. It made our stay so comfortable and pleasant. We would definitely recommend the Shangri-La to our family and friends.

The best in kota kinabalu city

Best for holiday trip. hotel facilitate with great equipment/ facilities , food options and scenery. Only the bar menu next to the pool i think its way too much over price and not worth it. The orher restaurant are reasonable.
