4 Star Borneo Holidays

Ben Johari

One of the best Marriot Group hotel in Borneo. Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu was a truly enjoyable experience, combining comfort, hospitality, and a stunning seaside atmosphere. The hotel’s location is ideal — right in the heart of the city and just across from the Philippines Market and waterfront, offering beautiful sunset views over the South China Sea. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were professional, friendly, and always willing to help with local recommendations. The room was amazingly spacious, clean, and tastefully designed, with modern amenities and a comfortable bed that made for a relaxing stay. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches such as the complimentary bottled water and quality toiletries. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, featuring a wide variety of international and local dishes, all fresh and well-prepared. The pool area and fitness centre were well-maintained, offering a great place to unwind after a day exploring the city or nearby islands. Overall, Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu provided a perfect balance of luxury and local charm. Whether for business or leisure, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sabah — it delivers excellent service, convenience, and memorable hospitality.

My first stay in Le Meridien and I was blown away by the physical features and the service. We stay there 3 nights in total over two legs Special mention to Reazy (hope I got her name right) who served me when we checked in and out on our first leg. She was professional and warm! She had some good recommendations on food and was lovely to interact with. Compliments to Malcolm who welcomed us back when we return for our third night stay. We were given a complimentary upgrade to a Sea view king room. We were so thankful as we could see then beautiful sea and sunset. The rooms were very spacious and posh looking. The breakfast was great and offered variety. The location is the best!! We would want to be back one day!

We had a fantastic stay at the Le Meridien KK. Its location opposite the waterfront is what we definitely wanted. Not only does the hotel offer great views of the city and waterfront but tremendous views of planes on their final approach to KK. A winner for us especially from the Club Lounge and rooftop bar. The rooms and facilities were great and the food for breakfast had everything you could want. Both western and Asian food was available and the staff looked after you really well. We were lucky to have a club room and had an amazing time in the Club lounge. The staff were professional, friendly and welcoming which made our stay even better. We would like to thank Nizar, Regina, Christiana, Angela, Laurian, Reazie and Malcolm for their hospitality and excellent customer service. To Rizan thank you for helping us when our flights were canceled and we had to reschedule for another day. Meeting you and Suresh your GM, was a pleasure. Please thank Nova at reception for sorting out our rescheduling. We celebrated a special birthday at Favola and had a wonderful dinner together. The food was great and the service felt like we were family. We recommend anyone having a special occasion to come celebrate at this restaurant. The staff here definitely made our stay memorable.

Stayed here for 3 nights on my first trip to Borneo and loved it! I booked a city-view king room but got upgraded to the top floor with a sea view. On Sept 1 (Malaysia’s Independence Day), I even watched the fireworks from my room—amazing! 🎆 The room was modern and simple but felt classy. The bathroom was super clean with strong shower pressure and smooth drainage. The hairdryer was a powerful Philips model right at the sink, which was a nice touch. I also tried the breakfast buffet for three days. The food variety was great, reflecting Malaysia’s multicultural flavors. Some service issues, though: staff sometimes rushed to clear plates while I was still eating, and a few looked a bit untidy with loose aprons or undone buttons. The noodle station staff seemed a little inexperienced—some guidance or supervision would make a big difference. Overall, a fantastic stay with thoughtful touches and delicious food. Highly recommend Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu for first-time visitors to Borneo!

We had a good stay, room interior is modern although the ceiling height specially along hallway is quite low that you can literally touch if your height is 5'8 and above. Room is clean as well and staffs are accommodating and friendly. Location is a bit subjective but as for me, I don't like the view as it is fronting the market place but all other seafood restaurants, bars, and other stuffs are just a walk away so it's a bit of compromise between good view and convenience.

This resort is 45 minutes drive from KK International Airport. The surrounding area and the pools are clean and well maintain. Is a good place to relax while enjoying the beautiful beach. Morning buffet breakfast is delicious. The Chinese Restaurant name Noble House providing a very delicious foods. The only down side is the maintenance of the room. I have requested to change my room for my 4 nights stay due to room has no hot water no TV channel and no safe box. The second room slightly a bit better but the pillows has a very strong sweaty smell. All the staffs are very attentive and polite. They provide free Shuttle Van to send and fetch guests from room to lobby. Overall it's still a recommended place to stay.

What a terrific 1N stay with my friend! We're so happy the team accommodated our birthday request—the simple deco was a lovely surprise. 🎂 The real treat was waking up to a seaview from the balcony—thank you for the surprise upgrade! 🌊 The buffet breakfast was excellent, too. Overall, a genuinely wonderful and memorable experience. We can't wait to come back!

I stayed at Nexus Resort in Kota Kinabalu for 3 days and it was the perfect place to relax in nature. The resort feels classic and elegant, set right in front of the beach, so you can enjoy both ocean and forest views at the same time. The staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was fairy good and dining options were nice. I especially loved the afternoon tea at the lobby café – it had a wide selection, a cozy atmosphere, and everything was look beautiful to enjoy. The swimming pool was spacious enough to use freely the highlight of my stay was definitely the sunset bar right by the sea. Watching the sunset while dining there was truly memorable and will stay with me for a long time.

The hotel was once top and popular resort - maintenance of the entry road must be done. Overall its an amazing big resort w beautiful beach. Room superb but resort too quiet, so i was a bit scared. Staff very hardworking. Peaceful ambiance.

The room was great, with a panoramic ocean view. However, the check-in system needs improvement. Expect long waits. The resort's beach and pool are ideal for families. Because it's a bit far from the city center, it might be a good option for those seeking a relaxing getaway or those who prefer a quieter atmosphere.
