Rabiatul Adawiyah
Had a very pleasant stay here today. All staff were friendly and helpful. Special thanks to the senior parking assistant/bellboy for the warm welcome and buggy service to our room. Also thanks to staff handling the buggy service for being very helpful and polite, even when we returned around 12am from nearby shops. During breakfast, the lady staff was very friendly and always smiling. The manager in charge on was also very welcoming and kind. Checkout was fast and smooth as well. Overall, very happy with the stay and definitely will come again.

This was my first time travelling to Sabah, and staying at Shangri-La Tanjung Aru made the entire trip unforgettable. The moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt calm, welcoming, and beautifully maintained. The resort has a stunning beachfront view, especially during sunset, and the overall environment feels peaceful and luxurious at the same time. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive. Every interaction, from check in to dining to simple requests, was handled with genuine hospitality. They made me feel truly cared for throughout the stay. The rooms were comfortable and clean, with views that made waking up every morning feel special. The facilities were also impressive. The pool, the private beach area, and the dining options all added to the experience. Everything felt thoughtfully designed to give guests a relaxing and memorable holiday. This stay has set a new standard for me. It turned my first trip to Sabah into something truly meaningful, and I would absolutely return again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a beautiful and unforgettable getaway.

Our entire stay was very satisfying. Check-in and check-out were efficient, and the room was spacious and clean, with high-quality, minimalist amenities and a balcony facing the sea. Although there was construction going on right in front, they upgraded our room as an apology—so no complaints there. Breakfast was served as a buffet at a beachfront restaurant called Ta-Tu, offering a well-balanced mix of local dishes and classic Western options. I especially liked the cheerful barista at the entrance serving local coffee—it was a nice touch. There’s also an on-site marina where you can enjoy activities like jet skiing and paragliding, which made the stay even more fun.

A beautiful seaside resort with one of the most breathtaking sunset views in Kota Kinabalu. The atmosphere in the evening is truly special — live music starts around sunset, creating a relaxed, almost magical mood while you watch the sun disappear into the horizon. The Sunset Bar is definitely a highlight and worth visiting even if you are not staying at the hotel. The property offers several pools, so it never feels overcrowded, and you can always find a quieter corner to relax. Perfect for both families and couples. The only downside during our visit was that the main lobby is currently under maintenance. Unfortunately, this made the entrance feel less welcoming and not quite aligned with the luxury experience the resort usually represents. And yes the poll also should be fixed . But they told me they are going renovating all. Main lobby ready at July. Overall, despite the temporary inconvenience, the stunning location, great facilities, and unforgettable sunsets make this resort a place I would gladly return to.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A perfect family-friendly resort overlooking the South China Sea Shangri-La Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu is an excellent choice for families seeking comfort and quality. The resort is truly family-oriented, offering well-designed family rooms and complimentary toiletries for children, which were thoughtful touches. The spacious swimming pool is ideal for both kids and adults, allowing everyone to relax and enjoy. The breakfast buffet was excellent, featuring a wide selection of ASEAN and Western dishes to suit all tastes. One of the most memorable highlights was the breathtaking sunset over the South China Sea, creating a calm and beautiful atmosphere. Overall, a wonderful destination for a relaxing and memorable family getaway.
