Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu

Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu

10/10 Excellent
"A very well appointed hotel to relax and explore Sabah, Borneo. The staff could not be more personable and attentive, which transformed our experience and made it very special for our break. The breakfast is plentiful and well arrayed, covering Asian and Western Cuisine. The pool side lunch is reasonable in offering, and while we did not opt for dinner, the choice of restaurants were ample for a 4 night stay. The garden wing room was well sized for a family, and the housekeeping staff have thought of all the needs for modern travel. The location is about a 45 minute drive from the airport and the main city, which did not affect our needs but some might find a bit remote. The adjoining rasa ria reserve was quite special and the choice of activities on offer is fantastic. The daytime entertainment at the poolside is really good. With fond memories, we would definitely comeback."

10/10 Excellent
"The Borneo Beach Villa is an incredible value! The South China Sea is beautiful, clear and clean!! The villa is as pictured though with some wear and tear - though still lovely and spacious. We stayed in a unit with its own pool that was on the beach.The staff was very responsive. I would recommend renting a car if you are not too intimidated by driving on the left."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kota Belud?
The best area to stay in Kota Belud is generally on the outskirts of the main town, particularly in areas offering direct access to nature or cultural experiences.For travellers seeking a unique cultural experience, areas near the Kadazan-Dusun villages or along the Tempasuk River are ideal. These locations provide opportunities to stay in traditional guesthouses and experience local life, often including activities like buffalo racing or visiting the local tamu (open-air market). It's a chance to connect with the local community and learn about their heritage.Couples looking for a peaceful retreat with natural beauty often prefer accommodations closer to the coastline or located within the rural landscapes surrounding the town. These spots offer quiet surroundings, often with views of Mount Kinabalu or the South China Sea.
