"Our state was very nice. No problems. Just to be aware that this is not the touristy part of town. With no offense meant, we were the only white couple. We saw the whole time in this area. Everyone was smiling and friendly. No problem whatsoever with the locals they were very welcoming!"

"The complimentary airport shuttle (one-way only) was very useful along with the breakfast buffet. Definitely worth staying if you do not want to go island hopping or to the city centre"

"We had an amazing time at Gaya Island Resort. It is a luxury resort with great food and drinks, comfortable rooms, and incredible views/proximity to the ocean. Worth noting is that this is in a nature reserve, surrounded by jungle and ocean, and the resort embraces and supports this, which means coexisting with wildlife. You can walk out from the resort beach to their own protected reef and swim with dozens of species of beautiful fish (equipment is available for free). We didn’t see any snakes,...

"Lovely hotel with lovely staff, there's an Orange store (very similar to 7 11) , an Indian restaurant and a cafe all in the vicinity.
The only negative is the location as you'll have to take a Grab to travel around Kota Kinabalu."

Spectacular island resort. Room / villa was amazing with the most wonderful shampoo / conditioner etc. Only two slight negatives - when i arrived my room was not ready and for 2 hours i sat in the heat without access to my luggage to get my swimmers for a refreshing dip in the pool. And the other was the food - after having been in KK experiencing the street food and my other hotel's food, the resort food was a little ordinary, particularly given the cost of in-resort food. it was bountiful but...

The room was really spacious and modern with a comfy bed. The bathroom was nice but not very well designed - u had to be standing under the shower to reach the taps to turn it on which meant u got soaked if you tried turning it on before getting undressed, and a glass wall separates the shower from the bedroom so for some privacy there is a blind which has mould stains from being in the shower. Other than that it was really nice. Breakfast was great, so much variety and it all tasted good. The...

Stayed at Bunga Raya for 2 nights with a friend. We had a deluxe villa which was much larger than expected. We had requested twin beds on booking and unfortunately arrived to 1 large bed, however this was quickly taken care of when discussed with hotel staff. The resort is built into the mountains in a very unobtrusive way and is much larger than it looks. There's a lovely pool but it is situated on a beautiful beach which was pristine during our visit.

Our stay was specifically to accompany our mom for hospital surgery, which is just a 3-minute walk from the hotel. The room was spacious and spotless. Many thoughtful amenities were provided, including good Wi-Fi and a large TV, and we especially loved the capsule coffee machine. The service was excellent, with friendly and very helpful staff. This was our second stay at this hotel, and everything was perfect.

AC residence isn't what you expect from your normal hotel stay. There is no hotel lobby, there is no reception as it's located on the third floor of shophouses. However don't let it fool you! We arrived after midnight due to flight delays, yet when we messaged the property, we were immediately welcomed at the door. Once inside, we were shown to our room which was pleasantly quite spacious! It was simple but yet so cosy. The room was also really clean and tidy.

The communication was prompt, accurate, and polite full. Staff assisted by carrying out luggage upstairs, and is happy and polite. The massage chair was an amazing addition to our stay. In the heart of all shops. Will definitely book with them again.

This was our 2nd stay and it didn’t disappoint. Both times we have stayed 1 night as a stop over between flights.
The service is excellent, friendly, helpful and welcoming. You get the feeling nothing would be too much trouble. We were also given a surprise upgrade this trip, which was very welcome for our family of 3.

The best area to stay in Telipok is generally around the main commercial centre along Jalan Tuaran Bypass.
This area is the most developed part of Telipok, offering the most convenience for visitors. It's characterised by a mix of modern shop lots, local eateries, and some larger retail outlets. You'll find most of the local amenities, including banks and supermarkets, concentrated along this main road and its immediate side streets. This central location makes it a practical base for exploring the wider Telipok area.
For business travellers, staying near Jalan Tuaran Bypass is ideal due to its direct access to the main thoroughfare connecting Telipok to Kota Kinabalu and other industrial zones. Many of the newer hotels and serviced apartments with facilities like meeting rooms and high-speed internet are located here, providing easy access to local businesses and a comfortable stay after a day of work.
Couples looking for a convenient and comfortable stay will also appreciate this central area. It provides easy access to local dining options and shops, and its proximity to the main road simplifies day trips to nearby attractions such as the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park or the beautiful beaches further north.
When is the best time to go to Telipok?
The best time to go to Telipok, Sabah, Malaysia, is during the dry season, which typically runs from March to October.
During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the natural beauty of the region. The weather is generally warm and humid year-round, but the dry season offers more consistent conditions for sightseeing and excursions.
Couples looking for a relaxing getaway will appreciate the pleasant weather for enjoying the local beaches and perhaps a sunset cruise. The drier conditions make it easier to plan day trips to nearby attractions without worrying about sudden downpours.
Families travelling with children will find the dry season particularly convenient for visits to places like the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park or for enjoying water-based activities.
