Hotels With Spa in Sabah, Malaysia

I had an excellent stay at Ming Garden Hotel & Residences for my recent business trip. The hotel hits the mark on all fronts—the location is strategic for getting around, and the service was incredibly efficient and welcoming. My room was spotless and very comfortable for working. Highly recommended for business travellers looking for a hassle-free experience.

Thanks to the Sheraton Hotel staff, who provided a pleasant and healing experience on our first visit to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, our mother-daughter trip was comfortable and happy. The male and female main managers helped us carry our luggage, opened doors for us, helped us open car doors, pointed out Grab locations, and greeted us. The main chef's special raksha was even more delicious than the raksha restaurants popular with Koreans. The fluent Korean-speaking female staff member who diligently served us warm tea every morning. The table servers and the breakfast manager who made small talk with us. The room cleaning maids. Thank you to everyone for their kindness and hospitality. I had a good rest and returned home. Be happy!

Thank you for providing an all-in-one environment for busy professionals like me. A place where I can work, meeting old friends, and at the same time allow my 3 boys to enjoy themselves safely. The availability of both a swimming pool and a small beach, with lifeguards on duty, gave me peace of mind throughout the day. the room was also clean and convinient for us also to enjoy beautiful morning sunrise. I was able to continue my work comfortably, spending time reading and writing on my laptop by the pool, surrounded by beautiful seaside scenery while watching my son playing. The experience was further enhanced by the availability of good food at the restaurant despite busy with customer, waitress e.g Ms Shamira and all were very helpful. Added with relaxing drinks in the evening while listening to live band performances, and quiet moments of healing by the beach, resting on the sofa with the sound of the sea. The staff were friendly and helpful, e.g Mr Alex and the team, who made our stay even more pleasant. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to come again.

The twin room was quite spacious, and the bathroom was large with both a bathtub and a shower area. The breakfast at the ground-floor restaurant offered fresh fruits, juices, teh tarik, and a wide variety of freshly made breads, pastries, and hot dishes. The second-floor pool overlooks the sea. There were many international guests staying there. Booking a month in advance offered great value for money.

Never expecting this such great location, Just walk within 10 min to Pasar Philipin,wet market,grocery and so on . Amenities well prepared, staff was so kind. I forgot her name. Check in late evening and she really helpful and full of greeting. And one more things, i LEFT MY WALLET here, And after arriving at the airport i noticed my wallet was lost or missing. Then i call the receptionist, THEY KEPT my wallet . 😭 All staff members are so kind! From cleaning services till the front desk ! KUDOS! I will come again!! THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU! I cant thank you enough.

As an older hotel, it was better than I expected. The rooms were clean and the pool was nice! There's a small beach where you can snorkel, even though the water isn't very clear. Good value for money, though it gets crowded with Koreans during public holidays.

easy booking & payment method. 2nd time booking at this hotel, strategic location with affordable price. Breakfast is provided for 2.

We had an absolutely wonderful honeymoon stay at Shangri-La Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine warmth and excellent hospitality that made our honeymoon feel truly special. The room was spacious, beautifully maintained, and offered a stunning sea view perfect for a romantic and relaxing getaway. The ambiance throughout the resort was calm and luxurious, ideal for couples celebrating a special occasion. The facilities were top-notch, especially the swimming pool and beachfront area, where we enjoyed breathtaking sunsets every evening. Breakfast was delightful with a wide variety of choices, and the staff were always attentive, friendly, and professional. A special thank you to the team for the thoughtful touches that made our honeymoon memorable. Shangri-La Tanjung Aru is truly the perfect place for a romantic escape, and we would definitely love to return again. Highly recommended for honeymooners and anyone looking for a peaceful, luxurious retreat in Kota Kinabalu.

The hotel is located in the suburbs and is an older property with somewhat dated facilities. Make sure to request a newly renovated room on the 5th floor. The hotel environment is beautiful and home to many small wild animals. However, it also means there are a lot of insects, which could be a nightmare for those who are afraid of them. I left my power bank plugged in and forgot to take it, but when I called the front desk, they said they didn't have it. Interestingly, when I called the front desk for water, they said it was free, but when I asked the cleaning cart for water, they charged 3 Malaysian Ringgit.

The cleanliness of the room and bathroom was satisfactory. The location is strategic, close to Sandakan airport, with a laundry, market, and restaurants conveniently located around the hotel. There were only three minor drawbacks: Firstly, if you book a room with a bathtub, showering is difficult. (See the second picture.) You have to step into the tub to turn on the water, and the cold tap only dispensed hot water, so you had no choice but to endure hot showers. Secondly, only one room key card was issued. If you're not staying solo and someone leaves the room, they'll have to knock to get back in. Lastly, the TV was non-functional as it had no channels and couldn't connect to the Wi-Fi. The TV itself looked like an outdated model.
