Unacceptable check-in experience today at Ocean Wing How disappointed I am with our check-in experience today. As a returning guest, I chose your resort expecting a 5-star standard, but today was an absolute operational mess. I booked 3 rooms for 3 days and 2 nights in the Ocean Wing. Knowing it's peak season, we purposely arrived at 3:30 PM (after the 3:00 PM check-in time) to avoid the rush. Instead, here is what happened: The Delay: The check-in process took 25 minutes, and by 4:00 PM, only ONE room was ready. Staff couldn't tell us when the other two would be done. The Lounge: We were sent to the Ria Lounge for complimentary high tea. The lounge was tiny, packed with tired people, and completely messy. Tables were full of dirty plates and cups, and they ran out of clean plates and even milk for the coffee. We had to leave. My elderly parents were exhausted and just wanted to rest. No Communication: By 5:00 PM, nobody had called us. I had to call reservations myself, only to find out the second room was finally ready. Ignored at Front Desk: When I went down to get the key and asked about the last room, the front desk agent just handed me the key and completely ignored my question. I sat there patiently for another 30 minutes, asked nicely again, and she still didn't answer me. It is now 5:45 PM and I am still sitting here waiting. Your resort has been around for over a decade. Sabah has public holidays and tourist seasons every month, so high occupancy is not an excuse for bad planning and terrible communication. Why didn't the team plan ahead and put extra resources where the bottleneck was? If you cannot handle the crowd and maintain quality, you shouldn't take so many bookings. Reputation takes a long time to build but can be lost instantly. We are celebrating Visit Malaysia 2026 this year, and this is a terrible way to welcome tourists. A simple "sorry" doesn't fix the hours of rest my family lost today. I want to know how management is going to solve this and make things right for us. It is 6:00 PM now and we still haven't received the key to our last room, while many other guests are asking about their rooms too.

The most impressive things of this hotel are the service, the beautiful beach and the fantastic cultural dance. The welcome drink is good, staff’s service is good, the room’s view is good and I love the balcony and also the birthday surprise, but may be the room is a bit run down and it can be better in cleaning of the room. The inclusive breakfast is so so. Some foods are a bit salty but the bakery is good, the fresh juice is good too, and I love the live cooking station. Room service foods are good. The beach is huge that I never seen and the sand quality is good. I enjoy so much in beach’s activities and the cultural performance. Sunrise hike is interesting that you can choose to join. It will be more attractive to me if the rooms can be modernized to enhance the water supply, the sockets (the covers find loosen), television signal and cleaning of sofa. Overall the experience is good and enjoyable. I”ll recommend you to visit for a cost effective resort experience in Kota Kinabalu.

My family and I stayed at this hotel last week and it was excellent! The food was amazing (chef's kiss) and their restaurants provided a large variety of option that I loved. The people that work there were also very friendly and welcoming. They were always quick to help out and answer any questions we had. We were looking to get away from city life for a bit and that's exactly what we got. We were also able to book a really friendly and knowledgeable driver to drive us around when we decided to explore some of the tourist areas outside the resort. Oh! We also had the opportunity to explore the nature reserve with one of their rangers. The hike wasn't that difficult and the viewing platform at the top was totally worth it! I would highly recommend this resort and would love to come again some day.

If you’re looking for a quiet holiday surrounded by nature, this is an ideal choice. The nearby beach adds to the sense of tranquility. The rooms are clean and well appointed, though slightly dated. Service is average overall; apart from a few front office staff members, the warmth and welcoming atmosphere could be improved. There is very little to do in the immediate vicinity. However, a trip to spot the proboscis monkeys is a worthwhile adventure. The city of Kota Kinabalu is about a 40-minute drive away, and hiring a car is recommended if you plan to explore the surrounding area.
Kirshan Reddy
Wonderful hotel secluded from hustle and bustle of the city. Whilst an old hotel, the staff are very friendly and excellent service throughout. Management has added touches to make it feel special and kept it looking good. Kids club needs an upgrade but mostly for relaxation. The food variety is astounding. Many dishes for all needs - Asian, western and semi buffet at Ocean Wing was a standout (although birds at breakfast are a nuisance, staff offer ability to close your plates whilst dining). You have to be prepared to accept the natural surroundings with birds, insects etc but didn’t cause us any issues.
