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.

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.

The pool was very fun with 2 water slides one was small while the other was fairly large. The hotel provided 2 floats that were like a floating beanbag one was orange one was red. We lived at the garden wing. There was a pool that was 2.20 meters deep. The rooms toilet could not flush and was clogged. The bathtub was old and dirty with patches of brown ruff stuff. The service was not bad but not good, first the food was bland and for dinner the fresh apple juice had a weird texture while the watermelon juice tastes like watermelon rinds. The restaurants were expensive and the food wasn’t even that good. There was a Japanese restaurant and the food was very expensive but wasn’t that good. The sand felt like kinetic sand. It was very easy for me to call grab I only had to wait 4 minutes for it to arrive. On the second floor of the hotel there is a shop that closes at 9pm and inside there were instant ramen the non-spicy ones were maggi and chef. There were a few spicy ones. Overall the view is pretty but there isn’t any other restaurant nearby so we could only eat the hotels food which wasn’t that delicious but since we came on the 23rd of December on Christmas Eve we could do some activities like traditional brain teasers and gingerbread man cookie decorating etc. We had to use the toilet on the 2nd floor because ours was broken but that could had just been a fluke considering the hotel has 4.7 stars

An Unforgettable Getaway: Exceptional Service and Culinary Delights at Shangri-La Rasa Ria! From the moment we arrived, our stay at Shangri-La Rasa Ria was truly exceptional. This resort is a slice of paradise, but what made it stand out was the incredible team who went above and beyond. A massive credit is due to the Reservations staff, specifically Angel and Ruby. They handled our pre-arrival and check-in process with such smoothness and professionalism. They were highly efficient and incredibly accommodating, even graciously granting us a much-appreciated late check-out, which made our final day so much more relaxing. Their effort truly set a positive tone for the entire trip. The luxurious accommodations and stunning natural setting are a given, but I must highlight the delicious breakfast experience. Chef Agnes and her team deserve special praise. The quality, variety, and taste of the food were outstanding every morning. Her culinary talent made breakfast a genuine highlight of our day. Thank you to the entire team for a memorable stay. We can't wait to return here again!
