Raja Abdul Muiz Bin Raja Jakaria -
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!

Stayed at the ocean wing (2 connecting seaview rooms and a third room). Also our first time in Borneo for a family holiday. Staff were great. Concierge staff were helpful and cheerful. Our thanks to them for responding to our requests and making our family comfortable, generously helping us with snacks top up, amenities, car hires, late checkouts:) For consideration: I think the hotel probably needs more staff in some areas, and more cutlery and plates and staff in the restaurants. F&B staff could be a bit more proactive and cheerful, in general. The room service tend to be slow (one experience took nearly 1.5 hours to reach), cutlery insufficient for our entire group even though we tried to remind them on the phone. Room service food often arrive lukewarm. The hotel seems to be overwhelmed at times (Oceano breakfast was excellent on one day, on another day Oceano’s breakfast was crowded, insufficient plates at the counters, and some buffet items keep running out). Seafood buffet at Coffee Terrace was average, poorer service and food quality than usually expected at such hotels in other locations. We tried Coffee Terrace’s breakfast one day, and it was also crowded and insufficiently staffed. “The Eight” served “warm” water that was actually tap-water temperature. Beach does not have enough beach umbrellas. 2-3 out of 5 were spoiled, and a very long distance to walk between the beach and the pool to get sand toys and towels. Family-friendly activities in the resort probably need better introduction. The many sheets of restaurant timetables, activity timetables, excursion time tables, and the WhatsApp chatbot, could be a better experience for families if all the information can be in one place.

My experience was fantastic! The resort itself is beautiful and literally built in a rainforest! The staff were all excellent, slight exception to the activity centre staff who mostly just encouraged you to use a QR code for information. Everyone without exception at the front desk were knowledgeable, friendly, couldn't do enough for you! At one point I had to tell a lovely woman to sit and that I was happy to walk a few paces to the restaurant to get my own ice. I love their insect repellent which is all around the hotel, and I will be making my own in future because of them. The restaurants weren't just "hotel restaurants". The food was top notch. The breakfast at the main buffet and Oceano were a dream come true. Anyone who says they couldn't find anything to eat is crazy because there was literally food for every palate and dietary requirement. The laundry service was the most reasonably priced out of everywhere I stayed on this trip (110RM for a full bag up to 45 pieces!). We had our first hotpot experience which was so exciting...my shirt didn't survive, but that was a small price to pay 😁). Thank you for everything, and I hope I am fortunate to stay at a Shangri-la again someday. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

We had a wonderful 3 days, 2 nights stay. We booked two Garden Wing Deluxe Seaview Inter-Connecting Rooms, which were spacious and offered a lovely view. Dinner at The Eight was excellent—the food was absolutely delicious. What truly stood out, however, was the impeccable service. From the front desk to the breakfast staff, housekeeping, and everyone we encountered, each person was warm, welcoming, and attentive. I don’t recall hearing a single “no” throughout our stay. My whole family felt so well taken care of, and that made our trip truly memorable.

This beautiful resort has its own private beach and spectacular views. We visited for my brother’s wedding and were blown away by the friendly and accommodating staff, outstanding range of activities, and reliable internet available from any location throughout the resort. The wedding was absolutely stunning, with the sunset beach view providing the perfect backdrop. The price of all items was very reasonable compared with similar quality resorts in other places around the world. I would highly recommend the Shangri-La Resort.
