Beautiful resort on Tanjung Aru. Really nice resort style. Rooms may be a bit dated but comfortable. We stayed in the sea facing suite and it was impeccable. Front desk is responsive and resolves issues quickly and efficiently. Really thumbs up - one of the best service I have ever gotten. Ground facilities are plentiful and well updated and maintained. The charm of the place is in its people - staff are all well motivated and helpful. Really pleasant stay overall. Not to miss is the sunset view - no wonder people flock here just for it.

The Great - stayed with our newborn and the level of service provided was through the roof - room came prepared with baby cot, sterilizer, bottle warmer, baby bath essentials and bathtub, baby potty. Amazing and only because of this it’s 4 stars despite the below. Not so Great - A) circles membership must be informed to staff and not automatically requested for, we missed out a few dining points as we had assumed that providing the room number is automatically linked to the points registration. Funnily the receipt already shows my membership details through the room number but apparently is not linked to the points system. B) there were construction upgrading works around the resort right outside our room, and was only made aware after checking into the room via a paper on the desk. We booked a seaview terrace but whole area outside the balcony was cordoned off which meant a huge detour to walk to the sea side, and most parts of the day there were random workers and vehicles at the area, not very assuring for privacy and security. Our booking was made a month in advance, least they could do was inform us in advance of the works expected.

We had an amazing time at Shangri-La. From the moment we were at the lobby, we were greeted with warmth by the friendly and helpful staff. They had prepared (delicious) chocolates and a rose for our 2nd wedding anniversary - it was a nice touch! We also loved that room service can be done via our mobile phone. Very convenient and service was quick. The view from our room’s balcony and the sunset near the beach were superb. There are daily activities we can do like yoga etc. The swimming pool was fun (with slides and other activities) and we had the time to go to the gym before having our breakfast buffet. Christmas decorations were magical! It was worth the stay. Would definitely return!
