Nice place to stay, with nice swimming pools and access to a private beach. The rooms were luxury, if a little dated in places. Largely serves and Asian audience, so the food is weighted in that direction (the main restaurant is Chinese) and quite expensive. The food quality was very good and the staff both professional and friendly. Good spots to watch the sunset from the beach and dedicated sunset bar. Enjoyed our stay.

My friend and I stayed here for two nights and had a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the friendly staff. The room was comfortable with a beautiful view of Mount Kinabalu, and any issues we had were quickly resolved. The resort offers plenty of activities, especially for families, and the surroundings are peaceful and well-maintained. During our stay, we noticed that most of the guests were tourists from China, but it still felt relaxed and quiet. Overall, it was a pleasant and memorable stay.

We loved the fact that the hotel had a lot of inhouse activities for the children at no additional expense. The pool area were my children's fav with the water slides, ice cream stand and the water bucket. In the evening there was a bubble bath in the public garden too. Personally i enjoyed the whole stay. Was very comfortable, attentive staff, breakfast was good. Couldnt ask for more 👍

A Wonderful Stay at Shangri-La Tanjung Aru (14–17 April 2025) I had a truly memorable stay at Shangri-La Tanjung Aru from 14th to 17th April 2025. I stayed in a room with a beautiful Kinabalu mountain view—absolutely stunning to wake up to each morning. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed and received lovely gift amenities for my anniversary 9yr from the duty manager, Ms. Suraya, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The service throughout my stay was excellent. Special thanks to Mr. Jordan at the reception, who handled my check-in smoothly and made me feel right at home. During breakfast, Ms. Mariana and the manager Mr. Majid provided outstanding hospitality—always attentive and friendly. I also enjoyed the in-room dining and tried the Kung Fu Kuey Teow, which was delicious. The infinity swimming pool and the Sunset Bar were definite highlights, especially during the golden hour—perfect spots to relax and take in the view. Overall, everything from the service to the amenities was top-notch. I highly recommend Shangri-La Tanjung Aru and would love to return again!

It is a large resort situated on the outskirts of Kota Kinabalu, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding islands. The sunsets here are simply stunning. Included within the hotel is a Marina, providing convenient transportation to the nearby islands. The hotel is about a 15-minute taxi ride from the city center. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the service is impeccable, ensuring a comfortable and pleasant stay. If you're traveling as a couple, it's worth noting that the hotel is popular with families, so expect many children on the premises.
