A tropical beach resort with extras...
One of the finest resorts I've been to while not being overly lux and reasonably priced. Helpful smiling staff. Amazing food quality and variety. Well appointed quiet rooms. Vacant beach! A huge nature reserve adjacent, worth exploring with trained guides on premises.

가족들과 함께 여행했는데 조부모님, 아이들 모두 만족하였습니다. 가족여행으로 추천합니다. 휴대폰은 저와 가족이 1번씩 잃어버렸는데 직원들의 노력으로 금방 찾을 수 있었습니다. 그들은 세심하고 사려깊고 친절하며 성실했습니다. 코타키나발루 최고의 리조트였습니다.

We really enjoyed our stay, room was lovely with fantastic views of the gardens and ocean. Only downside I would say is the service around the pool is very slow. We also wasn't keen on the chinese restaurant, but really enjoyed the teppanyaki. Also enjoyed our time around the sunset bar until the sand flies come out.

Here's a draft of your review for posting on Expedia: --- **Rating: 3/5** We recently stayed at the Shangri-La resort and had a mixed experience. While the service and facilities were generally good, there were a couple of significant drawbacks. Firstly, the prices within the resort were surprisingly high, comparable to major Australian cities. This made dining and other activities quite expensive, which didn't feel reasonable considering the location. Secondly, the beach, which is a key feature of the resort, was disappointing. Due to ocean currents, the beach was dirty and lacked the expected tropical charm. This was a major letdown as a beautiful beach is central to the appeal of a beach resort. Overall, while the service and amenities were commendable, the high prices and underwhelming beach detracted from our overall experience.
