While about an hour away from the main city of Kota Kinabalu, this Shang Ri La is an excellent family resort. One of the best service experiences I have ever had, the staff will go out of their way to fulfil your every need. Featuring nature trails and hiking, water sports, private beaches, an extensive family pool section and more - I highly recommend this hotel for your consideration for your family getaway. When staying I additionally recommend the Ocean Wing. Containing the only suites in the resort and featuring access to the Ocean Wing pools (including Jacuzzi pool) as well as an excellent Ala carte breakfast in their own restaurant; these spacious rooms tantalise its guests with stunning views. You can't go wrong. What's more is that at the time I went they offered an all-inclusive package bringing you even more value for your money, something for you to look into.
