An absolutely wonderful resort! The staff are really fantastic and attentive, and the resort itself is out of this world - the infinity pool is a holiday on its own!! To be honest, there's not much outside the hotel - Kota Kinabalu is a £4 (RM20) taxi ride away with lots of good eating places, but is not a particularly... More

The Club Room we stayed at in the Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa was grand. We stayed at the Resort for two nights using it as a base for our Mount Kinabalu adventure. The first room we had had sweeping views of the sea and the islands, it was just beautiful. The second room overlooked the local fishing village, which... More

Make sure you hit happy hours times (2 for 1). A must see is the Sunset Bar! The pool was refreshing and the poolside service wasn't the... More

Yes this place is very nice, but i was a little disappointed. The drain in our room smelt bad and we had to constantly air the room and make sure all the drains were closed before we went out. I know this is a problem with how they do plumbing in Asia but was kinda annoying. We only stayed 3... More

After having treked the Sandakan Death March route and climbing Mt Kinabalu it was a pleasure being pampered in such a fabulous resort. On arriving the staff gave us a drink and wash towel to freshen us up while they checked us in. The rooms were great looking out over their gardens and also very quite. A view out to... More

Both our boys loved the water action. It's in a great location, right near aiport and not far from town. Because we had the kids we... More

We stayed at the Shangri-la Tanjung the end of March for 5 days with our 2 kids, 6 and 4 years old. It was our first time in KK, it is not far from the airport which is nice after a long flight. The service was excellent all around. The spa was great. It was one of the best massages... More

Hubby & I travelled with Mr 8 & Miss 5 in December. We all had the most amazing experience. Rooms were more than comfortable, restaurants provided amazing food (including room service). Suited all our tastes - kids, meat eater & vegetarian. The kids begged to go to the free kids club every day. They loved the pool & slides too.... More
