Set in a large section of land from the main road onto the beach. We stayed in one of the bungalows for 80.000 MYR a night. Basically furnished. TV but no English speaking channels. Clean with attached bathroom with hot water. Free wifi and free drinking water. Our bungalow was steps away from a lovely swimming pool with sun beds.... More

I stayed three nights at the end of a busy time in Borneo, and it was perfect for a relaxing break. The pool was clean, and the surrounding sunbeds fine, though not much shade. The bar/cafe by the beach (Cecilia's) made for a very pleasant spot to sit and watch the waves or the sunset, and prices and service were... More

Good, basic but comfy hotel by the sea. We arrived in the middle of the night after flight from the UK and I was bit surprised that there is no hot water as I dreamt abut a long shower. Our room was simple with old furniture and rather ugly view, but spacious and clean. The pool was small and with... More

We stayed 6 nights in Feb/March as part of a tour around Sabah. The Inn is located at Kinarut, which is about 20 min bus ride from KK (RM3 fare - buses run every few minutes up to about 7pm - after that its a RM15 taxi ride !) We had a "deluxe" room (room 1) which had a double... More

We stayed a couple of nights here and found it clean and comfortable. It is a 20 minute (3 ringgit) mini bus ride to the centre of KK which is fine for getting in and back to see the sights. The beachfront restaurant serves a simple continental style breakfast with cooked options charged extra. The sunset view over supper was... More

Seaside is a family run business. Don't expect the Sangria La - but a small resort - clean and affordable - but simple. It has a small pool and a restaurant. A small beach area that is kept clean and a fantastic view over the ocean and islands. We stayed in a family room with 3 kids for 12 days... More

We booked 2 nights and stayed 7! The property is absolutely amazing. Pool area is small but great since the sea is not nice to swim in as when the tide is out it's full of rubbish although hotel staff clean it daily. Staff are all helpful, food in the restaurant is so good and a lot of choice, even... More

Lovely simple place for chilling out. Nice pool. Excellent food in restaurant. Beach not suitable for swimming - all rubbish became visible once tide out. Avoid the massage lady - more like joint manipulation and knuckling than a massage - most painful massage I have ever had! Sit by the pool a d relax for 24hours is perfect though. Free... More

We had a lovely room, Sunflower I think, nice and big, but no view sadly. Spotlessly clean. There is a lovely pool with beer on hand from the restaurant. The food was excellent at night - really fresh and the beer and wine comparatively cheap - everywhere is on a par for UK prices for beer. Staff were very helpful,... More
