Great property grounds, smelly carpet

The hotel property and bfast are amazing. Nice pools and pvt beach. Very nice. However, the carpet in the room had a terrible smell. The furniture is a little worn but the bathroom has been updated.

Good for families

Very nice hotel near the airport with comfortable rooms and good food. The only thing I didn’t like was the Al the children focused playgrounds and swimming pool and game room etc. Definitely a family oriented hotel.
Kathryn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay for 3 nights at the hotel. 3 nights went by so quickly that we wished that we could have stayed longer. The facilities offered by the hotel are excellent especially for families with children. Special mention to receptionist Dzarif for making our stay more memorable with the seaview room. Will really come back to stay in the hotel again in the future.

not good

Overall, it is worse than Shangri-La Cebu Mactan. The sunset isn't particularly spectacular, but it's acceptable. Breakfast is not tasty. The staff are not friendly.

10/10 Exceptional

다양한 프로그램과 음식 , 객실 상태 그리고 직원 서비스 모두 만족스러웠으나 수영장이 공사 예정이라 그런지 바닥이 까져있고 청소가 안된 느낌이라 아쉬웠습니다.

코타키나 발루 최고 숙소는 여기!!

일단 숙소 비치뷰 자체가 너무 좋았고 다만 문제점은 커플인데 옆숙소와 문하나를 두고 소리가 다 들리는게 문제였습니다. 또한 체크아웃 이후의 스타라운지 이용할수있는 베네핏 또한 너무 좋았습니다. 다시한번 샹그릴라를 방문하게끔 만들었습니다. 다음 코타키나발루때도 필히 재방문 예정입니다.

명성에 맞는 훌륭한 서비스

고급 호텔 명성에 맞게 서비스도 친절하고 묵기 편안했습니다. 다만, 제 기준 에어컨이 너무 약했어요. 더운 실외에 있다가 실내로 들어오면 땀이 금방 식지를 않아서 따로 핸디 선풍기를 켜야 할 정도였습니다. 그 부분만 제외하면 나머지는 아쉬운 점이 없었습니다.

スタッフが非常に親切でよかった。街までは遠いのでグラブかタクシーは必要。チェックアウト後のラウンジは便利だがドリンクバーくらいは欲しい。

We didn't want to leave

The Shangti-La is just a step up from other hotels. Yes, it's big and busy but the staff go out of their way to really spoil you. I'm vegan and they bent over backwards to ensure I had a great breakfast, sent soy milk to my room tweaked dishes so I ate well. And the location - oh my. We stayed in a garden room and could walk straight out looking at the sea. Room had a shower and a bath, was well stocked. Water in the fridge every day. Their Spa was great too. I can't think of anything bad about the place. We just didn't want to leave.

整體來說還不錯，但一開始搞錯我們入住人數導致備品不足及床位不足是小小瑕疵。
