Best Kota Belud Hotels

The guy, A Shun, is very nice. The service is warm and thoughtful. This is the best memory this island gave me. It is a private island, far from KK, a two-hour drive. The owner is Chinese. The room is average, which is a matter of opinion. It is not proportional to the room price. There are few marine activities, suitable for leisure travel. The beach is private, there are few people, the sea water is average, the snorkeling site is even more average, and the equipment is not complete. Please take a detour if you care

On our way to Cabana Retreat, we saw a couple of cows at the roadside. Since I wanted to take some photos, my friend made a U-turn so that I could capture a few. One cow was a shade of white & it looked quite tame & docile. The road leading to our retreat was very quiet. We hardly saw any cars & passed a jetty signboard. We arrived at 3:00 pm & managed to park our rented car near the Resort’s entrance. I went straight to the Front desk to check-in & to get our keys to our quad-tent. Thankfully, our quad-tent was located near to the common bathroom. We had chosen a quad-tent because the 4 of us wanted to have a glamping experience together. Unfortunately, one friend had to leave. Thus, there was 1 empty mattress on a wooden pallet which we had used to put all our food. Although the quad-tent was compact, it came equipped with an air-cooler, a standing fan, a small wooden table & chair, a wicker basket that was used as a wastepaper basket, a long mirror & a small area to hang our clothes. There was also a steel shoe rack. Throw pillows were given on each bed. The sheets & blankets were of hotel quality while the mattress was comfortable enough though I could still feel the wooden pallets underneath it all. The material covering our tents was of high quality too & we had double tent zippers for safety & protection. Our 2-day package came with free activities on the beach. Unfortunately, the staff was not available to teach us to handle the paddleboat. Hence, we had to forgo the non-motorised activities. My 2 friends decided to rest in the tent but I decided to walk on the beach. Strangely enough, I saw many cows on the beach! They were going for the waves. As it was starting to drizzle, I left the beach & headed back to the tent. Our package also included a Firefly experience on our 1st night. However, we had to drive to the jetty ourselves. When we arrived, we mentioned the name of our Hotel & were given admittance into the boat. The host, a middle-aged man told us to be quiet while he summoned the fireflies to our direction. It was such an awesome magical experience when the fireflies started appearing before your very eyes. Even if it’s not in the package, please make sure that you go for this activity. The next morning, we had breakfast at the Coffee House as it was included in the package. We were given a selection to choose from, either American or local meals. They were freshly made & tasty. The scenery was of the beach. There were also a few swings for guests to enjoy on underneath a roof. Outdoor tables, chairs & benches were provided on the beach where guests could enjoy their breakfast with the sand underneath their feet. There were many cats & dogs around the vicinity. Most probably they were strays. We saw a rooster trying to chase away a mangy dog. Throughout our stay, we would buy some food & feed the cats, dogs & rooster. In short, all meals – breakfast, lunch & dinner were at the Coffee House. We didn’t feel a need to

3 star hotel with great facilities. Shower is soo good, the hot water in room we stayed were just perfect. Room is so spacious. I got the room with Kinabalu Mountain View. So nice.

Feeling quite comfortable and peaceful feels safe and peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of the city and can calm the heart with a more peaceful environment and scenery...

MoTuWeThFrSaSu Reviews 1 review (1 review) Asia User Profile Asia November 2019 Amazing, highly recommended place! We spent the last 3 days of our trip around Malaysia in Nathasia’s place and it was the best possible choice! We managed to properly relax. Houses are located on the beautiful, clean beach. The beach is not easily accessible, that’s why we were transported there by the boat. It is a huge advantage as the beach is basically private. Accommodation is clean and tidy. The best parts are a terrace with external bed from which you can watch the sunset, as well as the external bathroom with beautiful flowers and the shower rain head for refreshing showers during the day. There is a lot of equipment available for guests including canoe, bamboo float and the snorkelling masks. Hosts are extremely nice, helpful and carrying. The made us feel almost like a royal family :) They helped us organize our time during the stay. They even took us for a great trip to the nearby town for an amazing dinner, which was a great experience. All the staff on the site are very nice and helpful. In the end, I have to mention food… It's DELICIOUS! The best food we had during our trip. The cook treated us every day with a variety of traditional cuisine – we all agreed that he served us the best prawns we EVER had. Summarizing, I would truly, highly recommend visiting this place. Nathasia and Rez, thank you a lot for everything! Hopefully, we will be able to come bac
