The hotel front staff is friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is good. The sunset view from the rooftop is so beautiful. In addition, I had a great time with my child because I could see the take-off scene of the aircraft up close. There are many useful stores such as restaurants and marts near the hotel, so it is convenient. It is very close to the airport, so it is convenient.
If you pay for the deposit with your card at check-in, it cannot be canceled immediately at check-out, and it is a pity that it takes about two weeks. Most hotels cancel the card approval right away at check-out.
I'm waiting for the deposit I paid with my credit card to be canceled properly.

My stay at the resort was not as smooth as i hoped, i did have some issues as the resort clearly requires a lot of attention in terms of maintenance. The issues i faced were addressed promptly by Mr Jakil who has the knowledge and competence to address many of the issues the resort is facing. As i have more than 15 years of management experience, i know talent when i see it and i believe Mr Jakil has it and should be given more responsibility and authority in the hotel to raise the quality and standards.

The location was great and the staff super friendly. A part of the beach was reserved for hotel guests and was not overcrowded. The team was trying its best to pick up all plastic in the morning from the beach but unfortunately during the day more was coming. People should take more care themselves.
You can go snorkeling at the beach but to arrive the corals you need to wait for the tide and have to be a good swimmer. Then it’s beautiful out there.
The breakfast was great and a good combination between buffet and menu.
Overall we can recommend it for 2 nights. Don’t forget your mosquito repellent and bites relief.
We saw several Gerrys;) - beautiful creatures.

This apartment is great! The price is about 300 per night, and you can get a large bed in two rooms, which is not a problem for two adults. Although it is a mountain view room, you can see half of the sea. The hotel environment is also very quiet. I will consider it next time!

GGuest UserHotel grandis is the best hotel I have ever stayed in kota Kinabalu this is my second time stay at the hotel.
Before I have stayed in Hilton, Mercure, Hyatt but still I feel grandis is more comfortable because of its location, easy access to mall, big rooms, comparing other hotel like Hilton, Mercure the rooms are very small no bath tub or sea view.
We book a deluxe room in grandis we had a sea view, the rooms are spacious, bed is very comfortable my kid enjoyed the bath tub, perfectly organised room, swimming pool and gym also available at the roof top.
Good thing is that they have paid parking, buffet breakfast was pretty decent,easy access to Suria Sabah mall.

LLiangpatelixiaA one-star hotel shines brightly because of the boss's super five-star service. Just listen to the boss for hotels, supermarkets, tools for catching the sea, and travel guides. It's about a quarter of an hour's walk from the beach, and there are restaurants and supermarkets along the way. The three single beds met our rest needs, which was great! Want to stay a few more days

LLinda HueyLike most for the shower volume and water pressure. Hotel service boy very attentive to open main glass door and help on my luggage, also managing the reserve car park in front of hotel entrance. Spacious and bright lift lobby and hotel room corridor. Sea view from room.
Location is opposite Suria Mall, and walking distance to many city point of interest like pasar besar, fish market, Gaya Street, and many restaurants and laundry.
The only set back is the bathroom smell prolonged on 2 days out of my 3 days stay. Both my room and another room of my trip mate.
