"The Pacific Sutera (silk) is probably the best Resort hotel in Kota Kinabalu. What they dont tell you in the website is that you can also enjoy the pool areas of the MAGELLAN And their members only "marina" (great for the kids!). THe Marina is the only pool area that has the slides, so if you plan to stay here at the PAcific, walk around the boardwalk - its good excercise and make the huge complex a bit closer to each other.

"Spent a week in the spa suite apartments for the family and we absolutely enjoyed ourselves. The location was ideal for those seeking to get away from the busy city, while still remain close to amenities. We rented a car at affordable rates from a local car rental company, and used a mobile app called WAZE to get around - driving around was easy since the app had the most accurate and up-to-date information. Having spent 7 days in the resort, we got around easily to the local restaurants for the best seafood - very cheap and fresh. Check out Gayang Restaurant and their cheap and fresh lobsters and crabs. Convenience shops like 7-11 were everywhere and there is a large supermarket called GIANT just 10 mins from the resort (google "Taman Indah Permai"). Our younger son (age 5) caught a cold and there's a very good and experienced paediatrician called Dr Jeffrey Soon about 30 mins drive away (Lot 66, Lrg Zirafah 10A , Taman Layang Layang , Luyang, 88300 Kota KInabalu), where we got him treated. Around the resort, there's a gorgeous golf course sandwiched between the mountain ridge and the beaches. And there's also a water theme park called "Lagoon Park", where we spent a day with water activities. Generally, while the resort may be about 45 mins drive from the city, there are enough facilities and things for my family to enjoy. The hotel staff were extremely prompt in their responsiveness to our requests (extra towels, utensils for cooking, etc). Very warm and friendly. The stringent security checkpoints also made us feel safe and secure throughout our stay. We had a good deal for this booking via Agoda. Paid for the price of a 4 star hotel but it really felt more like a 5 star. Highly recommended for couples looking for a private place as well as for families looking to get some peace and quiet. "

"My room was garden wing, and I visited with my family. I thought 1 hour long from city is far away. But at the moment I first saw my room's view my family happily moaned because of the nature view. Our journey to Rasa Ria was too long and tired. Because of corona virus, even we were not sick we had to afraid and kept nervous from our home to Kota. But Rasa Ria showed us warm heart service. Especially Korean Guest Coordinator 서은주(Elva) understood our situation and we were not good at English so She helped us a lot. In our short vacation, we really appreciated about her service and friendship. Rasa Ria's clean and safe environment was also great then I expected. We had to check our fever when we come back to resort and eat breakfast. It made us feel relieved. We could relax during staying in Rasa Ria. I hope nature, Fire Flies keep alive and safe. The waves were so powerful while we were staying, we could not use other sea activities. Thank you for your sevice, I and my family mad"

Definetly recommended to friends and relatives who would like to have a well earned holiday in Kota Kinabalu. Thank you for your excellent service! "

"I was speaking at a conference in Kota Kinabalu, and stayed at the Hilton Kota Kinabalu while I was there. The hotel was great in all respects. The food was awesome, the room size was very good, the location was excellent and the reception staff were pleasant. I'd definitely stay at the Hilton Kota Kinabalu again."

"This hotel was the first 5-stars hotel in Kota Kinabalu. Over the years, numerous other 5-star hotels were built in Kota Kinabalu. Being a loyal guest of Hyatt Kinabalu Regency for more than 20 years, for me Hyatt Regency Kinabalu is still the best . Must try: Oxtail Asam Pedas in their Tanjung Ria Restaurant."

"I am very satisfied with their service and facilities.. With the room rate agoda gave us, I was expecting nexus resort is just another ordinary beach front resort. Hey, Nexus did disppoint us. It is far more than just a beach front resort. They have a lot to offer. They have 5 restaurants in their resort, a spa equipped and designed to make you feel more relaxed and sort of a VIP. A shuttle service to move you around the resort. Their beach, made me decide to visit again kota kinabalu. Despite of having beautiful beaches here in the Philippines, it calls me to go back. Indeed rumors are true that kota kinabalu have very nice beach, not polluted, fine white sand, all these infront of nexus resort. Staff were very kind and helpful. "
