The hotel is a bit dated, but it is very well-maintained. Its location is extremely convenient, right in the city center, and within walking distance to convenience stores and a variety of local eateries. There is free outdoor parking available, although spaces are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
The room is well-equipped with an ironing board, hairdryer, and even a bathtub. It also provides unlimited filtered water, which is very convenient, as well as a small refrigerator for storing cold drinks.
Check-in and check-out processes are smooth and efficient. The hotel lobby is standard but well-presented, giving a proper and professional impression.
Overall, it offers great value for money.

The hotel is located in the city center. The interior of the hotel is very modern and the room is clean. The staffs are very friendly , helpful and always greet us whenever we go back to the hotel . Two convenience stores downstairs and some restaurants.

I expected a great hotel stay and they delivered. All the staff were lovely. Thank you for that.
My only issue is the lack of room information regarding what is available in the hotel. Normally I would expect marketing information and menus for restarunt and bar in the room. The TV does give room service menu but was not required.
Fortunately we found Ben, the Concierge in the lobby who very kindly explained what we asked, and provided a map for the area. Very welcome. Thank you very much.

Great sea view and pretty convenient transportation. The breakfast was really just so-so though, not much variety. I'm not sure what those online reviews praising the breakfast were even talking about!
I booked this hotel for one night. The location is not very convenient as there aren’t many food options nearby, but it is quite close to the airport. Due to our flight timing, we arrived at the hotel earlier than usual. We understood the official check-in time, so we politely asked if there was any chance of checking in earlier. If not, we were willing to wait, we only hoped they could let us know once a room became available.
There were two counters. We were initially at the second counter (one next away from the 1st counter), but the receptionist asked my husband to move to the first one. No issue, we moved over as instructed.
During the check-in process, the male receptionist repeatedly asked whether I booked online. I answered yes, yet he asked the same question again. Since he already had my IC in his hand, I expected he could see the booking details in the system. I honestly didn’t understand why he kept repeating the same question.
I then politely asked if we could get a room earlier should there be any available. Instead of responding in a friendly or helpful manner, he kept repeating, “Our check-in time is 2pm,” more than three times over our check-in process. We clearly understood the check-in time, but his tone and attitude were not friendly at all. A simple “If we have a room available, we’ll try to arrange it for you” would have been enough, but instead he just repeated the same answer without any consideration.
On top of that, both receptionists, the male and the female were chatting and laughing among themselves at the counter in front of guests, which felt quite unprofessional.
Still, we were thankful that we eventually managed to get our room at 12:35pm.
Overall, the experience was disappointing and lacked basic hospitality. I’ve been travelling and staying in different hotels, and I’ve never encountered service this unfriendly before.

AMAZING!!!! The staff here! They are so unbelievably friendly and helpful. They truly made me feel so special and welcomed throughout my stay. Especially the ladies at breakfast and the guys at the door. I got the seaview room and that view was breathtaking! Front row seats to that sunset every day! The rooms are very clean and the beds and pillows are extremely comfortable, would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The rooftop bar also has the best view of the sunset in my opinion. Breakfast was great, too- so much choice!

The room was very clean and spacious, quiet, and the air conditioning was nice and cool. The shower had great pressure. The front desk staff were very helpful; even though they didn't speak Chinese, check-in was smooth. The room was cleaned daily. The hotel's location is excellent, with many eateries downstairs, making it very convenient for seafood. If you're not looking for luxury, this hotel is definitely worth staying at. You need your room card to access the upper floors, which adds to the security.

After an unhappy incident at another property(Mercure Kota Kinabalu), I impulsively booked a stay at Sheraton, honestly, best decision ever.
From the moment we arrived, the vibe completely shifted. We were warmly welcomed by the friendly porter, and check-in was handled smoothly by Mr. Irfan at the front desk—super helpful, genuinely pleasant, and he even surprised us with an early check-in and a room upgrade (already winning)
.
The room? Spacious, comfortable, and blessed with both city and sea views, hard to beat that combo. I also have to say, I really loved the toiletries; such a small detail, but it made the stay feel extra thoughtful.
Facilities-wise, the gym is well-equipped (no excuses to skip a workout), and the infinity pool is chef’s kiss—perfect for those Instagram shots.
Location is another big win, super central and convenient for getting around.
All in all, what started as a spontaneous escape turned into a genuinely wonderful stay. Definitely a place I’ll come back to next time I’m in town.

The breakfast was fantastic, with a wide variety of options including Western and local Malaysian dishes. The location is super convenient, less than 1km walk from Gaya Street, so it was a nice stroll back to the hotel after dinner to help digest. The front desk staff, both the gentlemen and ladies, were always smiling. We communicated smoothly using a translation app. We also booked a Kawa half-day tour (2 PM - 9 PM) through the hotel. To our surprise, it was a private car and guide service for only 180 MYR – an absolutely amazing value!

Great hotel and staff. The morning breakfast is the best. We loved it. The location is far from Gaya street though.
I particularly love the location, 15 mins' ride to airport and 10 mins' ride to the city centre. The area of the resort is large, next to the sea, with quite some water or other kids activities available. We didn't try the pools but look nice. Breakfast has a wide variety with something different each day. The hotel is a bit aged and torn. Cleanliness inside the room and common areas (carpets) should be better.
We stayed 2 nights and had a fantastic stay despite the bad weather on the first day. We received great services from the resort management team Mr Karl, Ms Siti, Mdm Lydia also from the restaurant and recreational team members. We look forward to be back again! Booked the family suite that is beautifully furnished and got a fantastic view of Mt Kinabalu from the room as well as variety of fishes swimming below us. Snorkelling and kayaking are complimentary for the entire day and was great way for us to explore the beautiful waters. On the last day, we unfortunately left our tablet in the room and we were notified immediately upon arrival at the jetty and the resort arranged it to be delivered to their jetty office within the same afternoon. Overall it was a great experience and the welcoming and departure greetings by the management team were certainly memorable and beyond our expectations!
i stay in the room with private bathroom, thus cannot speak for those who stay in the hut. This retreat is simple and a beautiful place to watch sunset. around 2H journey to tip of kudat. choices of food quite limited though but i enjoy my stay here nevertheless. special appreciation to the receptions on both check in day and check out day as they were both helpful and accomodating, hope this place would continue to flourish.

Our family spent three nights at Sky Water Villas. Upon our arrival at the Tourist Jetty, we were unsure where to go as their office was hidden within the other houses in the village. However, once you asked someone, they will connect you to the office. There was welcome drink after that 20 minute boat ride to the villa. There was wifi throughout the villa and the rooms has airconditioning. The meals were delicious. In the evening when the tides went up, we helped ourselves to the scuba masks, kayaks and played in the water, all complimentary. The water was clear but the corals are not thriving. A unique experience in the middle of the sea, mini Maldives.
the location is right in the center and is very convenient the room is really clean and the view is good too nreception are so friendly and helpful totally 10/10 very good

Not as good as my expectations of 5 stars of shangri la hotel, but still in great value and services consider the price is much cheaper. I came with my family including 2 kids at 6 and 8, they love the game area and swimming pools with water slides. Because of 2 nights stay in the wet seasons in September. especially after 5pm, a tropical rainfall so that I didn't get any chance to see sunset in the beaches. The beaches are not really good condition of sand quality. I enjoyed the morning hiking trip to the nearby hills and also the walk in the beach. Many wildlife and calm of the days.
