The beach has changed so much over the past 5 years.

The beach has changed so much over the past 5 years. There is no longer sightings of planes taking off, only landing. Seats are now charged RM10 for those near the beach, how absurd! Things used to be free and there were coconut stalls selling coconut for RM5 each! No longer the same story now. All contaminated by the vermin and bloodsuckers!

Nice city. It was more modern than I expected.

Nice city. It was more modern than I expected. Please note that you will not be able to see any orangutans in the area: the one in the KK wildlife park is a older, lethargic one. You will be able to see the big-nosed monkeys in a day tour or the wildlife park near the city. For oragutans, you really have to travel to another Borneo city hours away. So check your expectations if this is your reason to come to Borneo. In fact, all places to see around KK are far to reach. Day trips take a long time, getting out and back to the city. The marine park across the city is worth trying but despite the pier, the ticket system remains confusing and not easy for non-Malay visitors.

Superb but only not satisfied with the placement of my family members in the strictest policy. I have been around the world to many other more beautiful hotels but only this one allows only 1 child per villa! And u should also have more kitchen staffs to prepare the food bcos it took too long

Great place to eat - lots of choice. Locals all very friendly. Traffic in Inanam is notoriously bad - but it has improved recently because of the road improvements and a new set of traffic lights. The thriving Night Market is well worth a visit.

Kinarut is a stop on only railway in Borneo.

Kinarut is a stop on only railway in Borneo. We took the train at 7:45am southbound from Tanjung Aru station. Can also be reached easily via GRAB from BKI, KK's international airport: 15 - 20 minutes. Kinarut was the location for a refugee camp for Vietnamese boat people in the 1970s. After the Vietnamese were relocated to USA and elsewhere, local refugees [Philippines; Indonesia] filled the camp. Area has a reputation for poverty, but we did not witness the camp. Strip of beach has a number of resorts which offer a variety of price points and services - all quite affordable.

The choices for food was off the charts.

The choices for food was off the charts. We loved the seafood choices at restaurants. Neyalan Seafood Restaurant and Welcome Seafood is a must do experience for any traveler/ The Waterfront Esplanade spoilt us for choices. We fell in love with the only Italian Wine / Food Restaurant. Excellent collection of imported wines and awesome pairings from seafood, pasta, meat cuts, cheeses and steaks. Doing a North Borneo Cruise 2-hour sunset with an excellent dinner and dance experience in the Bay of Kota Kinabalu, is must do, as well as the Hop On, Hop Off Bus Experience which includes 16 sites and three long stops. Overall KK has many other experiences outside of the city which we never got to in six days. Grab is the best e-hailing as opposed to hiring a car. Parking and city traffic can be very challenging. Most city hotels are within walking distance of the waterfront and shopping malls.

An amazing location - wonderful views over the bay from our very nice room. We loved seeing the monkeys, hornbills, monitor lizards and geckos. The staff were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed spending time at the simple private beach a short boat ride away. Make sure you arrive at Jesselton Point at least an hour before your speedboat leaves as they check you in there and it can take ages. Evening dining is either a fish restaurant, a Japanese restaurant or a bewilderingly large buffet.

Nice friendly place to visit. Big selection of places to eat. Lively night market - well worth a visit. Traffic in the area is dreadful - but they were doing fairly major roadworks while I was there which will hopefully improve this!
