Almost everything. The place is beautiful, clean, and new. The staff was nice, smiling and seemed to enjoy working there. They were doing karaoke with the guests in the evening... Looks like a good atmosphere. The rooms were clean. The view from the room is amazing. It's a quiet place beside a few boats in the morning. The lunch and dinner were good, seemed homemade and fresh. The shared and open area is very nice, with a slide to the water and a net to rest above the water. A bit pricey but I really recommend it.

    Amazing location in Kinabalu Park. We stayed in a Peak Cottage and woke up to a wonderful view of Mt Kinabalu. The cottage was perfect for our family of three. Great to have a separate lounge area. For us, this was a stop over between Sepilok and Kota Belud. It was perfect for the night and a reprieve from the heat. Lots of information on walking trails in the area. We choose to visit the botanical gardens, and they didn't disappoint

The musicians called the Highlanders were excellent and knew such a wide variety of music. They were a lot of fun. The snorkelling was good but you needed to go out away from the shore.

    Important and interesting history related to the British...

    Important and interesting history related to the British influence for town development; especially the story that unfolded and is memorialized about the war years and the sad fate of many Aust & Brit POW's and the of local Sabah supporters and underground. The history of extensive logging and use of timber was of professional interest to me as a forester. The brutal destruction of the timber buildings by the Japanese military was bad - and the gradual rebuild over following 10 -20 years is remarkable. Its notablel that the central city is declining due to lack of regular upgrade and maintenance, and influx of certain migrant groups and housing needs. Also notable that commercial business and new shops have expanded out into modernized precincts away from town centre. Proximity to Sepolik rainforest reserve and other wildlife conservation parks is great for travellers to eastern Sabah. Local malaysian people are friendly and easy to relat to in the main.

    There are many places with a Mountain View, and there are also places for taking selfies - but you need to pay RM5 per entry - around the main roundabout at the centre of town. Halal food aplenty, but you need to confirm by checking the Google review - not all those wearing headscarves are Muslim and common names like Lidya can be misleading too. Do check out the Pasar Tamu Kundasang or morning market at the Night Market area - got to know new types of fruits like buah cinta, halia hutan, avocado cheese and so much more. You can buy cinnamon sticks for souvenirs to take home - long as a walking stick or short ready to use ones! A must-visit to Desa Dairy Farm for the fresh milk, yogurt, gelato & calf feeding!

    Only a 20 minute ride from Sandakan Airport so it’s worthwhile checking out for the day. There is only about 1 whole days worth of activities in the area I.e. the Orangutan Center, the Sun Bear center and then the rainforest discovery Center. I probably wouldn’t recommend more than 1 day in this area unless you want to do some of the extensive forest and mangrove walls that are at the rainforest discovery Center - but they’re more for the dry season rather than the rainy season. I strongly do NOT recommend the probiscus sanctuary back in Sandakan as it’s more of a single species zoo only - it’s much better to get out to the nearby Kandabangan River Area

Don't have to travel to Europe to gain such a fascinating view, Only be mindful, a lot of uphill if u wanna walk around. Great place for retirement if u love trekking n love nature.

    A good area for spotting wildlife, but I would recommend staying in a smaller family-run accommodation as you get a better personal service and excellent local knowledge. Early morning and late afternoon and night boat trips offer great opportunities to see the wildlife. We enjoyed walking round the local village, but there are not many places to eat out. We had all our meals at the homestay.

    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.

    Kota Kinabalu is the most cosmopolitan of the cities in Sarawak and Sabah. Shopping is good, plenty of eateries and the inner city is walkable . The traffic like in all Malaysian cities is horrific. I want to point out that taxies in Malaysia don't have meters any more and charge for transport whatever the want (always to much) compared to Grab/Uber.
