Lock in a great price for Shangri-La’s Rasa Ria Resort & Spa – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Ocean wing-room, pool area, the beach, the staff, service were unbeliavable! Everything was so perfect that we definitely will miss this resort.

Anita, Finland

Amazing luxury hotel 45min north of KK airport. Lovely peaceful atmosphere, a few great restaurants, free evening cocktails were a great bonus! Loved the sunset views, buffet breakfast, super-comfy bed, pillow menu, spa bath on the balcony...all of it really! We stayed for our first two nights in Sabah to rest/recoup after the long flight before going travelling. We stayed at a couple of other 5* hotels around KK during our trip and this was by far the best.

Lynsey, United Kingdom

Beautiful property, design and space of room is spectacular. Facilities are good as well

Veronica, Singapore

Breakfast is quite nice as variety of food selection,keep in up.

Mui, Malaysia

Staff was very accommodating and I loved the large bed in the Ocean wing.

Connie, Hong Kong

The location, The long walk in the beach, the facilities and the realx atmosphere

Nadir, Algeria

Had a wonderful three nights at Rasa Ria. We were most impressed by the extremely friendly, helpful and thoughtful staff who anticipated our needs throughout our stay.

Duncan, United Kingdom

The staff were unfailingly welcoming, polite and friendly. I was upgraded to an Executive Suite which was great, but as a single traveller I probably didn't make as much use of it as others would. Of all the restaurants I would rate Oceanic Italian as the best; although Teppan-yaki was great theatre if you get a table indoors; while the Indian Naan was also nice food. The nature reserve is worth a visit for the experience and the knowledgeable guides as well as the view from the top, but if you want guaranteed wildlife you should travel around Borneo.

Fiona, United Kingdom

Very comfortable and relaxing environment. Staff very friendly and helpful. Ocean wing rooms and pool amazing.

Mary, United Kingdom

This is the best hotel, I've ever booked !! everything is a top notch

“Very poor value for money. Suitable for families with very young children only. Disappointing”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Deluxe Double or Twin Room with Sea View
- • Stayed 7 nights
눉The hotel was bureaucratic (we had to fill in a form to get a new room key that didn't work when we first used it and also to get the safe to work which was broken on arrival). The restaurants were very expensive (there is nowhere else to eat near the hotel) and overall this hotel is very poor value for money.They charged for absolutely everything. We have stayed in many 5* hotels but never before have I felt that I was being ripped off in quite the way I did at this hotel. It definitely spoilt the stay. The buffet was an absolute orgy of food-maybe not just the fault of the hotel but also greedy guests but the wastage of food was unbelievable. Full of very small children but not good for older teenagers. Constant loud (and fairly appalling) live music in the bar so nowhere to go for a quite drink. Not classy at all.
눇Comfortable, large beds.

눉Staff in general are not attentive - more than 3 occasions did not deliver on our requests - which were all agreed readily such as ensuring rooms are cleaned before noon as our kids have to take naps, etc.. just simple requests Food (buffet) spread in general are good and quality of food also good. But having little children (I've got 3) all having to pay for the buffet prices (while they could eat only very little) for pretty much all the meals came up to quite a Sum. There wasn't much choice as this hotel is not near any other food options and alternatives.

눉The counter staffs can improve more knowledge of what the hotel offers. And they can speed up with the check in process. It feels like they need to type so much and it really take them too long. Best top provide club facilities, not jus ocean wings which is too far a distance to walk.

눉The pillow is not comfortable advisable provide more selection of pillow like harder type or softer texture will be more ideal.Room Sound proof condition need to be improve as easily heard the noise of minor repair or construction going on during early morning time(before 8am) as well as outside noise whenever passerby talk louder.In Room amenities and welcome fruit quality need to be improve up to hotel rating standard.

눉It was around a 50 minute drive to/from the airport and city Centre, so you feel a bit stranded and cannot go anywhere. The food quality was extremely mediocre for a luxury hotel (particularly the teppanyaki restaurant which was sub-par). After 3 days, you can easily get sick of eating the same food. Air con in room was very weak and wasn't cool enough.
눇Staff was very accommodating and I loved the large bed in the Ocean wing.

“It was a great way to wind down after a tour of Sabah with a bit of luxury.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Executive King Room with Sea View
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉Unfortunately, the beach does have sandflies and the jungle nature reserve has a pond at the entrance which attracts insects.
눇The staff were unfailingly welcoming, polite and friendly. I was upgraded to an Executive Suite which was great, but as a single traveller I probably didn't make as much use of it as others would. Of all the restaurants I would rate Oceanic Italian as the best; although Teppan-yaki was great theatre if you get a table indoors; while the Indian Naan was also nice food. The nature reserve is worth a visit for the experience and the knowledgeable guides as well as the view from the top, but if you want guaranteed wildlife you should travel around Borneo.
