Room is spacious and clean. Rooftop swimming pool is nice. The fragrance from the hotel smells so good. Staff is super helpful. I lost my phone cable and shops were closed already. I had an early tour next day. The staff from the reception was so nice and helped me to charge my phone. So I could be able to contact the guide in the next day.

The sea view from my room and the cafe was so beautiful. The staff was so nice especially at the cafe. My husband was asking a question regarding the one of the food just to make sure what was it, and the staff explained it so eagerly even showing us the example of the packaging. Love the breakfast here! The location was so strategic, walking distance from any attraction food and shopping places. Near to the airport and easily access for e hailing.

It's a pretty fast-paced city with a large sprawling suburban area away from the coastline, regular traffic jams and huge smelly markets by the foreshore. We used it as a base for a trip to the Tip of Borneo, climbing Mt Kinabalu, and flying over to Sandakan for some wildlife spotting, and our focus was never on actually staying in KK to enjoy it, merely to stop over. However, we did discover a gem of a spot near Gaya St with beautiful little cafes and gift shops that is well worth checking out. Visit Woo!, The Nook and The Art Attic and you'll have a great time.

Immigration counter for elderly[>60years] & parent with infant was miss-used; probably should station an officer to monitor it. I decided to take local taxi from airport to Dynasty Hotel, instead of booking 'GRAB' or 'MAXIMM'; it was a mistake...as I have to wait nearly one hour; probably at night [2030], taxi are scarce; anyway it was a nice short journey; In the morning,[0830] I took a "GRAB" tp Piasau industrial area & it picked me up very fast; I noticed the roads are clean. no debris sighted.

It is always very pleasant browsing through all the fruits and plants stalls. In actual fact, the whole purposes of going up to Kundasang is to visit this stalls.

Great experience.

Great experience. The walk on a deck around the jungle is great idea for families. The flora gives you the feel that you are in the middle of the forest and sometimes apes cross it too then it turns into real jungle. Le loved it. The nursery offers view rooms with or without A/C. your choice. The main deck is big enough for everyone to see. 100% must do activity in Sandakan.

There’s not a lot to do or see in Sempora. It’s a jump off spot to local diving and islands. The best coffee I found is at McDonalds. Good idea to get cash before you get there, lines at ATMs can be n hour long. Wise red worked a treat for eftpos. Small supermarkets have everything you need with a variety of eating places

Bintulu town is a great place to visit. Been to the local beach in the evening after the visit to the Tumbina park. Few good malls we visited n did a bit shopping. Nice restaurants around town n not difficult to find them while driving around. Would like to stay at Similajau National Park once the park is open for overnight stay.

Sibu is a charming riverside town in Sarawak with a laid-back feel. Love the local food scene, especially kampua mee, a local must try noodle and kompia, a local savoury pastry also must try! People are friendly and it’s a great base to experience authentic Foochow culture. Riverfront is nice for evening walks, central market is lively, and the people are welcoming. Great spot to experience real Sarawak life away from the crowds.
