Spacious apartment with 3 rooms and a kids room. My daughter loves the toys at the kids room so much. All necessary kitchenwares are provided and we bought seafood at the emart and cooked. It’s good for the family with children.

Excellent facilities - spa, pool, kids club, golf course - all of which were made good use of. The staff are excellent and very attentive, whilst still giving you space. The Ocean Wing Deluxe Family room which we upgraded to was excellent.

We been here a few times. They have fantastic and friendly staff. Great place for children as they have facilities such as indoor playground, indoor activity room etc. They could provide a high chair and baby bottle steriliser to the room. We loved their breakfast buffet. Lots of variety of cuisine. We also loved their longe where they have live singers/music. Great area to relax and have a drink. Overall, Great place to relax and unwind from the world of work. Will definitely return again when we travel to Sabah next time.
