Great location; right at the centre and by the seaside. I was checking in at 5pm but the room wasnt ready. They were kind enough to upgrade and add complementary breakfast. Its not about the freebies but going above and beyond to show you care.

We stayed for 3 nights at Nepenthes Suite. We were given the very last unit facing the forest in the Park. The room was spacious and very clean. Amenities provided was sufficient except that the pantry area was a bit small. We enjoyed the experience of the fireplace being lit up, and it was very very cold during our stay there. Breakfast spread was good except that we got a little bored of the same menu almost everyday..Taste wise, the nasi lemak was good, the noodles tasted delicious too. We enjoyed the Sabah Tea very much

Before we went, I was told to be careful in KK as it may not be safe. However, we met wonderful strangers who reached out to help my wheelchair bound dad without us asking. I was very touched by their gesture. This was the best part of the trip. Pekan Nabalu is a nice place to catch Mt Kinabalu. The temperature was a nice cool 22 deg. We booked a driver, Ajib who drove us there and to the Desu Dairy Farm and the alpaca farm. Getting around KK is easy by Grab.

i love the history behind kundasang , the comunity is friendly and helpful. make sure to visit the sabah parks area such as the kinabalu park , poring hot spring , war memorial , the milk farm , some of the picture worth spots such as sosodikon hill , the botanical garden , im a birder myself so i went to alot of birding spots as well. but quite hard to spot any birds as too much foliage within the park area. but thats just nature.

Beautiful and great place to experience. Enjoy the whole trip. We plan to return fit & strong to trek Mount Kinabalu. Don't miss out. Great place for a family holiday. 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.

Once a humble coastal town, it’s now becoming increasingly tourist-oriented. Seafood tends to be on the pricier side unless you’re skilled at bargaining. Diving here offers mostly smaller marine life, especially when compared to the vibrant underwater scenes of the Maldives. Night dives aren’t permitted unless you’re staying at one of the pricier water resorts that offer in-house diving. It’s fine for a short getaway, but there’s not much in the way of standout attractions or culinary experiences.

From what we saw, pretty much the only reason to stay in Lahad Datu is to catch a plane. We were there about 24 hours which was plenty. The airport is one of the smallest I have ever been to and was hot and crowded, but the plane was on time and got us to Kota Kinabalu.

It is well worth staying at least two nights at Sepilok, so that one can attend both feeding sessions at the orang utan centre, visit the sunbear rehabilitation centre AND spend time at the wonderful Rainforest Discovery Centre. The latter deserves a few hours, preferably in the afternoon and leading up to dusk, as one can see so much wildlife,. The canopy walkway is amazing.

I wouldn't choose to stay in Keningau again.

I wouldn't choose to stay in Keningau again. It is a fairly grim place, noisy and with little to recommend it. I drove through Tambunan earlier on my trip which seemed like a much nicer place (although I didn't stay due to the lack of accommodation). The road through the Crocker range was good and worth a visit, but don't expect too much of Keningau itself.
