Book a Hotel near Shangri-la Rasa Ria Nature Reserve, Kota Kinabalu

Last day, I asked in the lobby for a glass of ice tea and I said no, and when I checked in, I got a client who gave me a check right away. I noticed that when I checked out, I was surprised and upset about the customers.

The location itself is secluded, which we known before hand and we have own transport. The villa faced beach, there’s a retaining wall to safeguard waves crashing the sand around the house, but there’s staircase leading down to beach. There are two rooms and shallow and narrow pool around the house. Great for kids. The view are spectacular. Sand is soft on your feet, beach is private and clean. The villa was a little worn and really in dire need of repair. The sliding door handle was already broken when we got there. The living room light was not working. The first night we used the kitchen, the sink was plugged. So the management offered us a plunger to “fix it our self”. The second day, we have storm while we are out for lunch. We came back to flooded living room. The cleaner came about 40minutes later to someone dry the area. The curtain was soak, not replaced. My brother bags was soak, thank goodness his electrical device were ok. The master bed was not comfortable at all. The plywood that hold the mattress underneath keep falling off when matress was shift (when we try get in the bed). There was no laundry service or machine in this area, be prepare to bring extra clothing. The staffs are very polite and helpful, hence my charitable 3stars for this villa. I will not return if condition of the villa did not change. I hope the management or owner fix the sealant on all windows since it appeared rain water can easily sipped in and caused flood.

Room light switches would not allow all lights to be turned out simultaneously. Lousy sleep with glaring florescent light.

It was the first time for us in nexus and it was great , we meet up with my family , my daughter and son in law this was the 3rd time that they have stayed at the nexus , and we and the rest of our family would stay there again .
