Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa - Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa is located along Tanjung Aru Beach and it's just a short drive (6.8km - approximately 10 minutes drive) from Kota Kinabalu International Airport. We stayed one night in Kinabalu Wing Mountain view room that comes with a king size bed, study table, LCD TV with various types of TV channels but all the channels appear fuzzy, complimentary drinking water, face mask, alcohol wipes, hand sanitiser, coffee or tea making facilities, mini fridge, in-room safe, electric mosquito mat heater, bathrobe, slippers, iron, ironing board, hair dryer, complete toiletries and self controlled air conditioning.

Spacious and comfortable room with private garden view balcony. Since it's the rainy season, the view is just the cumulonimbus clouds instead of Mount Kinabalu. Room looks clean but I saw a lot of tiny particles underneath the bedside table. I wonder what it is... Bathroom comes with a bathtub but looks old and not quite sparkling clean. Anyway, glad that the bathtub can fill up rather quickly and beware of the hot water coming out from the faucet because it's really hot! Finally I get to use my bath bomb that I keep for almost 6 months due to the lockdown. On the other hand, shower wasn't that pleasant. There's nothing worse than an inconsistent water temperature in the shower.

Hotel facilities include gym, swimming pool (with life guard on duty), water play area, table tennis and tennis courts. Apart from that, there's an ice cube making machine conveniently located along the main corridor. Overall it's a relaxing staycation just less than 10km away from our home.
