Although it is located a little bit away from the city center, the area has plenty of shops, restaurants, and grocery stores nearby. For us as a big family, the most important thing was that the place is spacious, very clean, and furnished with modern furniture. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone traveling with family.

This villa is located directly at the beach with an amazing view. You have your own veranda, sun beds and a pool. Inside it is spacious, very clean and with a beautiful interior.

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.
