Check-in: Not so good.... More

I stayed in this hotel for the first time last week, the staff were very welcoming. We had sea view rooms that were lovely looking out over the sunset bar. Cleaned daily and we had the rooms turned down at night which was a lovely touch. The pool was great, an infinity pool looking out over the sea and the... More

This resort is clearly the best in KK and entitled to its 5-star claim - it is well located, has lovely gardens/green spaces, attentive staff, quality fittings, good food, excellent pool and our room, while not over-large, was well appointed. There was a problem with our booking in that we were not expected until the following day, but the staff... More

We spent a week at the resort in mid January and I have to say overall it was a very pleasant stay, the staff were very attentive, the food top class and plenty of it with a very good selection in the buffet restaurant and found the prices very reasonable as we're the drinks. The pool is amazing and there... More

My wife & I stayed at the Tanjung Shangri-La for 11 nights in October 2011. We stayed there on the recommendation of our Travel Agent after considering the Shangri-La Rasa Ria, we're pleased we took her advice as the Rasa Ria was lovely (We went there to see the oranguatans) but to far out. We stayed in the Tanjung Wing... More
