We had an excellent stay at the Shangrila Rada Ria hotel. The resort is extensive, offering plenty of activities. We particularly enjoyed the spa, the reserve, the pool, horse riding, and the diverse range of restaurants, including Italian, Japanese, and Malaysian options. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Milhan, Erly, Yadmin, and Adeline for their outstanding hospitality. We look forward to returning again.

It was great hotel. Staffs were friendly and room was nice and spacious. One thing though, even after I showed them and email about the 10 MYR per night tourism tax will be paid by Expedia at Check in, they still asked me again to pay at check out. It didn't happend at my other hotel, Le Meridien at all. Other than that, it was great stay.

Beautiful hotel in a peaceful location. The staff were all so kind and helpful, the amenities were plentiful and the options for food / activities were great. We found a lovely farm to table restaurant (Land Eco Farm) about a 10 min drive from the hotel which I would recommend for a sunset seafood dinner!

A bit of luxury in Sabah.
This was a lovely hotel. The breakfast was fantastic with so many choices. Restaurants seemed very expensive but we were not on a package. Staff were wonderful, great pools and gardens.
