Hotel in zona Gereja SIB Kiau Taburi, Kota Belud

I visited with my Family on the 8th of August. Took a twin room which has 2 queen sized beds. I arrived at the location at noon, feeling very stressed out because was having a bit of an argument with the family. My mother was having one of her fits when we arrived, saying she didn't like the place, I on the other hand, was wondering why I spent so much money on this place. I called the caretaker and he was quick to respond, good guy, we got to our room, still stressed out, and felt instantly that the room was sp****. I was immediately questioning my reasoning for booking this place. Fast forward an hour or so later, when everyone calmed down (mother included), we were immediately in a better mood. The landscaping of the place is really beautiful, and the view of mount kinabalu was very majestic. We left both the front and back door open and the winds were blowing through the room, keeping it cool, my mom and my sisters were all starting to enjoy the place, myself included. I started looking into the details of the rooms, the quality of the materials used to construct the villa was of the highest quality, toilet was made with marble, and everything else was simple but robust, and could tell that material choice was quite important. The landscaping was also quite nice. Beautiful garden. And it's just so private. To sum it all up here are the pros and cons of this place. Pros: 1. High quality material used to construct the rooms 2. Beautiful landscaping - very calming and great. 3. Very private 4. Friendly and quick team to reply 5. Nice toilet (best in Kundasang) Cons 1. Price a bit on the high side (but it's private and most probably the nicest hotel in kundasang, cant compare to established hotels in the city( 2. Lacks some finer details : instead of 3 in 1 coffee, put a Nespresso machine in every room with 4 to 6 capsules, that really makes a difference in terms of perceived quality. 3. Pillows could be better - sheets are alright and bed is alright - but I stayed in four seasons kl for 40 percent cheaper, so... A bit hard on that end 4. I appreciate the disposable tooth brush, soaps etc. But I think the soap would be better if it was in a bottle stuck to the shower wall where it can be refillable, perhaps they could use a branded soap and shampoo for that, and not put it in small bottles, but in refillable permanent bottles in the room. 5. Restaurant - it's not under them, they share it with the hotel about a 5 minutes drive away. It's not bad, but it's far from good. No alcohol in sight there, so better BYOD. Although pricing wise it's on the high side, and there are some things that they can improve on, I'd still go back there, as it's the only great and private stay in kundasang. Everywhere else is not up to spring gardens quality, for now....

La stanza era buona, la posizione è buona. Il personale è molto utile. La stanza non ha aria condizionata o ventilatore, è abbastanza calda al mattino tardi. È troppo vicino alla strada principale, si può sentire i veicoli passare. Non si può vedere la montagna dal balcone della stanza ma si deve andare all'area di parcheggio per vedere la splendida montagna. Le scelte per la colazione erano limitate, nessun buffet, ci piace il char kue tiaw yumss! Non dimenticare di cadere al Chill@1850 caffe, l'ingresso stradale è proprio vicino all'hotel.

Merasa cukup selasa dan mendamaikan terasa aman dan damai jauh dr kesibukan kota dan dpt menenangkan hati dgn persekitaran serta pemandangan yg lebih damai...

Bel posto. Ho avuto un soggiorno molto piacevole. Il personale è molto utile. La stanza era abbastanza grande e buona per stare. Il colazione è stato così semplice ma delizioso. L'alloggio molto vicino alla spiaggia usukan solo pochi passi. La spiaggia è bella, soprattutto durante l'alta marea, e sarà una famiglia molto gentile riunire a Usukan Cove Lodge. In generale abbiamo avuto un buon soggiorno. Vieni presto.

La stanza è nuova, particolarmente pulita, la vasca è molto grande, oltre la mia immaginazione. L'hotel ha una rete, il personale aiuterà a mandare la scatola nella stanza, e la stanza può praticamente vedere il mare.L'atmosfera è magnifica! L'isola di Piraeus è una delle mie isole preferite. Posso immergersi, giocare a piastrelle, testare e ballare insieme la notte! Se hai la conoscenza di poter bere un bicchiere e parlare della vita!A dieci minuti dalla costa, l'equipaggio è molto amichevole e carino. La cena è molto buona, non dimenticare!Non devi perdere la carta di foto

On our way to Cabana Retreat, we saw a couple of cows at the roadside. Since I wanted to take some photos, my friend made a U-turn so that I could capture a few. One cow was a shade of white & it looked quite tame & docile. The road leading to our retreat was very quiet. We hardly saw any cars & passed a jetty signboard. We arrived at 3:00 pm & managed to park our rented car near the Resort’s entrance. I went straight to the Front desk to check-in & to get our keys to our quad-tent. Thankfully, our quad-tent was located near to the common bathroom. We had chosen a quad-tent because the 4 of us wanted to have a glamping experience together. Unfortunately, one friend had to leave. Thus, there was 1 empty mattress on a wooden pallet which we had used to put all our food. Although the quad-tent was compact, it came equipped with an air-cooler, a standing fan, a small wooden table & chair, a wicker basket that was used as a wastepaper basket, a long mirror & a small area to hang our clothes. There was also a steel shoe rack. Throw pillows were given on each bed. The sheets & blankets were of hotel quality while the mattress was comfortable enough though I could still feel the wooden pallets underneath it all. The material covering our tents was of high quality too & we had double tent zippers for safety & protection. Our 2-day package came with free activities on the beach. Unfortunately, the staff was not available to teach us to handle the paddleboat. Hence, we had to forgo the non-motorised activities. My 2 friends decided to rest in the tent but I decided to walk on the beach. Strangely enough, I saw many cows on the beach! They were going for the waves. As it was starting to drizzle, I left the beach & headed back to the tent. Our package also included a Firefly experience on our 1st night. However, we had to drive to the jetty ourselves. When we arrived, we mentioned the name of our Hotel & were given admittance into the boat. The host, a middle-aged man told us to be quiet while he summoned the fireflies to our direction. It was such an awesome magical experience when the fireflies started appearing before your very eyes. Even if it’s not in the package, please make sure that you go for this activity. The next morning, we had breakfast at the Coffee House as it was included in the package. We were given a selection to choose from, either American or local meals. They were freshly made & tasty. The scenery was of the beach. There were also a few swings for guests to enjoy on underneath a roof. Outdoor tables, chairs & benches were provided on the beach where guests could enjoy their breakfast with the sand underneath their feet. There were many cats & dogs around the vicinity. Most probably they were strays. We saw a rooster trying to chase away a mangy dog. Throughout our stay, we would buy some food & feed the cats, dogs & rooster. In short, all meals – breakfast, lunch & dinner were at the Coffee House. We didn’t feel a need to

Receptionist is very friendly and housekeeping are very helpful too. Clean and spacious room. Bed and pillows are comfortable. Excellent wifi connection.
