Homy Seafront Hostel is situated in Kota Kinabalu, within 3.6 km of Sabah State Museum & Heritage Village and 5.4 km of North Borneo Railway. The property is around 6.3 km from Likas City Mosque, 11 km from International Technology & Commercial Centre Penampang - ITCC and 1.7 km from Signal Hill Observatory. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests. All facilities were quite nice, clean, cozy and even quiet. Especially all staff was tremendously friendly. Even they are well-armed with attractive smiles. ^^ I still remember one of male staffs, Ebin(?)'s kindness. Thank to him, I learned about Malaysian culture as well. If someone has a plan to travel East Malaysia, I strongly recommend this great hostel.

Featuring a garden, private pool and sea views, #3 No1 Revisited Stay-Luxury Corner Seaview, 2bath room-Mango House3 is set in Kota Kinabalu. Free WiFi is featured throughout the property and private parking is available on site. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.7 km from Filipino Market Sabah. Loved everything about it!! Truly felt like a home away from home. Has all the amenities you need and a gorgeous view. A water filter for drinking water. Good hot showers, comfy beds and living area. Well placed power sockets and even a wireless charging dock. We enjoyed it so much despite it being towards the end of the city area. This meant a peaceful stay with a mall next door and laundry and convenience stores on the ground floor of the apartment building. For everywhere else, just GRAB. So worth it.

Facing the seafront in Kota Belud, Bigfin beach resort features a private beach area. Offering a restaurant, the property also has a garden. The property provides sea views and a terrace.

Guests at Bigfin beach resort can enjoy scuba diving, snorkelling, and kayaking while other on-site activities includes hiking or simply lounging by the beach. Friendly staff! They help u anytime! Resort is peaceful and good place for being offline. Food is good! I would recommend this place if you want to take easy and relax. Check weather if u are coming in rainy season by car. We had to leave our rental car at the Dragon Pearl beach because flood was closed the road.
