Very nice stay with great service

We booked 5 nights at the hotel and used a DSU. We had a nice suite that faced the ocean and received a letter on the globalist inclusions. In addition to the nightly offerings in the lounge, we had access to the breakfast buffet, 2 pieces of laundry a day (most appreciated!), 10% off all food and spa and an ice cream cone.

What impressed me the most about this hotel was the staff--lounge staff told me that they researched my preferences so I had my hypoallergenic pillows, a sheet under the duvet and they offered me nuts. While the breakfast buffet is busy, we had no problem getting a table, the first day was one of the reserved tables for globalists, the rest we found on our own. The breakfast was very good, an international buffet with lots of offerings of malay, indian, chinese, japanese and western food. Enjoyed ordering included cappucinos.

We did not use the pool and the only negative was the location in the center of town, otherwise a plus, made for some noise. But since we had a four room suite, we closed the doors to the rooms that had the windows so that controlled the problem. Would definitely recommend using a DSU--our suite had a large living room, a bedroom, a large walk through closet area and a bath with two sinks and separate tub and shower.

We used the hotel as a base for exploring Borneo and since it is a category 1 hotel was a steal at points and cash rate of $50 and 2500 points per night. In fact we kept the room when we flew to Sandakan for a 3 day two night jungle wildlife excursion.

Our total bill for 5 nights with breakfast, one lunch for two and tax was $278 and 12500 points.

Definitely recommended.
