AJ Residence - Above Peppermint Asia City is located in Kota Kinabalu, less than 1 km from Filipino Market Sabah, 2.8 km from Sabah State Museum & Heritage Village, as well as 5.5 km from North Borneo Railway. This 4-star apartment offers full-day security, luggage storage space and free WiFi. The apartment has private entrance. Normally I don’t rate a stay a 10/10 (I travel often), but this time AJ residence proved that they deserve the 10/10. Firstly, the communication was perfect, they responded very quickly and I felt very welcome with their messages. The room was comfortable and very clean, I mean very very clean and not a bit of dust! Amenities was great and nothing was missing. The staff was very kind and they make sure you feel home, that’s their motto. The location was great, lots of shops, eateries, malls, nightmarkets nearby. Thank you Vinah for your care!

Featuring a restaurant, the 3-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom. The accommodation offers room service, an ATM and currency exchange for guests. Best place we’ve stayed at in Malaysia so far. Great location - right next to the KK night market. Really nice, clean room with so many amenities! Water, fridge (for all out market goodies) slippers, iron, + thoughtful details like an umbrella, and much more. All presented beautifully with nice ribbons and packaging. The hosts were very attentive, helpful and kind. They made sure that our every need was addressed. They even accommodated for a slightly later check out due to some issues we had. Very updated look + free upgrade to a window room. It is easy to see they take great pride in their accommodations and a positive experience for their guests. Loved our stay here and would come again.

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. Everything ! The beauty of the place,even the details with the planting of flowers and plants. Food was very good. Very kind staff. Everything day, a man cleans the beach! So ok there is just electricity between 5 pm and 9 pm , but it is written in the description ! So why complain after?! We loved it there! Great atmosphere ! Not for people looking for a five star resort! But for simple people who want to enjoy nature.
