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. AMAZING! One of the best places we've stayed in our year of travel! We had 2 rooms and all guests were thrilled! The rooms have all been finished and fitted to a very high standard with high tech specs throughout such as electric window blinds, touch sockets etc. The attention to detail throughout is exceptional- the toiletries, free cleaning products and covid safe kit and even powerbanks with android and apple cables for borrowing in the bedside drawers! Beds and pillows were super comfortable and bathrooms were clean with good quality hot showers. Check in and check out processes were smooth and efficient and excellent communications from the CJ Residence team throughout! Also a great location-walkable to shops and malls and an easy Grab ride to the airport. 100% recommend and would stay again in KK! (in fact we already stayed twice!)

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. We couldn't have been happier to stumble across this absolute paradise! From the moment you arrive you feel like you are meeting family. We loved the secluded beach, taking the kayaks out to explore the nearby islands, laying on the hammocks and sharing mealtimes with everyone. Our food was included in our stay and it was fantastic. The rooms are clean, comfortable and have the most incredible view of mount Kinabalu during sunrise. It was a real highlight of our travels in Malaysia and the perfect spot to avoid the crowds and appreciate the stunning scenery and local life. Don't hesitate to book!
