First of all, Merry Christmas everyone! And OMG in my hectic mind, I totally forgot to post my November short trip to Semporna (yes, again). But this time I had a valid reason; it was to celebrate yours truly's birthday. So me and my hubby decided to splurge a bit and went to this brand spanking new hotel at Jalan Kastam, right in front of the locally viraled hangout place Kalapa and walkable to the nearby Seafest area.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that my room was already prettily decorated as I made my way into it. Such a thoughtful gesture on behalf of the hotel as I've made no such request upon booking. The room was also spacious and with very nice view of the town area & the sea with cute freebies snacks. And despite worrying about the very limited parking, the receptionists proposed that we leave our car keys with them for a valet parking type of service. Good for them for actively trying to pleased their guests.
But with new hotel comes the pending 'improvements'. For one they really should make sure that their swimming pool on the top floor are up and running since it was obvious that the area was still under construction (during my stay) even though they did let guests swim in the weirdly designed pool. Also our modernly designed bathroom/shower had low pressured water that they might need to look into. But I see potential in this hotel; if only they can maybe lowered down their pricing a bit since it was probably one of the priciest I've seen (and been) in Semporna.
Type - Superior King Room
Room - 5/5 (very satisfied with everything)
Price - 4/5 (again, a tiny bit of reduction would be nice)
Service - 5/5 (staff were friendly and nice throughout)
Decor - 5/5 (birthday decor - need I say more?)
Facilities - 4/5 (hoping for said improvements to be implemented)
Location - 5/5 (very walkable to everywhere & fantastic views of the sea)
** So here are some views of the hotel...
... and inside the room
