Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu, hotel in Gaya Island

Boasting an outdoor pool and 4 dining options, Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu is set in the heart of Kota Kinabalu. The property offers spacious guest rooms with city or sea views.

Fantastic sunset view with white egrets coming in to roost and sleep on the trees in front of the swimming pool which is on the 2nd (3rd) floor where there's a small bar. Although there's no access to the beach, there is the quayside row of bars and Italian restaurant just 300 m walk in front of the hotel (crossing a busy main road). Behind the hotel are lots of small shops (not really selling anything attractive to tourists BUT there are 2 kopi tiam (traditional non air-conditioned coffee shops) within 80 m selling 1) pork noodles 2) selling tom yum, curry and prawn noodles and also wah tun hor. They open at 7-4pm only. Further on behind the hotel around 900m is KK garden which has a few seafood restaurants, the one I would recommend is Shiang Tian. Lots of Korean tourists seem to like it there cos there's lobsters, crabs, fish etc

    The staff are exceptional. The variety of food is amazing.

    The staff are exceptional. The variety of food is amazing. Facilities were in good condition and easily accessible. I expected we may be able to hike a few trails on the island but this was not possible. It surprised me for such a relaxed place that you needed more formal attire (trousers, closed shoes and collared shirt for) for one of the restaurants. We weren’t prepared for that. Sunset cruise was brief but great

    We had an incredible stay here.

    We had an incredible stay here. The island team go to great lengths to make sure their guests are well looked after. At dinner the chef came out to say hello and wish us a happy anniversary! Wow! Our room - should I say house? - was amazing. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, turn down service at night, great food, gorgeous settings and the nicest staff team ever. Highly recommended!

    A beautiful island the hotel was a high standard but food...

    A beautiful island the hotel was a high standard but food and drinks are very pricey. we were transferred by a shuttle boat which took 10 minutes it was included in the cost of our booking but we heard other people say they were not aware of the extra costs. our villa was at the top of a steep hill with amazing views. and was a beautiful villa there was nothing on their website saying about steep hills and steps so be aware when you book . this would not put me off from going again we would definately return! snorkeling was amazing with lots of fish. we also went to the private beach which was stunning. we ate in the restaurant for a buffet evening meal there were lots of choice and lovely fresh hot food the staff were very friendly and could not do enough for you and so helpful a wonderful place to stay.

    Staff we're amazing, treated you like a celebrity and made you feel very special at every opportunity. Was treated to an anniversary cake and we had really attentive service. The island itself is stunning, and the activities on offer are amazing. Would love love to come back. Clara was our lead host, and she was lovely and sweet.

    The location is amazing, the staff is very friendly and the spa treatments are really good. But that’s about it, the rest is a disaster, incredibly expensive and NOT a 5-star hotel. I went there to relax for a few days, it was impossible to relax anywhere.

    The hotel is located on a private island, where you feel the jungle and can enjoy the proximity to nature. The island is full of the wild species that you can hardly see anywhere else.
