A 3 star hotel situated in the heart of beautiful Kota Kinabalu that offers a modern comfort, simple & value on every guest stay.

The basic necessities were complete, much to my liking. Really liked that there are two pillows for both beds. Loved the mini refrigerator. The staffs are friendly too. No complaints so far, only compliments for my first experience here. Looking forward to repeat this experience.

    Our stay at Borneo Beach Villas was an absolute delight. The villas were beautifully designed, offering stunning views of the ocean right from our balcony. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that all our needs were met promptly. We particularly loved the spaciousness of our villa, the well-maintained private pool, and the convenience of having a fully equipped kitchen. The resort's amenities, including the fitness center and spa, added an extra touch of luxury to our stay.
