“Personal service and great view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Seaside is a family run business. Don't expect the Sangria La - but a small resort - clean and affordable - but simple. It has a small pool and a restaurant. A small beach area that is kept clean and a fantastic view over the ocean and islands. We stayed in a family room with 3 kids for 12 days with a fantastic view and our own balcony. The Seaside is 30 minutes outside of Kinabalu and you should keep that in mind. The bus is cheap only 3 RM into town. Seaside is a quite place and really nice for families and people who want some quiteness. If you are looking at something more modern - this is not the place. It is authentic and out of the turist area. It is not turist you are likely to meet on the beach (that is not very clean) but locals.

“Fantastic property”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We booked 2 nights and stayed 7! The property is absolutely amazing. Pool area is small but great since the sea is not nice to swim in as when the tide is out it's full of rubbish although hotel staff clean it daily. Staff are all helpful, food in the restaurant is so good and a lot of choice, even for vegetarians. The rooms are simple but clean and we had a sea / pool view, very nice.

Room Tip: The rooms upstairs are the best since they have the best view!

“Good for chilling out”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

Lovely simple place for chilling out. Nice pool. Excellent food in restaurant. Beach not suitable for swimming - all rubbish became visible once tide out. Avoid the massage lady - more like joint manipulation and knuckling than a massage - most painful massage I have ever had! Sit by the pool a d relax for 24hours is perfect though. Free wifi.

Room Tip: Above the reception has great views

“Excellent retreat outside Kota Kinabalu”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We had a lovely room, Sunflower I think, nice and big, but no view sadly. Spotlessly clean. There is a lovely pool with beer on hand from the restaurant. The food was excellent at night - really fresh and the beer and wine comparatively cheap - everywhere is on a par for UK prices for beer.

Staff were very helpful, big taxi into town can be arranged for bigger groups. Night market in KK is well worth a visit and so cheap it makes up for the taxi price.

“Realaxing and very friendly. Great start to our holday”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed with our two offsprinig aged 16 & 23 for four nights at the start of our 17 day holiday. The place was clean, staff very helpful, rooms simple but clean with air conditioning. The taxi to KK was a 20 min trip costing £10 or a bus outside for very little. The pool was small but hardly anyone in it and the food in the restaurant was good. The sunsets over the sea were amazing!
At the end we stayed at Pacific Sutera for one night at decided that we would have preferred to be at Seaside Travellers Inn.
