Traveler impressions of Kota Kinabalu
More like a town than city. Shopping around business district can be done by foot and you can enjoy cheap and good live seafood in this area.
Kota Kinabalu is more like a quiet town than a city. The main attraction I would recommend Mount Kota Kinabalu to be close to nature.
A city with shopping malls to visit. There are a few islands for activities such as snorkeling, and others.
Kota Kinabalu is gaining popularity among Asian travels as well as from the West. It is a very safe place to enjoy with the family and it has a lot of venues for out door fun.
It's a small city which is awakening. It's still charming and has some bars good places to each sea food.
Our family didn't stay in the city but visited daily. We stayed at a resort outside of the city. We enjoyed coming into the city to visit the islands, shopping and dinner.
A quiet city with limited options for travellers. Recommended for booking further tours or accommodation only.
i visited here a few years back,what a difference. The roads have been improved,the areas are now very clean and tidy,shopping is good,nightlife is good,restaurants so much choice.
There are really two parts to Kota Kinabalu (KK), one is the city which can be covered in a day with very good planning (or a very good guide!).
A city full of adventure. Besides diving and beaches, a bike tour in the village and a jungle walk along mount Kinabalu were also good.
Kota Kinobalu is amazing, islands, beaches, sun and the ocean, you will love this place and the seafood is so so so yummy!
the hotel servive is quite nice.the service good.people there nicely .the location is convenience for family trip,shopping ,dine every way eazy to find and the transportation every where are eazy got motor and cab every where but when we check in is waiting so long make us tired.
A short stay in KK town is great for the food and the prewar buildings especially along Gaya Street.
I can't really recommend Kota Kinabalu for vacation destination unless you have a unlimited funds. Getting to KK and staying in KK isn't that expensive.
It's isn't my first time in Kota Kinabalu but I has been awhile and I found it very amusing with new shopping centre around and leisure island such as manukan is rather unforgettable.
Kota Kinabalu is a beautiful city with abundance of restaurants especially seafood and at affordable prices.
The city is much larger than we thought initially and there are many places of interest in and out of KK, with a great diversity of outdoor experiences: all water sports (including snorkelling and scuba diving), nature and forest walks, mountain hiking, shopping and dining, etc.
The city area of Kota Kinabalu is not really a big area where you can easily access most of the places by foot.
Wonderful city with sandy beaches and mount Kinabalu as must see. Good mix of outdoor and places to chill out.
a lot to do for outdoor activities and starting point to a lot of other attractions. easy access to beaches and islands.
Wonderful place to visit. You have highlands, the islands and nature all wrapped in one. The roads are good and road trips to Kundasang, Kudat or Sandakan is wonderful.
Nice and reasonable pricing of sea foods. City is easier to walk around,but not many city attractions to look for.
Vibrant city with many restaurants,malls,pubs and tourism destination such as the islands,Mt Kinabalu,and Cultural village within driving distance.
kk city is not really big. making easy to walk around from hotel. kk city is full of seafood restaurant and the price is not over charge.
The food, shopping mall and attraction are not as well established as compared to Kuala Lumpur. However, Kota Kinabalu offers good beach/sea activities and not to mention the spectacular view of Kinabalu Mountain.
A bustling and rapidly developing city with a regard to the tranquility and preservation of their vast nature.
I've been to many cities with markets of all types. Not trying to sound sour, but, a market is a market, is a market; whether it's stuff or food, night or some other specialty, the deals aren't deals and there are all types of goods available.
Kota Kinabalu is the city with the beautifull port, beautifull beach, also mountain area. The cost of living is also cheap.
It is just a small town with limited sight seeing activities. The food is okay, but not great. Movie tickets are cheap comparatively.
Very beautiful beach and the sea water is very clear. The beach is clear and not deep, suitable for children to play at seaside.
