Room 5.0 / 10 We stayed in the Shangri-La in Kuala Lumpur (I was not able to rate three places) and that was fantastic but unfortunately the Shangri-La at Tanjung was dated and tired and extremely busy. They were also doing renovations in some parts which was a little disruptive. The Shangri-La in KL had also upgraded us due to our repeat custom but the Shangri-La in Borneo was not interested in that at all. We paid to access the Club Lounge on a couple of days which was well worth it - breakfast away from the crowds and lovely canapes and drinks in the early evening. I am sure it will become a nice hotel once all the work is done but I think it will take a while as even the rooms are rather tired and dated which did not appear to be on the agenda for renovation. The staff were lovely though.

Room 8.0 / 10 Lovely hotel. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to help make our stay comfortable. Special mention goes to Arther Andrew, the assistant manager of food and beverages, who treated us like royalty during our honeymoon. We recommend Shang Palace for exceptional Chinese cuisine and Coco Joe's Bar and Grill for delicious, uncomplicated food.

Room 8.0 / 10 As good as the resort was, we where disappointed with the restrictive access to the rain rainforest area, one could only walk in this area at limited times, with a guide and a charge, the only area we had easy access to; was the beach, and small area to the rear.

Room 6.0 / 10 This hotel seemed to cater more for Chinese than European guests, hence there were special dining options for Christmas eve but not for Christmas day.
