I forgot my snorkeling kit after checkout, but the managers took care of it, and they collected it, and I went to take it the next day. Thank you, Signel Roshtel, I highly recommend it and see you again when I visit Malaysia KK next time.

Aru Suites HOMESTAY WIFI,Carpark,24h Check in,Water Filter by R2 Residence

Kota Kinabalu - 1,100 yards from beach

Set in Kota Kinabalu and only 1.7 km from Tanjung Aru Beach, Aru Suites HOMESTAY WIFI, Carpark,24h Check in, Water Filter by R2 Residence offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This apartment provides air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a year-round outdoor pool. Nicely equipped apartment with spacious balcony with a nice view over the ocean and mountains. Nice quiet area, beside of the planes from the airport (which start pretty accumulated, so it's not all through the day - also I believe that the starting of the planes is heard all over the city in KK). When windows are closed, it's isolating against the sound pretty well. The water filter is nice to have and kitchen has a basic equipment to prepare some simple meals. Some supermarkets and restaurants are close by, the night market at Aru Beach in walking distance is really nice after an amazing sunset. I preferred to be outside of the center as it is more quiet, if you like to walk it's a nice walk to the center or taking a Grab is really cheap. Nice refreshing pool and rooftop area with a fantastic view on the mountains and ocean.
