We stayed at the Rasa Ria for the first 5 nights of our honeymoon and it's an impressive entrance as you walk in. We had a deluxe seaview room which was great. We also stayed at the Tanjung Aru for 4 nights and so we can compare the two. The advantages with the Rasa Ria are that it's next to... more

We stayed in the Rasa-Ria for a week in early July. As we had read in other reviews on Trip Advisor checking in was a very welcoming experience and this was much appreciated as it had taken us 25 hours to get there from our home in Ireland. We had a sea view room and were blown away by the... more

I love Shangri-La Rasa Ria. I had a hard time deciding whether to book this or STAR, am glad we chose this. The only negative point of the hotel is it is 45 mins away from the city thus you need to have your meals at the hotel restaurant but the price of their food is not exorbitant. We visited... more

We stayed at the Rasa Ria for eight nights at the beginning of July. We decided from the outset to stay in the new Ocean Wing as we had our 6 year old daughter with us and we were not disappointed, the advantages of staying in this wing outweigh the additional cost. When we first arrived the staff at the... more

NIce hotel (in a package tour/resort kind of way). Good on things that matter when you come in for a week in the sun - nice pool, close to the beach, decent cocktails, etc. Orangutans are fun - far easier and more private way to see them, compared to Sepilok. Although they charge you to see them. However, you are... more

The trip to the Rasa Ria is a long one from Sydney Australia - with KL stop over, transfers, check in, flights etc but we were SO happy when we finally got to the Rasa Ria. Ocean Wing Residents - definitely for couples, honeymooners or older travellers - are extra spolit with their own breakfast restaurant, their own huge swimming... more

My wife and I stayed at this fabulous hotel June 2-16th 2008. The trip from the UK is long and tiring but believe me when you arrive you feel uplifted as the welcome you receive is very warm and friendly. We had booked a Sea-view room, but as my wifes sister and husband were also joining us and they had... more

To start with we travel a lot and stay in lots of luxury hotels and resorts, the rasa ria definitely comes in at the top end of that range. I think what makes it special is the level of personalised service, everyone just doing thier heartfelt best to provide you with an unforgettable experience. We stayed in the new ocean... more

To say we had a great time here is an understatement - We loved it! After reading reviews we decided that this was the place for us to go and we spent 10 fantastic nights there. Our Ocean View room, the service and friendlyness of the staff was first class ( we wish this could happen here in Australia!) -... more
