Mount Kinabalu

     On September 27, 2013,  my dad and I  left for the airport for Flight # AK1792 to Kota Kinabalu.

When we arrived we took a taxi to our hotel the Best Western. At 4:30 in the morning we left for Mount Kinabalu  HQ.

Dear fellow travellers,

 

My name is Fred. I will give you tips ( from my experience ) on where to stay, when and how to get there. And if you want, you can write a comment of where you've stayed and when is the best time to go.

 

 

  I have stayed in Koh Lipe for two weeks and stayed at two different hotels, Castway Resort and Mountain Resort.

 

 

Castaway is very nice, it has good service, bungalows are great, the staffs are nice and the food is delicious. 

Mountain Resort, no offence, but it was horrible!!!! The air con was freezing and we couldn't turn it of because the remote was out of battery, the bed was all springy and hard and no sheets or duvet instead the duvet was the beach towels, so after we went to the beach and after dinner, we went to bed in our soaking wet towels( that made us so cold, that it felt like we were in a freezer!) in a freezing cold room ( that made us so freezing cold, that it felt like we were in Antarctica in our swim suits!!!!!!!!) an when we woke up and got dressed and were going to the breakfast hall, we walked onto an red ant farm and the ants were angry, very angry. So we were running to the breakfast hall, slapping our legs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WORST STAY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
