Locked in the Hyatt Regency in Kota Kinabalu

Coming to Kota Kinabalu for a week, I hesitated again and again when choosing a hotel this time. In the end, I decided to go for the new rather than the old, and chose the Hyatt Regency Hotel🏨. The experience was really good! First of all, we called in advance📞 to confirm that we could check in early, and we checked in at 11 am. Normally, international hotels check in after 3 pm. I chose the Peak View Deluxe Room, which costs 1200 per night including breakfast for two. This breakfast is a must! Let's talk briefly about the hotel from the aspects of location—room—hotel facilities—breakfast, hoping to help netizens a bit. First is the location, the hotel is in the center of Kota Kinabalu city, a 15-minute taxi ride from the airport. Living and transportation must be quite convenient. Right across is the Dawn Plaza and duty-free shops, and forward is the Jesselton Pier⛵️, convenient for island-hopping trips. This area is also within walking distance to Gaya Street. There are also many popular restaurants nearby to eat at. The room I booked was 60 square meters, so it was particularly large. The bathroom is super big, open-style but also has sliding doors. The bed seems very small in this large room. The balcony overlooks the mountain view. If the budget allows, you can also get a sea view. But I feel that I can directly go to the top floor to see the sea view. Moreover, the hotel is still a certain distance from the sea. The hotel comes with a coffee machine, and the minibar is charged. Also, when checking out, they charged me extra for a pack of banana chips💰. These banana chips are not tasty, haha. My friend stayed in a suite, which is 90 square meters, honestly very large, to the extent that 10 people can have a party together. But to stay, I feel that booking a basic room is also okay. After all, the facilities and scenery of this hotel attract me more. The rooftop of the hotel has a double-sided infinity pool, a duplex dining venue consisting of a breakfast restaurant on the 22nd floor and a rooftop bar on the 23rd floor, where you can enjoy the charming sunset views in the evening and morning, with lounge chairs and a leisure area for a break. The hotel's infinity pool🏊 has a very good view and is very photogenic. It looks especially beautiful at night. If there is enough time, it's really worth watching the sunset🌇 and taking super photogenic pictures. The 24-hour open fitness center has really complete equipment, and the scenery seen while exercising is also particularly good. Breakfast is the most satisfying part! Adding breakfast for one person costs 80 Malaysian Ringgit, which is equivalent to 127 RMB. Breakfast time is from 6:30-10:30, a long time. But that morning, I had to rush to catch a plane and didn't eat to my satisfaction. I hurriedly grabbed some things. There was also a hidden menu I didn't order. Breakfast had everything, I can only say that without three stomachs, you can't eat it all. Barbecue dim sum🥧, morning wine, fruits, various yogurts, hot dishes, coffee, etc., and the sea view is really a vacation enjoyment. It's really best to include breakfast when booking a room. That day, I left in a hurry and left a very important toy🐰 at the hotel. I called the hotel and sent an email📩, they promptly helped me find it and kept it for three days, for which I am very grateful. If I come to Kota Kinabalu again, I will choose it again, it was a really good vacation experience!
