Lovely beach resort”

If you are looking for midrange resort in Kota Kinabalu, Beringgis beach resort is the perfect choice. Immediately upon check in, I was impressed by the resort lobby which is uniquely Asian and Malaysian.The front desk staff were extremelly friendly and helpfull, I was given all info that I need. The lobby has a sundry shop, mini library and internet corner, You can enjoy the beutiful and green garden from the lobby. Soon after checked in, I was assisted by the bellhope to my room and impressed with the cleanliness.I was given newly renovated room which is very comfortable and have a great view of swimming pool. the breakfast served was very good and the spa packages was reasonable, value for money. I was very satisfied with my stay and will come back to this resort again.

A good place to relax”

I had chosen Beringgis as a "do nothing" holiday, as the hotel is about 25km out of the city it was an ideal location for me. The staff could not have been more helpful, the beautiful reception girls were attentive to the finest detail, had good local knowledge and went beyond their hotel duties to help me with a few personal issues, e.g. making calls to hotels, arranging taxi services, advising on local attractions. They were simply very nice people. My room was small, but perfect for a solo traveler, with nice views over the hotel gardens. The breakfast, don't expect too much, if the hotel is busy the food disappears quite quickly and is not replenished. There is a girl who makes a very good omelette and there is some fresh fruit, the other cooked food did not look too appetizing. The hotel spa offers a range of massage services that are reasonably priced. The location of the hotel is directly on a beach, the beach is nice but there is a lot of litter (not the hotels fault). A walk to the left or right ends at a river mouth. The hotel offers a shuttle bus service costing 15MR each way to the city, however the last bus returning to the hotel leaves the city at 19:45, if you want to travel in and out of the city expect to pay anything between 60-80MR each way, that is expensive. If you are arriving via KK airport you can book a fixed rate taxi to the hotel costing 50MR. As of today's date 28/2/2015 don't book for the proboscis monkey tour, because there are no monkeys and don't book for the Pradas white water rafting because the train line is being serviced and the tour company will persuade you to go to an inferior destination. Do go to the waterfront, the new Novel building has lots of good restaurants, the Phillipine market has lots of cheap coffee, spices, souvenirs, if you barter, and the waterside restaurant serves huge tiger prawns, fresh fish, squid, etc for a reasonable price.

great for relaxation”

i thought my kota vacation won't be that great until we came to beringgis. beringgis provides shuttle service from city/airport for just 15ringgit each person. so there is no hustle even though resort is far from city. they designed the room for honeymooners and i really loved it! their resto also provides great food. we ordered ala carte for dinner instead of buffet. we ate at the hut beside the resto and had our best dinner. although we didnt bathe at the beach since i was afraid with jelly fishes because i saw one on the shore. pool is nice. really recommend this place.

Beautiful resort away from the city”

The extra traveling to the resort is well worth it. Beringgis Beach Resort is quiet and well maintained. Our duplex was very clean and well designed. The water pressure was good and bathrooms come with rain showers. The beach is flat with fine smooth sand. The sea is shallow enough with no rocks or sudden drops, although waves tend to be quite rough. The resort is also less than 5 minutes away from Beringgis Seafood Restaurant which serves very good food.

Great hotel with a good service”

We reached KK town 2 days before that, stayed in KK town one night then Kundasang Hill one night. When we reached Beringgis Beach Resort, we were greeted by a lovely front desk. Just that they dont provide buggy so kinda pity for them to carry our luggage to the chalet. The room was fantastic! Very close to the beach and most importantly the bed, toilet is very clean. The beach is private too, my 2 girls really enjoyed the view and the swimming pool.

Good resort, nice beach location, a few kinks ...”

Overall we were happy with our stay at the Beringgis. The rooms were very nice, well designed, and had good views of the jungle next to the resort (we stayed on the 2nd floor of the Dinawan wing facing the back). The pool was great and our four-year-old loved the waterslide, although we noticed it was aging and cracked. There weren't enough chairs or umbrellas around the pool, and some of the umbrellas were broken. On the last day we noticed that the best of the functional umbrellas was gone. The pool bar is deserted, and the phone to order from the restaurant is broken. The beach is gorgeous, shallow and safe for little kids; our son enjoyed playing in the crashing waves. However, cars and trucks drive along the beach from time to time -- no idea why, it's not like there isn't a road. Breathtaking sunsets! The restaurant has delicious food, however, it was undergoing some very noisy renovations and on the 26th made the unfortunate choice to work through dinner (think ear-shattering jackhammers). We were told that we could order anything from the menu via room service, so went back to our room to do so only to find that nobody was answering the phone. After giving up, we went back to the restaurant and asked if they could set up a table at the function area, somewhat removed from the unbearable noise, and they took care of us. A few days later, we ordered a pizza for lunch to be brought to the pool, but it never showed up, so we trekked to the restaurant to inquire and found out that that they were out of that particular pizza. Why not just tell us that when ordering, so that we can choose a different pizza? We're not fussy, but our son needs to eat! Despite the kinks, we enjoyed our stay overall, would return in future, and would recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing beach holiday at a reasonable price.

Good family hotel”

We very much enjoyed our stay, although my wife found the bed very comfortable I felt the metal springs in the mattress were a bit close to the surface. The staff were very friendly and helpful but during this stay and during our visit three years ago. The hotel/resort is located outside Papar, some km from Kota Kinabalu, which we regard as a great advantage. KK is a bustling city full of traffic

Lovely little gem”

Wanted a small and homey resort rather than a huge, sprawling 'Brand Name'. Beringgis fit the bill. Large, clean room with all the amenities including frangipani flowers to decorate towels on the bed and in the bathroom when we arrived. The cabanas on the beach are a lovely place to relax and enjoy the beach. Service was prompt, very helpful, sincere and with a smile. The resort has shuttle bus from airport and to the town and they also can arrange sightseeing tours. The massage at the SPA is wonderful. The only negative was milky water in the pool the first day. May have been treated the night before and needed less chemical or more time for filtering.

Another Fabulous vacation at Beringgis with Georgeous Beach !!!”

What a blast!! We were able to return to Beringgis for another family vacation and so impressed again!! We have not found another resort like Beringgis with such caring, attentive and informative staff. We also have never been able to enjoy such a pristine private beach like Beringgis's beach !! Our children love it tremendously and we will return again !!

Lovely hotel in quiet location”

We use this property as our get-away from the hustle and bustle of Kota Kinabalu city. It's nice to take a night or two out of the city at such a location as this. The resort is well managed and well located at beach side of the main road to Papar from Kota Kinabalu. The amenities are more than adequate and the rooms are clean and well appointed, each with its own balcony. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The restaurant has a good menu of foods and the quality is usually excellent.

Nice hotel great location peace and quite ”

We stayed for a week and enjoyed all of it. We found the sea food restaurant just down the road offered excellent food and good prices which allowed us to have a change. Staff who at first presented as austere in the hotel were really very helpful and friendly. The beach was great able to walk long distance in each direction with hardly any one else in sight. The room was a little tired but clean and functional. The hotel seems to be pushing it's self as a conference centre which does mean holiday makers get pushed back. However breakfast was always good and varied considering they cater for 4 different palets each day. We were there on Malaysia day even then the place didn't seem to be full. We took the shuttle bus into KK because we had heard you needed to stock up on soft drinks and snacks but as it turned out soft drinks are available from the little shop's either side of the hotel and the sea food restaurant are happy to sell big bottles of beer to take away at a very reasonable price. We could find fault with lots of things but we felt we got what we paid for excellent value for the money. I would recommend anyone on a limited budget to consider the Beringgis as a good beach hotel. (it is not a resort) For some reason i was denied access to the fitness room but having looked through the window i was not disappointed.

lovely hotel”

We stayed at Beringgis Beach Resort & Spa for two nights. Overall, it was a nice experience. The room is very clean. The bar area is a good place to see the beautiful sunset. The food is not bad. It would be better if the wifi is available in the room but not just in the lobby.

Exceptional”

What i really like about Beringgis Beach is the friendly staff. I love nature so the place is perfect to me. The room is clean and comfy. But the only thing need to improve is the spa itself. But overall experiance excellent

The Best Vacation in a While”

We arrived Nov.13 for 9 nights. We had a king bed room which was very nice and cool with an outside deck looking at the ocean. The staff were always available yet not intrusive. We started every day out with a great breakfast, eggs cooked to order, a good selection of fruit, and outstanding coffee. Occasionally, as we ate late in the morning, various items were out. All it took was a request for your food and it was brought right to your table. After that it was to the cabana type building open to the sea yet protected from the sun surrounded by palm trees. We enjoyed several days just relaxing, watching the ocean, taking advantage of happy hour from 12:30 - 6:30 with a snack or two. The restaurant was open to 10pm and were never bored with the selections. Again, the staff were so, so courteous. Obviously they had been trained well. As one would expect, where westerners were in the minority, English was used, with varying levels of understanding. We always were able to get our points across. I would recommend this get-away for anyone, especially couples. We were carless and depended on tours and cabs. Even those were not that expensive. Again, I can't say enough about Berringas Beach resort. In conclusion, we found none of the negative comments from previous reviews to be a factor in our estimation. The beach was clean and occasionally breakfast food was low, but the staff always made sure we were taken care of. I recommend this resort for anyone.

great hotel, lovely rooms”

This was my second stay at the Berringas, although 35 mins out of tyhe city, they provide a shuttle service for nominal fee. Food is good, and reasonably priced. Pool area and gardens lovely, and rooms of an excellent standard. Restaurant staff are attentive,and friendly. Beach is lovely, but litter is becoming a bit of a problem. All in all an excellent 3* resort in my opinion worthy of 4* would definatly recomend. Hotel also has nice spa, reasonable price.

Nice relaxing place”

Beringgis Resort & Spa is a nice relaxing place. Room standard and cleanliness is very good. Staff is friendly and kind. Location is near to the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park which is a must visit place when staying at Kota Kinabalu.

Great Resort Hotel for Peace and Quiet Time”

We spent 6 nights at the Resort in which we are satisfied for our entire stay. Although the resort is 30 mins car ride from downtown Kota Kinabalu, it is a nice and peaceful place to stay. With the price we paid, the hotel's quality and service exceed our expectation. Every day, the Resort offers scheduled shuttle service to center point (RM 15 /person/way) which is very nice service compared to expensive taxi ride. There are mini day tour or 2D1N tour services available at front desk for booking (not own by the Resort but the Resort will help to book). There is only one dining restaurant and a Beach Bar within the resort. Breakfast buffet was great that offers western and Asian varieties. Beach Bar offers Happy Hour (3pm - 6:30pm) Dinner offers local cuisine / buffet / western foods but a little pricy (We ate 3 times at the restaurant) The pool is great for kids with slide and pool chairs for sun-tan. It is a great Resort for Family / Couple / Friends.

Very good”

Dear Sir, dear Madam, For familial emergency, we had to come back home early yesterday. We would like to know if it’s possible to be refunded at least the last night of our booking. We were at Beringis Beach Resort & Spa Kota kinabalu. You can see with the hotel that we leave yesterday night. If you want the flight tickets we can send us in attach. Thank you very much for your understanding. Kind regards, Emilie Moulin

Relax, comfortable and clean resort ”

Probably the best resort to stay in PAPAR, Kota Kinabalu, SABAH. Firstly, thanks for upgrade our room. We really like the room modern design with romantic decoration and environment. But the room is not provided hot shower. One thing we need to complain is in the morning around 9am the housekeeping use the key to open our room. The check out time should be after 12noon. Then I call to the counter to complain it. They didnt give us the reply.

Very Enjoyable Stay”

We enjoyed our stay here. The service, staff, food, scenery and the resort itself was lovely. When you stay here, it's a little far from the city and you don't want to leave every day, but it is worth of relaxation just to stay here. The hotel environment was great and suitable for relaxation. Pricing of the food is affordable and the rooms are nice. Even the pick up from the hotel with the resort van was arranged nicely and was on time. The breakfast was a spread and perfect with the view of the beautiful breezy beach. We enjoyed the welcome drink and the very good and relaxing massage. Excellent value for money. Staff were very good and helpful. Very enjoyable stay.
