Find Hotels in Labuan, Malaysia

Lots of Duty free shops. Lots of statues and a wonder through the town centre is interesting but not something that you would spend hours doing.Hotel pool was where we spent most of our time.

I can't found other nice food. Beer and alcohol is a must buy item just be aware on the expire date. Not so recommend go aquarium although its free entry, little species and tiny. War memorial park you may go as it well-organized.

I possibly should have looked at hiring a taxi for the day but i enjoyed floating around the resort. I was told the war memorial is very good also.

And do not forget to stop a Anjung Ketam, this is a must in your itinerary list to enjoy the yummy crab! When you shop at Jalan OKK Awang Besar, don't forget to bargain, bargain and bargain. Liquor is cheap but make sure you're sober when you leave Labuan, otherwise you will not allowed to board your flight!

You find plenty of choice of alcohols. Chocolate is another things that I travel there. Plenty of selection, brands and you name it you properly can find it there.

But excluding activity at beaches and islands, there are not much ativities that we can do. Only a few good restaurant available, only a few attractions available, and limited good hotels.

If you're a diver, the surrounding dive sites near the island are one of the worlds best.

It is relaxing and people are easy going so if you want to relax, eat and drink well for a reasonable price I cam recommend to visit the island. You can with ferry to Brunei and Sabah for further explorations.

They say there are cheap gearls but we never tried.
