The resort's location offers stunning views of the surrounding nature, making it a beautiful escape from the hustle of Kota Kinabalu. While the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the overall experience is marred by high prices and subpar dining options. The resort has potential, but the service and facilities need significant improvement to match the premium pricing.

I recently visited Kokol Havenly Resort, which is a lovely getaway just 30 to 40 minutes from KK City center. The views are stunning, with a glimpse of Mt. Kinabalu when the skies are clear. However, while the resort is fine for a quiet escape, it has basic rooms and lacks features like a swimming pool or spa. It's a decent choice for couples, but the facilities could use some upgrades.

Kokol Havenly Resort offers stunning views of Kota Kinabalu Bay and the surrounding mountains, making it a peaceful escape from the city. While the rooms and dining options are quite basic, the serene atmosphere is great for couples looking for a quiet getaway. However, the lack of amenities like a swimming pool or spa might disappoint some travelers, and the food did not meet my expectations.

Kokol Havenly Resort is a nice getaway about 30 to 40 minutes from the city center, boasting amazing views of the city and mountains, including Mount Kinabalu on clear days. The rooms and food options are basic, and the lack of a swimming pool or spa might limit some guests' experiences. Still, it’s a peaceful spot for couples or those looking for a quiet retreat.

The resort offers a beautiful hilltop view of Kota Kinabalu, which is definitely its highlight. However, the overall experience was quite disappointing due to dirty and poorly maintained rooms, along with overpriced and subpar dining options. While the setting is picturesque for photoshoots, the value for money is not there, as it feels like a cash grab rather than a genuine hospitality experience.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms were dirty, smelly, and old, which really detracted from the stay. It's hard to enjoy the beautiful scenery when you're not comfortable in your own space.
Service
5.0
While the staff tried to be friendly, their efforts couldn't compensate for the poor management and lack of hospitality shown. I encountered issues with extra charges that felt unnecessary.
Location

The location is ideal for a scenic escape away from the city, providing a beautiful view of the bay, but it is a bit far from most attractions.
Dining
5.0
The dining experience was quite underwhelming with overpriced and tasteless food. Paying RM40 for a poorly presented dish really felt like a scam.
Facilities
5.0
Facilities were poorly maintained and gave an overall impression of neglect, which is unfortunate given the resort's potential.
