Although I am from Sarawak but I never been to its nearest neighbour Sabah in Borneo Island. Thanks to those budget airlines brought me to Kota Kinabalu from Singapore with very cheap airfare. I spent 4 days and 3 nights in KK for sleeping and eating. KK is a nice resort city lying along the beaches, sea water is clear and food is nice and cheap. If you want to look for a place for short relaxing gateway, Kota Kinabalu is a good choice.
KK Times Square Hotel, where I stay in KK. It's only few months old....
