Delicious Local Cuisine

During my stay, I was pleasantly surprised by the food! The restaurant served a variety of dishes including authentic Sabahan food which was incredibly delicious. It was evident that they used very little MSG, and every meal we had felt fresh and well-prepared. I appreciated the generous portion sizes which made dining very satisfying.

Amazing Mountain View

Staying in the Kinabalu Wing was a highlight of my trip. The room provided an amazing view of Mt. Kinabalu, especially at sunrise. I loved sitting on the balcony with a drink, soaking in the scenery. Although the furniture could use updates, the comfort level of the bed made up for it, allowing for a restful night in perfect tranquility.

Amazing Shower Experience

I found the bathroom facilities to be quite impressive. The hot water shower was fantastic, with pressure that was just right. It heated up in less than two seconds, ensuring that I could enjoy a refreshing shower without any delays. Cleanliness was also on point, which added to my overall positive experience.

Comfortable and Clean

My room in the Kinabalu Wing was clean and tidy, making it a very pleasant place to return to after a day of exploring. The peaceful environment ensured a great night's sleep. While some furniture was showing its age, the overall comfort of the room made it feel homey. I felt relaxed throughout my stay.

Ceyln Resort offers beautiful views and great hospitality, especially from the front office staff. We had a pleasant stay in the Kinabalu Wing, although our experience in the Jungle Mountain accommodation was far from ideal due to cleanliness issues. Access to the resort was challenging due to the poor road conditions, making it less convenient, especially for smaller cars. The breakfast options could be improved as well, but overall it was a decent experience.

We stayed in the Kinabalu Wing, which was spacious with nice views, but could use a little updating. On the other hand, the Jungle Mountain room was not clean and had insect issues.

While the resort is situated right on top of a mountain, making for beautiful scenery, the road to get there can be rough, especially for sedans. It's a bit removed from the main road, but perfect for those seeking tranquility.

The lodge is a decent spot for a quick stop while traveling, offering clean beds and average food. The journey there might be challenging due to the gravel road, but the views in the morning make it worthwhile. For longer stays, the view and service could elevate the experience, although the breakfast offerings are pretty standard.

Ceyln Resort offers a serene escape with impressive views and friendly service, especially if you opt for the Kinabalu Wing. My experience in the Jungle Mountain room wasn't ideal due to noise and maintenance issues, but the hospitality made up for it. The location is quite remote, with a steep gravel road that can be challenging, especially in wet conditions. Overall, it's a good value if you're looking for comfort amidst nature.
