While memories are fresh, I decided to write my review about this hotel. We decided to take Nexus Karambunai, because SHANGRI'LA was undergoing renovations during this period. With a heavy downpour from the airport, we reached the hotel, it was already late in the evening. At the reception they took a deposit of 200 dollars and even gave a memo in Russian, from which we learned about Nadia, the hotel manager, whom we subsequently contacted more than once. Our room was on the second floor of one of the six two-story buildings. The room was very spacious, with high ceilings and old furniture. At first we did not understand why there might be negative reviews about this hotel, but the next day everything became clear. The next morning I was pleased with the singing of birds and the view from the balcony - a lake with a fountain. Then the negative - the restaurant, from which they were shocked, a crowd of Chinese in red T-shirts swept away everything, decided to wait until this "wave" passed and went to the beach, where again the same Chinese, lovers of being photographed in the pose of "swallows" against the backdrop of the sea. Later, everything became clear, in this hotel there are constant crowds of people - rallies, seminars, conferences take place, and it’s better not to wait until they look for a table for you for half an hour, go for breakfast after 9. The choice of food is not the best. There are several restaurants, for breakfast and dinner we chose a restaurant overlooking the sea, standing on the beach. The sea was not entirely pleasing - there were a lot of jellyfish and people were swimming with caution, although there is a solution from a jellyfish bite in a box on the beach, and then when the waves rose, the jellyfish disappeared. For several days in a row they took bicycles and rode along the paths of the hotel, as well as the golf courses that are located on the territory of the hotel, this pleasure costs 10 ringit per hour. We went by bus to the city several times, the fare is 24 ringit - 8 dollars per person round trip, the schedule can be found at the reception, and they are immediately recorded on the bus. It is better to get off in the city at the first stop - 1 Borneo, because there is a more civilized bargaining. center (albeit with fakes of all well-known firms) than at the next stop. The last bus leaves the terminus at seven o'clock. . It is better to buy alcohol in advance - in your duty free, because. to. here the prices are not encouraging. On the penultimate day we went on an excursion to the nat. park, took one of the excursions with great difficulty, there are very few Russian-speaking guides and found the guide Ira after 5 days. That's all, yes, there is also a spa center on the territory of the hotel, but I can’t tell anything about it, because I haven’t been.
