Note: I’m covering Promenade hotel and its surrounding apartment complexes not including Colonade in this post.
Location: Kota Kinabalu, facing the sea and surrounded by MANY eateries. Plus Promenade itself offers great buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner so food is not an issue when you stay here.
