CONCLUSION

Rasa Ria literally means "feel good" and I believe that this is what all the guests feel whenever they stay in these resort. Honestly, we stayed in this resort for 4 nights and everything from the rooms, to the food and the service was just excellent. As this was booked thru a travel agent, I couldn't earn Golden Circle award points for the stay but with the dining expenses, I was able to accumulate some 😉 This resort has also its own Orangutan Education Center where guests can meet the icon of Sabah for a fee. Of course, there are lots of other activities one can engage into. After staying at this resort, I would say that the Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort is one of the best resorts I've stayed at 😍
