I visited this hotel a couple of years ago but I can still remember its POOL! It was a man made sandy beach style, but it was really well done, very high end not cheap or poor work. I would love to get the opportunity to visit again one day! More

I have visited the empire hotel for the last 3 years. 2009, 2010, and 2011/12. It is an amazing place, with wonderful views. Amazing rooms and is as glamourous as it comes. The first two visits were phenominal, and I would rate it 5 stars! However my last visit has left me feeling a little disappointed. The lagoon pool was... More

The check-in process was rather disorganised, with a couple of people manning the desk, but people just milling around waiting to be served. Took 20 minutes to check in, then only one of our rooms was ready. They need to have... More

Stopped here as a stopover on the way back from Kota Kinabalu. We were both amazed with the hotel. Huge atrium and is certainly imposing. Rooms were nicely furnished and massive. The main pool was under renovations, but the smaller pool was lovely, with nice circular lounges to rest on. The breakfast was average, certainly had much better (Ayana in... More
