Kota Kinabalu 3 Nights 5 Days Trip Day 3

Grandis Hotel

Today’s tour starts in the afternoon, so we had a leisurely breakfast~

I took a picture of the dishes I missed on the first day, lol.

Grandis Hotel

There was a rooftop swimming pool, so I went for a morning swim.

There was also a gym on the same floor, but not many machines.

Grandis Hotel

The operating hours are from 8 AM to 8 PM.

It closes between 3 PM and 4 PM.

You can borrow towels from the cafe on the first floor, so please refer to the photo!

Also, there was a hotel under construction in front of it, and I guess once it’s finished,

it might be difficult to see the ocean view from Grandis.

Grandis Hotel

Enjoyed swimming to the fullest.

It was nice because no one was there at that early hour!

The sun was very hot, and the ground was scorching hot, so make sure to wear shoes…

Suria Sabah KFC

For lunch, we decided to have a simple meal at KFC in the shopping center.

We ordered a chicken set, a single hamburger, and a cola.

It turned out the hamburger was buy-one-get-one-free, which surprised us.

Looking again, it says [free] in the detailed description lol.

Suria Sabah KFC

The drink with the chicken set was lemon iced tea, which was very bland.

The soda was also bland.

It seems like the drinks at any place taste like they have a little bit of powder mixed in.

I took the remaining hamburger to go.

Suria Sabah Vinci

Then, I went shopping at Vinci, a famous miscellaneous goods store Malaysia.

I only intended to browse, but the bags were so cute and cheap…

I hesitated between two, but ended up buying both….

Grandis Hotel

On the way to get a massage~

I had booked a massage before the tour, so I took a selfie with my mom while waiting~

I always thought I looked exactly like my dad,

but looking at the photo, I seem to resemble my mom a lot too, haha.

Sea Spa Massage

We took a van to the Sea Spa massage shop.

It was located near the Number One Mart we visited yesterday.

Sea Spa Massage

It was much better than the massage shop we went to yesterday.

It was a 90-minute full-body aromatherapy massage, and it was just the right amount of firm and soothing pressure.

The owner here is Korean (I think so, at least),

so I think it would be great to make a personal reservation and visit.

(I went again on the last day and highly recommend the foot massage).

Beringgis Riverside Seafood Restaurant

After the massage, we came to Beringgis Restaurant for the sunset and firefly tour.

There’s a small pier here, and we take a boat from here.

Beringgis Riverside Seafood Restaurant

While waiting, they were selling ice cream, so we got one each.

It cost about 12 ringgit for two.

Beringgis Riverside Seafood Restaurant

And this place is a paradise for cats…

There were so many, but only this one came out clearly in the photo ㅜ

They are angel cats that don’t run away and love to rub against you 😭

Floating Sunset Tour

We took a boat out a short distance to the sunset tour spot!

The river connects to the sea, and it took less than 5 minutes to get there.

Floating Sunset Tour

But there was a lot of trash on the beach…

Humans, I’m sorry…

Floating Sunset Tour

Clumped sandballs.

Floating Sunset Tour

And selfies lol.

Floating Sunset Tour

I took a lot of jump shots, but the beach wasn’t that pretty.

There was a lot of trash, and it was low tide…

Floating Sunset Tour

And the sunset was so beautiful…

Which focus is prettier???? 🤔

Floating Sunset Tour

I even tasted it lol.

Floating Sunset Tour

So frustrating with the mini camera quality ㅜ I’ll definitely buy a professional one next time…

Floating Sunset Tour

The sky with the moon was also pink and pretty.

Floating Sunset Tour

Beringgis Riverside Seafood Restaurant

After the sunset tour, we returned to the restaurant.

Beringgis Riverside Seafood Restaurant

They served a Korean-style buffet for dinner.

The kimchi here is amazing lol.

Both the cucumber kimchi and the radish kimchi were so delicious…

Beringgis Riverside Seafood Restaurant

We played with a cheesy cat before the firefly tour.

Kawag Firefly Tour

(Firefly photo source: Modu Tour)

Due to the nature of firefly tours, they are not visible with too much light,

so we were asked to refrain from using our phones, and I couldn’t take any firefly photos.

Also, it’s not as close as the photos suggest,

and the number of fireflies wasn’t that high, so it wasn’t super bright.

Only one or two came close to the boat, but even those didn’t stay long ㅜ

Still, we saw a tree similar to a Christmas tree, and it was pretty with its twinkling lights.

The guide said it was a day with not many fireflies, which was a shame ㅠ

We also briefly saw a crocodile living by the river… wow.

Grandis Hotel

Back at the hotel, we had a late-night snack.

The beer was delicious.

Grandis Hotel

And the guide told us

that there’s an arrow on the ceiling in each hotel room.

I looked and found a small one stuck in the corner.

It indicates the direction of prayer for Islamic countries.
