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 managed to take a picture of the dishes I missed on the first day lol
The hotel has a rooftop pool, so I went for a morning swim.
There was also a gym on the same floor, but not many machines.
The operating hours are from 8 AM to 8 PM, and it closes between 3-4 PM.
You can rent towels from the cafe on the 1st floor, so please refer to the photo!
There was a hotel under construction in front, and I suspect that once it’s completed, it will be difficult to get an ocean view from Grandis.
Finished swimming thoroughly.
It was nice that there was no one there in the early morning!
The sun was incredibly hot, and the ground was scorching, so make sure to wear shoes…
For lunch, we decided to eat 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 back, the detailed description said ‘[free]’ lol
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 every place tasted like a weak powder mix.
I took the leftover hamburger to go.
Then, I went shopping at Vinci, a famous accessory store in Malaysia!
I only intended to browse, but the bags were so cute and cheap…
I hesitated between two but ended up buying both….
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.
We took a van to C-Spa Massage.
It was located near the Number One Mart we visited yesterday.
It was much better than the massage place we went to yesterday.
It was a 90-minute full-body aroma massage, and it was just the right amount of firm pressure, pleasantly painful?
The owner here is also Korean (I think),
so I think it would be good to make a personal reservation.
(I went again on the last day and highly recommend the foot massage).
After the massage, we headed to Beringgis Restaurant for the sunset and firefly tour.
There’s a small jetty here, and we take a boat to get there.
While waiting, they were selling ice cream, so we each got one.
It was about 12 Ringgit for two.
And this place is a cat paradise…
There were so many, but only this one came out clearly in the photo.
They were angels who didn’t run away and loved to be petted 😭
We took a boat out just a short distance to the sunset tour location!
The river connects to the sea, and it took less than 5 minutes to get there.
However, there was a lot of trash on the beach…
Humans, I’m sorry…
And some selfies.
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…
And the sunset was so beautiful…
Which focus is prettier???? 🤔
We ate too lol
The mini camera’s quality is so frustrating ㅜ I’ll definitely buy a Pro next time…
The sky with the moon was also pretty pink.
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…
We played with a cheesy cat before the firefly tour.

Due to the nature of firefly tours, they are not visible in bright light, so we were asked to refrain from using our phones, and I couldn’t take any photos of the fireflies.
Also, it’s not as close as shown in the pictures, and the number of fireflies wasn’t that high, so it wasn’t very bright.
Only one or two came close to the boat, but even those stopped midway.
Still, we saw a tree similar to a Christmas tree, and it was pretty with its twinkling lights.
The guide mentioned that it wasn’t a good day for fireflies, which was a shame.
We also briefly saw a crocodile living by the river… wow.
Back at the hotel, we had a late-night snack.
The beer was delicious.
And the guide told us that there’s an arrow on the ceiling in every hotel room.
I checked, and there was indeed a small one in the corner.
It indicates the direction of prayer in an Islamic country.
