No, it is no FOC. I did ask for the break down of charges for the activities if I were to book under bed and breakfast. The total cost is more when compared to booking their featured offers. I took the X-Dream package. The selected activities offered in the package is FOC for kids under the age of 8 (either 8 or 10 I can't exactly remember). I choose half day Island Cruise (my kids FOC) and 1.5 hour of ATV Safari (kids not allowed). The horse ride, I paid for it but cannot remember the exact charges.
Please do note of the difference between Shangrila Rasa Ria and Shangrila Tanjung Aru. I stayed in the Shangrila Rasa Ria out of KK town. -
Thank you for your assistance.. was thinking which SHang to book as my kids are sand fly magnets.. this info will be so useful for me..

has anyone gone there recently? any updates?

erm, I went in October last year, it's quite fun. n we plan to go again next March holidays.. We stayed at Shangrila Tanjung aru.. very good service, we took the standard rooms.. but they made up the sofa bed for our kids, breakfast was fantastic.. there were activities for adults n children.. very good resort.. In fact we plan to stay there again if the current renovations are completed by March.

I was there just last month (Aug), with wife and 5 year old kid.
Stayed at Pacific Sutera Harbour for 2 nights. Island hopping was easy with the jetty just next to the resort... my boy enjoyed the snorkelling experience very much and the close encounters with the fishes... He also loved the pools with nice landscaping and slides at the resort.
Overall, it was a good getaway with plentiful of activities. We did day trips to KK park and Klias Wetland's River Safari (river cruise to see fireflies and proboscis monkeys).
Food was great with the seafood at Ocean Restaurant and Secko & local laksa, noodles and bah kah tea..
Recommended esp with cheap airfares via budget airlines! -
I am planning to bring my 3 children to KK this coming Dec. However, my friends told me Dec is monsoon and raining season so it’s not advisable to go. Is it true?
Has anyone stayed at Seamaiden before? The unit has 3 bedrooms and charge at RM400, big enough for my family of 5. -

Just came back from KK last week. Doesn’t seem like the monsoon season to me. We had fine weather in the morning, and like our local weather, the sky changes and tended to rain in the late afternoon and evening. The rain doesn’t last very long. It may rain more in the highlands, especially on the way to Kinabalu Park and Poring Hot Springs.
