It is still the covid-19 pandemic but because it was a holiday and there are still the quarantine SOP at home, the decision was to be in Kota Kinabalu. A little special touch in the form of a stay in Casuarina hotel, Tanjung Aru. The staff was positive when it came to the giving of assistance even though more cleanliness and maintenance should be rendered.

Comfortable hotel. Close to the recreational park and the beach. The only downside of this hotel is that it does not have a hose in the toilet for occupants to clean up after the urination.

Not really comfortable, the air conditioner out of gas, the pillows need to be changed. They serve only American breakfast. But the cashier at the kitchen told me that they got fried food such fried rice or fried noddles. The next day I requested for fried noodles (at my own cost), the menu was not available.
