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

Stayed at the Empire recently. It's all very impressive, with the gold everywhere, but just a bit over-the-top bling. 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

There is so much you can do. This hotel boasts for its beaches, swimming pools, grand movie theatre, spa, courts, absolutely breathtaking views, classy restaurants and tip top service. No matter how deep I look, there is nothing bad I can say about this hotel. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well equipped (then again, I guess they could update... More

This hotel is absolutely breathtaking. It is massive with the most beautifully appointed rooms. Everyone should visit this beautiful place and staying here is a must....Rooms are extremely comfortable and huge. Soft drinks are free in mini bar. The pools are glorious and you sometimes feel that you are the only person there. Great swim up bar with non alcoholic... 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

Magnificent architecture and great rooms. Plenty of choices for good food with at least four main restaurants and prices not too expensive. Very respectful and friendly staff. Quiet rooms and plenty of room to relax without being disturbed. Main pool still being refurbished but progressing rapidly but other pools available. More
