Jessycarcher: Sunset Bar and Infinity pool @ Tanjung Aru (KK) by Shangri-La

Have been on hiatus ( as you can see the last was few weeks ago ) because obviously not only for me but for everyone at the beginning of year is always the hectic first quarter you can hardly breath or escape from job. Well for this, no long story, not lot of words. I'll just highlight the most important parts that might be useful for anyone who wanted to find out more about this place.
And this is my first time going to KK.
The only two reasons me flying to Tanjung Aru Resort by Shangri-La (Kota Kinabalu) are:

1) The infinity pool
2) Sun set bar

The two unique selling points of the resort.
It was supposed to be another solo trip but then good things are meant to be shared so i jio another girlfriend of mine ( then she jio her friend so ended up three of us ) decided to escape from the hectic city for a while to see if this place as amazing as how the website describes.

Ok now, look at the infinity pool that i took with my camera.
The wind is too strong for people to enjoy the beach walk, sun tanning, swim, and to enjoy wearing bikini. Don't believe? try taking off your slippers and lie completely horizontal with the coolest shades you brought on the beach chair for a few seconds, your slippers confirm fly away.

The famous infinity pool taken on my camera. Awesome.

Second, Sun set bar.

The spectacular sea and sunset view with acoustic live band!

Operating hours : 11am - 11pm

Happy hours: 3pm - 5.30 pm then 7pm to 11pm (buy one free one for certain beverages)

Me : Hello i would like to reserve a table for 3 people at 5.30pm in your bar.

Him: Uhm....sorry ma'am our bar is first come first serve basis, you can definitely get a table if you come at around 4pm.

Me : It's too early for me what about if i come around 5pm?

Him: Sorry ma'am the busiest hours normally will be around 5 onwards i just afraid you can get a seat when you arrive....and if you want to reserve a table we will collect RM200 from you for the reservation fee and this is non-refundable.

The highlights :

GO find a seat around 4, ( plenty of seats for you to choose ) if you don't want to end up with no table or a worse spot for sunset.

Reservation fee will be RM200 if you want to reserve a table in sunset bar.

Last thing, staffs there are extremely friendly.

Prices are above average ( as expected ). Finger foods, champagnes, wines, beers, mocktails, softdrinks and juices, Gin and Vodkas, Whiskeys, Long/Short/Vintage/Connoisseurs drinks are all available at here. Are you an alcoholic? This place confirm feels like heaven to you.

Make sure you bring at least 100, ok lah, 100 is quite enough for 2 persons otherwise confirm jialat like myself. It's okay. We can still use credit card instead. Cheh...show off..LOL

That outfit for the evening. I didn't bring lotsa clothes and all thanks to Wawah for those cute tops.

Just an idea on the pricing

Sausages. How much? Take a wild guess.

A whopping 34 for such portion. Couldn't believe the prices this bar had the nerve to charge lol.

Waiting for the sunset

Romantic siol

That's me posing for the photo.

Look at the coconut tree, imagine how strong the wind was.

That's me and Ann.

Quite epic. Just realized she was standing on her toes for the photo. LOL

The first time we meet and become good friends instantly. And i love her. She is sweet, awesome, good sense of humor, most importantly, single and available. Grab it while it's hot!
