The Pampines Villa, Mount Kinabalu

I stayed at the 3 bedroom villa ( 6 adults ) earlier this week.(July2025) What I liked about the resort: 1: it is a new property, only opened in February, so the furnishings are very new. It has a modern look. The bedrooms are big and spacious and each room has its own en-suite shower and separate toilet. It was also very clean. It is truly a luxurious stay but for the hot afternoon sun effects to the interior of villa in the afternoon as there is no air conditioning 2: beautiful surroundings, you can get great photos of Mt KK from this resort. 3: the staff were very quick and polite in answering/ attending to our queries/ issues we had What can be improved: 1: When the afternoon sun hits the front of the villa, it gets very hot inside as there are only thin curtains on the front facade. Despite the fan full blast and windows opened and front door open, it is still very hot. The 2 bedrooms on ground floor ( as they face the back is ok) but the 3rd bedroom on the top floor is really like a sauna,as all the trapped hot air rises and there is a lot of glass panelling in the front of villa. So thick black out curtains or blinds will help. Aircon the top bedroom, as one will only need it for a few hours in the afternoon. 2: Also the side of the sitting room and kitchen where there are windows, there are no blinds or curtains, so at night with lights on, everyone can see into your living room and dining cum kitchen. 3: All the instructions on how to operate the TV and TV box as well as the hot water shower units are in Mandarin. A manual in English would be most helpful for future clients. 4: I really hope the cafe/ restaurant will start operating soon, as this will make it much easier for guests to have their meals here without having to drive out.
