Snorkelling at Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park hand in hand with my husband among all those colourful fish was worth the trip alone.
Private beach at our resort felt like it belonged only to us, softest sand and gentlest waves we have ever shared.
Cool mountain air at Kinabalu National Park was such a nice contrast to the beach heat earlier in the week. The trek up to the canopy walkway is steeper than the itinerary made it sound though.
Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Lumpur works nicely as a route for couples wanting both nature and city. KL felt like a bit of an afterthought though, barely enough time given to it compared to the island.
Five nights and Kota Kinabalu filled every one. The canopy walkway at Kinabalu National Park had my legs trembling the whole way across, but the cool mountain air and the view made each wobble worth it. Ending on the resort's private beach felt like a secret kept just for us.
