## Frequently asked questions

### What is the best area to stay in Sabah?

> Kota Kinabalu is the capital city and the main gateway to Sabah. The city centre is very walkable, with a mix of modern shopping malls, local markets, and a lively waterfront promenade. Key streets like Gaya Street are known for their Sunday Market and a wide array of eateries. Many hotels offer views of the South China Sea and nearby islands.
> 
>   
> For couples, the waterfront hotels in Kota Kinabalu city centre offer convenience and lovely sea views. You're within easy reach of sunset cruises, seafood restaurants, and the Jesselton Point ferry terminal for island hopping to places like Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. It's an ideal base for exploring both the city and its natural surroundings.
> 
>   
> Families often find the resorts along the coast just outside the city centre to be an excellent option. These resorts typically provide spacious accommodation, multiple swimming pools, and direct beach access.

### When is the best time to go to Sabah?

> During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and lower humidity, making it ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking Mount Kinabalu or exploring the Kinabatangan River. The seas are generally calmer, which is superb for diving and snorkelling trips around islands like Sipadan.
> 
>   
> For those interested in wildlife, the dry season increases your chances of spotting orangutans, proboscis monkeys, and various bird species as they are more active and easier to observe. This period is particularly good for families looking for comfortable conditions for jungle treks and beach outings.
> 
>   
> While November to February is the monsoon season, it doesn't mean constant rain. Showers can be heavy but often short-lived, and you might find fewer tourists and lower prices.
