According to the manager, North Borneo Paradise manages some 20 apartments in Marina Condo which is situated right smack in downtown Kota Kinabalu (about 20 minutes from KK International Airport), almost sea facing if not for the shopping complex on the city's waterfront.||||With my usual party of six - grandma, grandpa, me and hubby plus the two teenagers - we rented a 3 bedroom self-catering apartment on the sixth floor of Block B2.
