Hello - I went to Rasa Ria back in October and it is still run down...I wasn't very happy with my stay there. Tanjung Aru, I heard, is much better and there are more things to do as well.

I was probably responsible for the comment about the Rasa Ria being a little run down or tired, following our stay there last June. I was at the Tanjung Aru a month or so ago and would say that the rooms feel newer (or at least the bathrooms, which were not great at the Rasa Ria). Having said that, the beach at the Tanjung Aru is smaller than at the Rasa Ria and a large part of the waterfront is a boardwalk. I did not take part in many activities at the Tanjung Aru, but would be surprised if there were more things to do there than at the Rasa Ria, which has pools, large gardens, enormous beach, nature reserve, orang-utans, many watersports, golf course, spa, various restaurants, etc. We loved the sea at the Rasa Ria, after Hong Kong any beach seems clean. Did not notice any sandflies, but am not sure what time of year they come out.
Some friends of ours went to the Nexus and had a good time, without providing much detail. Sounds like you have three pretty good options.

We were at Nexus over the Chinese New Year holidays. It was fantastic! The beach is beautiful and the pools were great. The room was clean and the food was OK. My boys (aged 4 and 6) enjoyed rolling in the sand and swimming. They have a great golf course too if you are into golfing. We also did banana boat ride, kayak, paddle book and at a nearby water lagoon. We paid RM80 for adults and RM45 for kids and had unlimited use of the water rides and did some batik painting. It was a perfect family vacation. Everyday was sunny and skies were very blue! Hope you enjoy it. I highly recommend the Saturday nite BBQ on the beach. My husband and I had that while the kids had pizza and TV in the room. Hope this helps.

yup i'd stay at either nexus or rasa.
if you stay at rasa, call ahead and confirm room type, ie, newer room, as i think they have done half refurb. old rooms are yuk.
same for tanjung aru, not a very nice beach, but you can get a boat out to the islands which are really nice.
also there ask for nice rooms.
tanjung will have kids.
rasa will have kids.
nexus will have kids.
but rasa and nexus are bigger so kids don't seem to be in your face all the time.

just don't forget that nexus is a looooooong way from the city, but not much in the city to look at anyway.

The Nexus is a sprawling place with a wide beachfront. The facilities are well maintained and its great value for money.
Its highly recommended
