Really enjoyed our stay here. Location is great, there’s a 24h mart next door, 15mins from the airport, 8mins away from tanjung aru beach. The front desk is very friendly and are always willing to help out when we had any issue.

Very well located place, just next to jesselton harbor and Gaya Street. We had a problem in the first day because hour apartment with double bed wasn't available and we need to stay the first night in an apartment with twin beds and without wash machine (which was included on apartment booked). From second night we could move to the apartment booked. It was clean but is old and not so wellantained, the place also don't have enough equipments (we needed to ask for pan and pots, since the only one provided was unable to use, also wasn't provide enough cutlery). But the place is near to the most attractions by walking distance and have the essentials to stay for a short time.

Came here specifically for the 'Hilton' name, haha. When traveling, it's always better to stick with brands you're familiar with. The room was decent, nothing spectacular but perfectly fine. Breakfast had a good variety of options, and there was even a server who showed you to your table. As for the location, it's right next to a famous internet-famous restaurant, but as an introvert, I didn't bother waiting in line. Guess I'll save that for my next visit, haha.

I didn't like the bathroom design; the shower door would hit the bathmat when opening and closing, which was quite impractical. Everything else was fine, and breakfast was decent. The young man who checked me in at the front desk was very nice, but later when I went to retrieve my luggage late at night, another staff member was quite cold. Thanks to the staff member who helped me with both check-in and check-out, I appreciate it.

The room was quite spacious and the location was great, right in the city by the sea. There's a seafood market directly opposite. It's about a fifteen-minute walk to Gaya Street and very convenient to get to the pier. A taxi ride takes around ten minutes, and the airport is also quite close. The front desk was very responsive, and the breakfast was decent. I even caught a stunning sunset from the hotel rooftop!

The hotel was very clean, with no unpleasant odors. I especially liked the fresh scent in the hallways. Most importantly, the bathroom was clean. Overall, I was very comfortable and satisfied. The downstairs restaurant (Quarter) food also very nice.

Our aircond was so warm the night we checked in. It was around 2am. I called the front desk to complain. The technician came to assist us immediately even in late night. He was so professional and the aircon worked perfectly after that. I would highly recommend this hotel for their excellent service and comfortable room. The hotel is next to Water front for great evening sunset beer.

The hotel's location is excellent, right on Gaya Street, making it super convenient for food, drinks, and exploring the Gaya Street Sunday night market. It's also close to the waterfront market, though we didn't visit the seafood market. Getting to Jesselton Point for island hopping is very easy from here. The only downside is that Tanjung Aru Beach is a bit far and traffic can be an issue when taking a taxi. I paid an extra 100 to book a sea-view room, and it was totally worth it – I could watch the sunrise and morning glow from bed. The room was also very spacious, the bed was comfortable, and overall, it offers great value for money!
Waiting for the boat at the pier, the staff member was really nice. He brought us chairs to sit on and even offered us water. Although I didn't catch his name, I really want to thank him!
Upon arrival, the front desk was already there to greet us. Honestly, if your English isn't great, communication on the island can be a bit challenging, for instance, regarding the shower water, Wi-Fi, or power outages. They explained everything in great detail, and the next day, they even followed up to ask about the hot water – they truly care about guest satisfaction. Oh, and they upgraded us to a high-floor villa! We encountered two geckos and a small snake in the room, but the kids weren't scared at all because they knew they were harmless creatures. A super-sized cockroach crawled out of the drain in the bathroom, haha, my child watched it for ages. To be honest, considering it's in the mountains, maintaining it to this standard is quite impressive. It was a great experience, far from the city's hustle and bustle, allowing us to enjoy the charm of the ocean and the forest.
We stayed in a high-floor villa and ordered room service for dinner. The delivery staff worked so hard, carrying the trays all the way to our room, and the food was still surprisingly hot, which really touched us. We gave them a small tip as a token of our appreciation for their efforts.

Very Good
I particularly love the location, 15 mins' ride to airport and 10 mins' ride to the city centre. The area of the resort is large, next to the sea, with quite some water or other kids activities available. We didn't try the pools but look nice. Breakfast has a wide variety with something different each day. The hotel is a bit aged and torn. Cleanliness inside the room and common areas (carpets) should be better.
We stayed 2 nights and had a fantastic stay despite the bad weather on the first day. We received great services from the resort management team Mr Karl, Ms Siti, Mdm Lydia also from the restaurant and recreational team members. We look forward to be back again! Booked the family suite that is beautifully furnished and got a fantastic view of Mt Kinabalu from the room as well as variety of fishes swimming below us. Snorkelling and kayaking are complimentary for the entire day and was great way for us to explore the beautiful waters. On the last day, we unfortunately left our tablet in the room and we were notified immediately upon arrival at the jetty and the resort arranged it to be delivered to their jetty office within the same afternoon. Overall it was a great experience and the welcoming and departure greetings by the management team were certainly memorable and beyond our expectations!
The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was suitable for a family and for those who prefer to relax. The view from our room was fascinating and breathtaking. Their food is super tasty. We only need 5 to 10 minutes to access food places and a trip package to Pasar Semporna. We will book this hotel again once we come back to Semporna.
Not as good as my expectations of 5 stars of shangri la hotel, but still in great value and services consider the price is much cheaper. I came with my family including 2 kids at 6 and 8, they love the game area and swimming pools with water slides. Because of 2 nights stay in the wet seasons in September. especially after 5pm, a tropical rainfall so that I didn't get any chance to see sunset in the beaches. The beaches are not really good condition of sand quality. I enjoyed the morning hiking trip to the nearby hills and also the walk in the beach. Many wildlife and calm of the days.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable island getaway Our stay at Sutera @ Mantanani was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and breathtaking views of crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed to blend with the natural beauty of the island. Waking up to the sound of the sea was truly refreshing. The food was delicious, with a good variety, and we appreciated the care taken in every meal. What stood out the most was the staff friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The snorkeling experience was unforgettable, with vibrant marine life just steps away from the resort. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from city life and a chance to reconnect with nature, Sutera @ Mantanani is the perfect choice. We left with wonderful memories and would definitely love to return. Highly recommended! 🌊🌴
I recently stayed at Hyatt Regency Kinabalu and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, making it very convenient to explore the city. My room offered a stunning sea view, and watching the beautiful sunset from the comfort of the room was truly unforgettable. The environment was relaxing, clean, and well maintained, creating a pleasant atmosphere throughout the stay. One highlight was the superb Japanese food, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Overall, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu delivered comfort, great views, and excellent dining.
As a business traveller, I had a solid stay at Marriott Kota Kinabalu. The sunset view over the waterfront is a real highlight. Rooms were clean and comfortable, with great amenities that made work and rest easy. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. Convenient location and professional service overall. I also manage to do some fishing just at the waterfront.
Away from the city, wrapped in calm Quiet, private, and mostly visited by guests from Korea and China. Truly love this place highly recommended for privacy lovers. Definitely I will come again..thank you Karambunai Resort.
