Sea View Hotels in Sabah, Malaysia

The service here is wonderful! The staff are very friendly, and the receptionists are incredibly helpful, making the check-in and stay very smooth. While I enjoyed the hospitality, the breakfast menu was a bit disappointing. It was very basic and lacked any 'standout' dishes that would appeal to tourists. Great service, but the food options need more variety

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.

Had an excellent experience of staycation at Hotel 7 Suria. We requested bed deco for my daughter’s birthday and they did it amazingly ❤️❤️ Very good service from this hotel. Room is spacious with good amenities. Breakfast was ok and good too. Will come here again when we come to KK. Keep up the good job! ❤️

I expected a great hotel stay and they delivered. All the staff were lovely. Thank you for that. My only issue is the lack of room information regarding what is available in the hotel. Normally I would expect marketing information and menus for restarunt and bar in the room. The TV does give room service menu but was not required. Fortunately we found Ben, the Concierge in the lobby who very kindly explained what we asked, and provided a map for the area. Very welcome. Thank you very much.

AMAZING!!!! The staff here! They are so unbelievably friendly and helpful. They truly made me feel so special and welcomed throughout my stay. Especially the ladies at breakfast and the guys at the door. I got the seaview room and that view was breathtaking! Front row seats to that sunset every day! The rooms are very clean and the beds and pillows are extremely comfortable, would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The rooftop bar also has the best view of the sunset in my opinion. Breakfast was great, too- so much choice!

It was my first time to stay at Kota Kinabalu Marriott. The overall stay was amazing! Fast check in/out. Spotless clean, spacious rooms and modern. Great hotel amenities. Memorable sunset view from the rooftop while drinking cocktails and infinity pool. The staff were kind and helpful. The breakfast was super delicious with wide varieties of choices from local to western cuisine. The view of the sea and the island from the balcony were absolutely great! It's located in the centre and nearby supermarkets, restaurants, old town, night markets, malls, money exchange centre and many more. Walking distance too to everything. I will definitely Comaback here again.

Excellent, highly recommended! It comes with a pool and gym, right next to Durian Street, and only 2km from Jesselton Point. Simply fantastic!

The room has cooking facilities, including an induction hob and microwave, making it perfect for a family of three or a couple's getaway. The hotel uses a key card system for elevator access, ensuring great security. Plus, there's a fantastic swimming pool and gym on the 11th floor. It operates like a self-service apartment, so you'll need to contact them via WeChat in advance to arrange key collection, check-in, and check-out.

On Xiaohongshu, everyone said the old Grand Hyatt wasn't good, but the four of us guys think that's complete nonsense. The lounge view is unbeatable, breakfast is delicious, the rooms are clean, and the service is attentive. Plus, they upgraded us directly to a sea-view room! If you're still not satisfied with that, I suggest you just don't stay in hotels.

The Hyatt Centric was a fantastic experience! We arrived at 9 AM and asked the front desk if we could check in early. To our surprise, they had an available room and arranged it right away! After dropping off our luggage, we headed across to Suria Sabah Mall for some 'Ah Yen' and exchanged some Malaysian Ringgit at B1 according to the Alipay exchange rate. It's only 200m from the popular Sutera Harbour, which we visited twice. Gaya Street is also very close, just a 200-300m walk. The environment and service were both excellent. The hotel breakfast was incredible value for money. For a room that cost 800 yuan a night, the breakfast was à la carte, and the service staff spoke Chinese, making communication very easy. The variety of dishes was extensive, including Chinese, Western, Korean, and Southeast Asian options. I highly recommend the Indian bread with curry and the Beef Laksa from the à la carte menu – they were absolutely delicious!
