Stayed in a city view room at Sheraton Kota Kinabalu, but was pleasantly surprised to still catch a glimpse of the perfect blue sea and even spot speedboats from the window—such a nice bonus!
My kid absolutely loved the swimming pool on the 23rd floor. The cool breeze and 360-degree view of Kota Kinabalu made it extra special. The gym also comes with a great view, which makes working out a lot more enjoyable.
Buffet breakfast on the 5th floor was just nice, available from 6:30am to 10:30am—perfect timing to start the day with a relaxed morning.
I also want to give a big kudos to the housekeeping team—I accidentally left some belongings behind, and they carefully packed everything for me to collect.
Overall, a wonderful and memorable stay. Would definitely come back again.

The room was clean and decorated in a simple yet elegant style, with a touch of British charm. You could tell it's an older building with some history. The room facilities were a bit dated, and the air conditioning was quite noisy. There were many Korean guests, and the breakfast had some local characteristics, leaning towards a Korean style.

Cons: The room was small, and the facilities were old and dated. The duvet and pillowcases were yellowish.
Pros: It's very convenient for going out and dining, and there's a laundromat not far away. The front desk can also store luggage.

I booked through Trip.com and already paid the 10 MYR tourism tax, but the hotel still asked me to pay it again. They only dropped it after I showed them my booking confirmation. Everyone, please be careful not to get scammed! I've stayed in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Kota Kinabalu for two days each, and this was the first time I was asked to pay a tourism tax.
The beds are a bit small at one meter, so it was a tight squeeze for a family of four. However, the hotel's location is convenient, and it shares a pool with The Magellan, which is only a ten-minute walk away. That's a great perk, considering The Magellan's rooms are about 300 MYR more expensive.
The hotel's own beach and pool are pretty good and kept the kids entertained.
It was a good stay, shops and restaurants are nearby. You can even walk if you want to enjoy the Chester Night Market.
The room were quite spacious, the interior quite been upgraded but the bed were quite small compared to nowadays queen-size bed. The furniture seems old but well maintained.
Just for the amenities, the iron seems cheap, it even made scary electric sounds once connected to the power source. Even when I requested new one, it same. Maybe can provide a better quality of iron and just put one terminal for each floor.

Facilities: This was a highly anticipated trip, and the facilities were complete and well-equipped. The garden had lounge chairs and tables, and there was a dedicated resting area for guests with early/late flights.
Cleanliness: The room was cleaned daily, and supplies were replenished promptly. The bottled water provided was large capacity, and you could ask staff for more if needed! This was a very thoughtful touch.
Environment: The sunset was incredibly beautiful! There's a hotel-specific floating platform in the sea for paddleboarders to rest and enjoy the sunset, which is definitely worth it! 👍👍👍
Service: For breakfast in the restaurant, you need to ask the staff to help you find a table; you can't just seat yourself. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options, and the ambiance is great in both.
The rooms, renovated in '25, were a great experience. The bathroom facilities were comfortable to use. The hotel grounds are huge, with lots of sports facilities. I stayed at the hotel for two days and didn't even need to leave to have fun. I enjoyed the sea breeze by the ocean, saw all sorts of animals in the park, and played some tennis. My only regret is that I couldn't book a golf lesson this time, but I'll definitely come back for it!
Easy stay close to airport. We had a few days of intense travel and little sleep so we booked 1 night here to get a decent rest and our wish was granted! Super clean and comfortable with good AC, wifi and hot shower. Breakfast was good too in morning. Would recommend!
“Had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect for sightseeing, and the hotel staff made us feel at home. Rooms were clean, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed. I highly recommend it!”
Very Good

Great
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! 🌊🌴
Thank you for providing an all-in-one environment for busy professionals like me. A place where I can work, meeting old friends, and at the same time allow my 3 boys to enjoy themselves safely. The availability of both a swimming pool and a small beach, with lifeguards on duty, gave me peace of mind throughout the day. the room was also clean and convinient for us also to enjoy beautiful morning sunrise. I was able to continue my work comfortably, spending time reading and writing on my laptop by the pool, surrounded by beautiful seaside scenery while watching my son playing. The experience was further enhanced by the availability of good food at the restaurant despite busy with customer, waitress e.g Ms Shamira and all were very helpful. Added with relaxing drinks in the evening while listening to live band performances, and quiet moments of healing by the beach, resting on the sofa with the sound of the sea. The staff were friendly and helpful, e.g Mr Alex and the team, who made our stay even more pleasant. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to come again.
Had a wonderful Christmas Eve stay here. I stayed in a golf field view room, which was incredibly peaceful and calming. Even with the golf field view, I could still see parts of the ocean, and the sunset was absolutely beautiful. I spent some time at the pool and was able to enjoy a stunning sunset from there as well, overlooking the pier by the beach — it was truly an amazing view. I ordered room service during my stay and was very impressed with how prompt and friendly the service was. The room was cozy, clean, and very comfortable, and I especially enjoyed relaxing in the bathtub after a long day. Overall, everything felt calm and well taken care of, making it a perfect stay. I would definitely choose to stay here again next time.
This resort is located in a spectacular position on the island. We were blown away by the views from our villa, and the whole experience felt luxury, thanks to all the helpful staff, the air-conditioned waiting room for the speedboat, and the beautiful finishings. It’s also a place to have a good balance of relaxation and activities - we took part in meditation, the nature walk, snorkeling and marine talk which were all at no additional cost. Angel and Dhiv, who hosted our nature walk and marine talk respectively, were friendly, knowledgeable and made their activities very enjoyable. The dinner buffet was impressive with fresh spiced fried chicken and fresh juicy grilled prawns. I also had a banoffee cheesecake that changed my life, credits to the pastry team! We also appreciated the local Malaysian foods available in the breakfast buffet like roti jala and nasi lemak. The private beach’s highlight is the marine center and the coral and turtles it houses - we didn’t have the set lunch there but we’re okay to give it a miss. Our one gripe was unfortunately spotting lizard faeces near the bathroom which was a bit of a mood killer, but the room was otherwise spotless. Would definitely come back here again!
The room was clean and tidy, and the Chinese housekeeper was very nice. The sea water was incredibly clear, and the service exceeded our expectations. It wasn't noisy at all, and it was perfect for taking photos! It truly exceeded our expectations and offered great value for money. We even saw sea turtles, and the facilities were comprehensive. (This is a genuine review, a genuine review)
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.
