"The scenery is unbelievably beautiful, every photo is a masterpiece. The hotel is huge and the breakfast is delicious. There's also a free shuttle bus to the airport and city center; check the last picture for the schedule. This is the most recommended hotel in Kota Kinabalu! Super value for money! Highly recommended! It's just a bit far from the city center, but you can take a taxi. The hotel's location is a bit secluded, but it doesn't detract from its beauty."

"Very aesthetic looking hotel and tip top services from the hotel. The room were spacious and, the beddings are comfortable. They even provide coffee machine and drip coffee for each room. Location wise also very strategic, around 10min to the airport (I can see airplane flying closeup), and about 15min to famous attractions like Gaya Street etc. The only downside I would say is the breakfast option, they do not serve full buffet like normal hotels. For Rm48, the food choices and quality have to look into."

Mengkabung River cruises, Sabandar Cowboy Town, and Tuaran Crocodile Farm are nearby. Guests enjoy nature walks, cultural experiences, relaxing sunsets, and on-site amenities including our fitness center.

"Rating: 4/5 We had a really pleasant stay at Hilton Garden Inn. The hotel is known for its calm and peaceful nature, and it really delivers on that. Perfect for couples who enjoy quiet and greenery. *What we loved:* - *Rooms & Ambience*: The corridors and rooms were super clean, serene, and well-kept. Beds were very comfortable. - *Facilities*: Toilet, vanity area, and iron board were all nicely set up on day 1. - *Location & Views*: The private beach, sunset views, and wind by the sea were absolutely beautiful. So peaceful. - *Staff*: The staff who attended to us were really nice and tried to help quickly. *Areas to improve:* - *Bathroom drainage*: After showering, the water was stagnant because of uneven flooring. We had to manually push the water out, which was a bit unpleasant. - *Housekeeping*: On the second day, the toilet wasn’t fully cleaned and disposable items like toothbrushes weren’t replenished. We had to call to request them. - *Breakfast*: Good variety overall, but some food was cold/dry and basic condiments like butter were missing. I understand the hotel is under new management so hopefully this gets sorted. - *Room service*: It would help to have 24-hour service as some rooms are quite far. Overall, we really liked the hotel and would recommend it for its peace and views. Just hope management works on the small details above. A quick apology/acknowledgement from staff would also go a long way. Would stay again!"

Sutera @ Mantanani Island Resort & SPA is located in Pulau Mantanani Besar. Take in the views from a terrace and make use of amenities such as complimentary wireless internet access and an arcade/game room. Additional features at this hotel include tour/ticket assistance and a picnic area. A ferry terminal shuttle is available for a surcharge. Make yourself at home. Bathrooms feature showers, complimentary toiletries, and bidets. Conveniences include safes and desks, and housekeeping is provided daily.

"Many of the positive reviews for this place are likely influenced by the free coconut water offered for writing a review upon check-out. Without any incentives, I'll honestly share my experience. 1. **Pros:** The water quality around Mantanani Island is excellent, and the snorkeling and diving offer stunning views. The staff are friendly, and the island scenery is definitely worth experiencing. 2. **Cons:** The island is swarming with tour groups, and there's a constant stream of elderly people and children, so it's not ideal if you're looking for a peaceful atmosphere. We stayed for three nights, paying over 4,000, and were assigned room 27, which was right next to the staff dormitory. The facilities in the room were very old. Additionally, the adjacent room housed different tour guides every day, and we couldn't see the sea at all from our room. For independent travelers paying this price, getting a room like this is truly unsatisfactory."

Overall, the hotel is good, especially because of its convenient location near a shopping mall, making it easy to purchase daily necessities and other items. The breakfast café is spacious and offers a wide variety of food choices. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. While the breakfast selection is extensive, the taste of the food was somewhat disappointing and could be enhanced. In addition, the cleanliness of the room needs more attention. The floor felt dusty, as if it had not been properly swept or vacuumed. Guests who are not comfortable wearing the hotel slippers may notice the dust more easily. With improvements to room cleanliness and food quality, the overall guest experience would be much better.

Extremely satisfied! The lovely lady at the front desk upgraded our room, and her service was fantastic – she even spoke Chinese and answered all our questions. Every time we took a taxi in, they'd check our booking information, which made us feel very safe. The breakfast buffet was also very rich and diverse, and the kids had a great time. The lifeguard at the pool was also very responsible, which gave us peace of mind. The sunset was also beautiful, with few people around, so it wasn't crowded. Highly recommend!

The water in the hotel's area is heavily polluted; it's so dirty that snorkeling is completely out of the question! The front desk staff were very perfunctory with guest requests and didn't follow through on promises. In the morning, we requested a private boat tour for island hopping and snorkeling. We discussed the time and itinerary with the dive center staff and finalized the price with the front desk. We even altered our subsequent travel plans for this. However, by 4 PM, we still hadn't received confirmation. When we called the front desk, they told us they couldn't arrange it. We asked several people, and got different explanations: first they said there were no boats, then that other guests had already been arranged for island hopping, and then that there would be a storm the next day (which turned out to be perfectly calm). I suggest the hotel improve its island hopping service. For those looking to dive, definitely don't consider this hotel! Also, the beach is incredibly tiny, barely palm-sized!

The location is super close to the ferry terminal. Downstairs, right across the street, there's a KFC, Starbucks, and 7-Eleven, which is really convenient. The front desk staff were very patient. The only drawback is that the room is a bit old-fashioned. However, the hotel's exterior looks upscale and grand.

The staff friendliness is just amzing 10/10. Excellent Service.Our room had amazing view of the sea and opposite resort called Gayana. Dinner: Only Buffet option is available and its about RM167/person +taxes. The spread are fairly good and it is delicious. Though they do have 2 more different Restaurant in the island,Japanese and fine dining. Breakfast: Included in the room price. Menu changes daily. I have nothing to complaint about the room,for us its comfortable.All rooms have exactly the dane Designs the only difference is where it is located. You are paying for the view. Activities: For me I think 3 days 2 nights are perfect to spend your time here, swimming by the pool,kayaking,snorkling,Jungle trekking, visiting the private beach. 1 hour complimentary use of snorklinh masks. I like the public guests showers and towel provided.Very convinient. One thing that I would like to comment is the boat fees are relatively very expansive.15 mins speedboat per person one way cost about Rm80+taxes..Just return trip cost RM170++ per person. This is not even including island conservation fees and tourist fees. All this added fees makes the Hotel cost more expansive. Because a boat trip to nearby or same Island cost only Rm40. GAYANA ECO RESORT provided inclusive/complimentary return boat fees. I hope the Management can improve this because we as Guests are going to spend more money on F&B and at the Bar. Last but not least I would like to compliment the service and staffs in thsi Resort I think they did such an amazing job. Overalö the Resort is beautiful andclose to the nature.

The room was quite spacious, and although a bit old, it didn't have any strange odors. The only downsides were the lack of an exhaust fan in the toilet, an old-fashioned hairdryer, and the shower head would inexplicably stop working. The hotel's location is excellent, close to Gaya Street and the seafood market, and the front desk service was quite good. The breakfast variety changed daily, though the staff seemed more attentive to Western guests. The pool is located next to the restaurant on the ground floor.
