The Magellan Sutera Resort, hotel in Kota Kinabalu

Surrounded by landscaped gardens and spacious outdoor pools, The Magellan Sutera Resort features tastefully decorated guest rooms and suites in Kota Kinabalu.

Level of service is currently not at 5 star level. It is promoted as 5 star hotel but level of service is below the expectation for 5 star. Perhaps some training on 5 star service is required for management and staff - reception, house keeping plus restaurant. Quality of food is not 5 star level. I don’t mind paying the price but it must taste good…

    The scenery was beautiful and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. There was an unforeseen issue with our room which they were very good about. The two restaurants were wonderful - the teppanyaki evening was superb and highly recommend. The snorkelling was decent and the kayaking was fun although you can just use the same equipment around the resort without cost.

    The views from our villa of the sea and beach were outstanding. The room had been set up beautifully for our 25th wedding anniversary. Lovely pool which was cleaned daily. Staff were very friendly and always willing to help. Wildlife was present around the resort - monkeys snd monitor lizards.

    Amazing stay at a paradise resort. The only down side was the mosquitoes in the room at night having a feast on you. Please add mosquito net to the beds.

    You really pay for the location. Everything else is way overpriced for what you get. The pool is very nice, even being in the sun until 3PM. Beautiful coral reef just in front of the resort where you can snorkel for free and the jungle is right behind the resort where you can spot several wildlife

    Wonderful staycation, food and rooms! Truly relaxing and bliss. Shoutout to the resort for doing a lot to preserve and refurbish the environment, corals and beaches around the island! The hotel staff were also super accomodating of us being vegetarians and made effort to add extra options to the buffet breakfast which was a very kind gesture!
