"The location is actually great. You don't have to keep going to Gaya Street; a taxi ride there is only about 5 minutes and a few dollars. The advantage of this location is that there's no traffic congestion and there's ample space outside. The front desk staff was very welcoming, and check-in was super fast. The view from the room, apart from the river being dirty as some negative reviews mentioned, was fantastic. You can see both the sunset and planes. The room size is generous, perfect for a family with no issues. It comes with a microwave, fridge, and cutlery. Everything was perfect except for the slightly broken showerhead and the not-so-thorough cleaning. The key thing is the excellent soundproofing; plane noise in the room was minimal. The pool looked amazing, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to use it, only to look. Overall, it's great value for money. If you're going to nitpick, you might as well stay home or deal with the crowds at domestic attractions."

"Checked in at the hotel at around 9.30pm. I noticed the air conditiong was kinda hot. But i thought to myself, I’ll give it some time run first. Maybe it’ll get better soon. Then an hour later, it was still hot, so i called operator, and she said she will send someone to our room. Waited about 30 minutes or more, still nobody came. I called the second time, and she said she’ll get someone to our room again. And that’s it, nobody came to our room, to help us with the air conditioning. And we were to tired to wait already. So My 8 month old baby sleept sweating that night and i had to fan him with the note book that they put beside the bed. Upon checkout, I complained to the receptionist and the manager about the incident, and they checked on their system that the issue had been resolved. Which was abvioustly a lie. So the manager said he will investigate the matter and he promised something to me. So i hope he keep his words. I’m a regular here, so i know there was something wrong with the air conditioning. I know the quality of the hotel. So let’s see wether the manager is serious about his words."

"This hotel absolutely blew my expectations out of the water! Both the location and the accommodations were superb. It's strategically located on a corner, directly across the street from the jetty, making it incredibly convenient for island-hopping excursions. We spent four days island hopping, and I must say, the two captains, especially for the mangrove and outer island tours, were absolutely hilarious, witty, and very responsible. The hotel is within easy walking distance of Gaya Street, Durian Street, and the Central Seafood Market, which was extremely convenient. Gaya Street also hosts a night market every Friday and Sunday, perfect for a leisurely stroll and sampling delicious street food. Diagonally opposite the hotel, there's a large shopping mall and a duty-free store. My only minor disappointment was that our three families were staying together. The room rates only differed by less than fifty (currency implied), but because I was with my son, I booked a twin room. It turned out to be quite small, whereas the other two families booked king rooms that even came with a living area! I was so incredibly jealous and felt it was a bit unfair! o(╥╥)o However, that didn't really impact our overall experience, and we still had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel also boasts an outdoor rooftop pool on the 25th floor. The elevators require a room key card to operate and only grant access to your assigned floor, which provided a great sense of security!"

"The check-in experience is great. The Luma Hotel team are all very friendly. Parking is available right at the entrance of the hotel for a fee of RM30 per day. They provided cold towel and welcome drink to help me freshen up after my long drive from Kundasang. The room is clean and spacious. You can view the bathtub from the bed if you open up the panels. This is great for those with kids and want to monitor them from the comfort of your bed. There is no swimming pool but this is understandable for the size of the hotel.

"Location near Waterfront. We booked seaview room great view of the sea & sunset. Our room is huge with kitchenette. Bathroom is huge too but cleanliness of the room is below par. There's oily stains on the main door that were never cleaned. We stayed 4 nights, the oily stains were still there when we left. For 4 stars hotel it's a shame the hotel cannot even provide a shampoo holder in the bathroom for guests. It was very troublesome to squat down every time to get the shampoo or shower gel when we shower. Also the drainage of the bathroom needs to be fixed. It smells terribly."

The check-in guide was detailed, and the owner couple and Miss ST were all incredibly friendly. We checked in past midnight, and they thoughtfully left a light on for us in the living room. Throughout our stay, and even after we checked out and moved to another hotel, any questions we had were answered instantly. The private guide and instructor they recommended was absolutely fantastic. He was attentive and considerate, very witty and even performed some magic tricks. His photography skills were exceptional!

"Real review, checked out on August 19th. Pros: 1. Great location, perfect for the city walk. 2. Excellent service from the host and housekeeper. Proactively addressed any issues and responded promptly to messages. 3. Two bedrooms and one living room, perfect for two adults and two children. Cons: Constant 24/7 noise. This apartment is right next to the elevator of the neighboring hotel. The elevator goes up and down, doors open and close, and the rumbling noise is constant. If you can't stand noise, be careful about booking this room. I happened to be taking melatonin with me, otherwise I wouldn't know how I would have gotten through those few nights... The noise isn't the host's fault. They've actively tried to communicate with the neighboring hotel, but to no avail, so that's it."

FFatyNur⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️first, We have to contact the owner 48h prior to check-in. Deposit rm400 before check in. Nice and cozy studio… beautiful and clean modern studio.. nice view to the ocean, and below is psar besar KK.. got many eateries below and nearby the room, got numerous choice too. Imago mall by walking distance. Nice pool. Nice ambiance. Unfortunately, we coming on rainy season, and failed to capture the sunset view as its cloudy. 🥹 Good customer service, reply any msg in short time. Just got to take the access card given by staff and key in the password at the secured door. Nice experience tho Once we entered the house, smells good, the staff already open the light, and aircond, plays nice and cozy music on utube.. got microwave and washer and dryer too… easy to use.. niceee ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I booked for my husband birthday vacation♥️ Got fan and fridge, water heater, iron and board, hair dryer, sabah tea and le minerale.. provided clothes hanger and suspension, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner..… Got Sweet token from the owner🥰 The shore got multiple other luxury choice of room to rent, but i choose Seaview Bliss as suitable for me as a couple and as the memorable gift for my beloved ones. And it got way better and cozy modern ID.. the real view is the same as the picture provided🤭 It worth every penny⭐️mybe a bit pricey 🥲 but yeah, tq Seaview bliss team⭐️

SSChieh LimOne of our best experience. Best part about Manukan Sutera lodge 1) very helpful and friendly staff. 2) i booked 2 rooms. They gave me adjoining room. Super helpful for family with kids. 3) very spacious rooms. 4) sunset viewpoint is a big plus. U get the see the beautiful sunset. But have to walk 1.5km to and another 1.5km back. 5) private beach is helpful for guests so that we don't have to share the public beach with the rest of the visitors. U get to see more fish and corals because fewer tourists to scare away the fish 6) free rental snorkeling equipment. 7) delicious and sumptuous breakfast. 8) easy boat transport. Free overnightt parking at sutera marina club. Disadvantages 1) no data signal or wifi in the room.have to go to reception for wifi or data signal. 2) dinner is slightly more expensive because there is only 1 restaurant, so no other choices. But food is delicious, even for the fried rice (see pic)

AAnonymous UserI recently stayed at Nexus Resort & Spa Karambunai, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The cleanliness of the rooms and common areas was well-maintained, making our stay comfortable and relaxing. The location, however, is quite isolated, as the resort is located in Karambunai Peninsula, about 30–40 minutes from Kota Kinabalu city. It’s perfect if you want a peaceful escape by the beach, but not so convenient if you’re looking to explore the city or find nearby restaurants—options outside the resort are very limited and quite far. The service was excellent, with very friendly and helpful staff who always greeted us warmly and tried their best to accommodate our requests. However, I noticed that the resort has become quite crowded lately, likely due to the recovery period after COVID-19 when businesses are starting to pick up again. Some areas are still under renovation, and it was clear they are in the midst of improving their facilities. The amenities were good, with a beautiful beach, swimming pools, spa services, and recreational activities that kept us entertained throughout our stay. Overall, Nexus Karambunai is a lovely place for a peaceful beach vacation, but be prepared for the distance from town and the current renovation works. Hopefully, once the recovery process is complete, the resort will be even better.

ZZara.Mell1 Night stay only 10 pm to 4 am, need to catch early flight. Upon checking in, had room issues as the receptionist (local male) said full twin bed room since we arrived late. I insist i already mention it and requested a twin bed room only. It takes about 10-20 minute to wait as he give a room key of twin bed. Turn out it was not full actually🫣 idk. So problem SOLVED👌. Location was superb. By grab to night market Rm 9 and from night market back to hotel on foot 7k steps 😛.
