How to choose Magellan Resort in Kota Kinabalu? Personal test and recommendation

Where to go on an island tour from Shanghai? Visa-free 🎫 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia is recommended Air tickets for more than HKD1,000 on holidays💰4-hour direct flight🕗The itinerary of islands, mountains, rainforests, hiking, and sunset watching is diverse✈ However, high-end hotels in Kota Kinabalu are not comparable to mature islands such as Bali, Koh Samui and Phuket 😂 After careful selection, we recommend Magellan Silk Resort 😍The king of cost-effective resort-like hotel At the end of the article, there is a conscientious reminder, remember to save it📕 . 🏨--About living-- 🔸First-tier sea view hotels exclude garden view rooms. Club rooms have good views but no balcony. 🔸If you want value for money, choose a sea view room with a balcony. Get it during holidays💰More than 800 including breakfast 🔸We were allocated a room 6540 with a balcony facing the sea view and swimming pool. The scenery from the balcony is stunning❤ 🔸The room is a bit old, but well maintained and clean. It has a retro electric fan and is full of holiday style. · 🍽--About eating-- 🔸Breakfast is quite rich and ends at 10:30🔚Children under 6 years old are free 🔸SunsetBar by the sea has no low prices, the pizza is good, and the drinks are delicious and not expensive. 🔸The seats for four in the sunset restaurant on the second floor with the best view need to be reserved in advance 🐟 · 🏊--About playing-- 🔸The hotel has 5 swimming pools, with various depths of 0.6 meters, 1.2 meters, and 1.4 meters, as well as children's slides and a 50-meter professional swimming pool🌊 🔸There is a pier in the hotel that can go directly to the nearby island. The price is more expensive than the Jetson Pier. The advantage is that there are fewer people and no need to wait. 🔸You can snorkel without leaving the hotel. There are no less fish than you can see during island hopping. It is recommended to snorkel in the morning to see more fish🤿 🔸Watching the sunset at the hotel is super beautiful, not inferior to Shangri-La on Tanjung Road, with fewer people and exclusive views👍 · 🚗--About us-- 🔸It takes about ten minutes to take a taxi from the airport to the hotel. It is very convenient to take a taxi with the G app✈ 🔸Imago Shopping Mall is right next to it, newer and bigger than Shuguang Plaza👍 · ➰--Tips tips-- ⭕Make key requirements when checking in: King bed room, high floor ⭕Rooms starting with 6 can see the sea view and swimming pool at the same time. Rooms starting with 7 cannot see the swimming pool and are quieter. ⭕Look for the Korean lady at the front desk who can speak Chinese. She is very enthusiastic and will try her best to meet your needs. I observed that she usually comes in the afternoon. ⭕Put white bread crumbs in an empty bottle and the little fish will surround you while snorkeling ⭕Takeaway cannot be delivered to the hotel lobby. You have to pick it up at the entrance of the resort a few hundred meters away. ⭕When you take the towel from the swimming pool, remember to return it and sign it, otherwise it will be detained💰 ⭕Be sure to sit in the first row at SunsetBar 1 hour in advance to watch the beautiful sunset ⭕It’s a few minutes’ walk to the neighboring Pacific Hotel of the same group. The small beach is even better, and there’s also a famous sky bar on the top floor where you can watch the sunset. ⭕If you reserve more than 3 nights in Kota Kinabalu, we recommend Magellan + Hyatt Centric, which is more convenient for citywalking, visiting Mount Kinabalu, and island hopping
