Absolutely Perfect”

Booked a hillside lodge for two nights. Absolutely blown away by this beautiful little Island. From the transfer across in the boat to welcome greeting on the pier we were made to feel like royalty. We travel a lot and stay in wonderful hotels but the villa exceeded our expectations...as did the service we received. Immaculately clean, soft music and candles to greet us when we entered our lodge. The view was spectacular, the bed was so comfy ..not to mention those pillows...where did they find the.! The food in the resteraunt was lovely and the breakfast was wonderful. Lovely private beach and very peaceful, especially in the evening when day trippers have left. We loved this and hope to visit again...and back to Lodge 15. Only thing that would have enhanced our stay would have been massage service to allow indulging a little bit more. Special mention to all the staff on the Island who go out there way to ensure your stay is nothing short of perfection

Excellent Service from staff and comfy rooms”

The views was amazing from the rooms but there are a lot of stairs for some people who are scared of heights better get rooms that is not on the hillside. Service was excellent from staff. Our only feedback is based on the fees Sabah park charges they should clean the beach. The beach was very dirty. I see locals collecting rubbish from the beach when its not their job. Kiddos to that visitor. Biggest contributor to rubbish and coral destruction are visitors from China. Should also have more netted rubbish bin similar to Koh Lipe.

Best customer service and beautiful island”

I’m very much happy with Sutera team they are wonderful people! Great place, excellent customer service .. value for money ... special thanks to F&B manager Khairul, and his team members Egi and Stella you people are awesome!!!! Humble request to the public, please keep the island clean do not litter .. sad to see rubbish floating around the beach area .. Overall great place and people !!!

exceeded expectations!”

The island and the beach is absolutely stunning. Clear crystal blue sea with schools of fishes, sandy white clean beach. Stayed at beach suite; room was spacious, nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. Both sunset and sunrise is something you should really look forward too, it’s magical. Hotel staff goes above and beyond, helpful and friendly. Food is great and delicious! Got serenade during dinner was cherry on top! Will be coming back for sure.

Beautiful holiday ”

I can’t say enough about the place or the staff one of the best holidays we have had so far. Food excellent, staff made our stay so comfortable special mention of Adamz and Ben who went out of their way to make sure we had a great time in the island n also suggested what else we could do beyond Manukan.would definitely recommend others to try this beautiful island, and resort for a wonderful holiday

Awesomeness Loaded”

I am very delighted to have stayed here. The Lodges are superb and spot on all aspects. The staffs were amazing. They assisted all the way. The private beach for the in house guest was very nice. I liked it a lot. We will surely come again for a relaxing stay. The music band playing table to table was very entertaining. The Sand Bar team was good. Able to create an awesome cocktail. The movie by the beach is a great idea. The food at the Perahu Restaurant was nice. Well keep up the great Job..

Nice and pleasant stay!”

First of all, people from Sabah are so nice and friendly. The staffs are extremely helpful and nice. We stayed one night, so after the activity, we had the seafood steamboat for dinner. The next day morning, we walked around and the view is awesome. Then we had our breakfast and get ready to leave. Some people just came for the island hopping, but if you are not in a rush and would like to stay for a night, this is definitely a nice place to stay. :)

The best island getaway from KK”

Blown away by the service,staff and cleanliness. Can see that a lot of effort has been put to manage and upkeep the place. Kudos to the staff. Love the breakfast! Could have better signage for Sutera Harbour Marina pickup.

Excellent Location Friendly Staff”

A short 20 min boat ride from Jesselton Point. Beautiful resort. Busy during the day with day trippers. But you have the island all by yourself at night. Staff like Azlan, Pang, Redzuan, Eva and Ben are ready to help at the drop of the pin. They are friendly and there to make your stay special. Take a hike to the sunset point within the resort. The views make you feel like you own the heaven and earth. You dont have the crowds in other place.

Good resort in Manukan Island ”

Everything about the resort was perfect, from the staff, to the room cleanliness, to facilities. If you are looking for a tranquil getaway from Kota Kinabalu, this is the place to be. The only sad thing about the island is that there seems to be a lot of trash in the sea and all around the beaches.

Exceptional”

Hi, I can't ask more about this place. it's wow me actually, this place like a paradise to me. i love every thing about it. the water is so crystal clear, white sand beach and clean. The staff was very friendly and make you feel welcome. I would definitely come back here again and recommend to friends.

Best weekend trip just with my mum”

It was the best trip I had with my mom for the weekend. Had a great bbq dinner cooked in front of us and served personally by the chef. Stayed overnight and I had to say the best activity was trekking to the sunset point, even better than swimming . The view was oh, so stunning ! We were so lucky that we managed to catch sight of sharks around the jetty in the morning.

Best island stay-in option”

Firstly, the staff are very, very helpful. They will assist u from the moment you step on the island until u leave it. They also brief u well about the island facilities, activities. Suite is very clean. Highly suggested if u wish to enjoy the nightly sea breeze.

It was a lovely experience”

We booked for Beach Villa but when we arrived, we were told that our room was not available anymore and they needed to change the room for us. Turns out our room was upgraded to the Hillside Villa which was far better than what we have booked and far more expensive. We had such a great time there. The island was quiet and private at the area where we stayed so it made the experience more personal and fun. The staff were also very helpful and friendly. Thank you.

Great holiday for getaway”

This is a last minutes plan since we booked an apartment buy get cencelled at very last minutes. We no plan for island holiday. But we glad we did this. Staff is friendly and the villa is big. Nobody at the island since almost covid lockdown. Good for 2 days holidays since nothing much you can do here except dip in the sea and look at the beautiful forest. Great stay!

A Heaven on the Earth”

I have been to Manukan on day tours on several occasions. It was fun-filled day tour only. This time on the eve of the Christmas, the lodge was within my effort (normally it is bit costly). Believe me or not, everyone should try a night stay there. Its outlook is completely different. It was so serene and heavenly I cannot explain in my words. I am planning a 2 nights stay tour in near future (will wait for the price to be within my reach :))

Awesome trip”

Pro: friendly and helpful staff, got it from agoda at value price. Hillside villa sea view was absolutely wonderful. The layout was really nice and felt like home. Con: the jacuzzi water pressure was slow. Ceiling fan was quite noisy. So just use the aircon. Restaurant menu is pricy as expected. May skip the Sunset point. One night stay is not enough..will return..

Snorkel in front of your beach chalet ”

Our family had a wonderful time ! Situated only 30mins away fm KKIA to the 2nd largest island in the marine park. The beach chalets are well appointed, spacious & comfortable and you can snorkel right in front (weather permitting with lots of fishes and corals) however, do protect yourself from the sand flies on the beach and try to snorkel earlier in the day or late afternoon before/after all the day trippers arrive/leave the island. As the only resort on the island you have only one restaurant on the island for your evening meals. Staff are welcoming. Peaceful and quiet not for the adrenaline junkie looking for noisy beach activities. There was a jungle trek but the trail was closed due to fallen trees.

Wonderful hotel”

Had a wonderful stay! The staff were incredibly polite and friendly. The restaurant food was very good (particularly the BBQ) and very big portions! Great value for money. The room was lovely and clean and the private beach area was clean and always had sun beds free. There was lots of coral and fish to see when snorkelling. The jungle and sunset walks were also very pleasant with lots of monitor lizards and birds to see. I would recommend this hotel and would return if I am ever back in Kota Kinabalu.
