#hotelreview Need an idea about where to stay for your next visit to Sabah Borneo? . Why not try to consider staying at one of the well established resort in Kota Kinabalu and located by the sea!! This Pacific Sutera Resort is located just a few minutes drive from BKI International Aiport and it is half way in between airport and Kota Kinabalu city centre. . Even this property is a bit dated exteriorly but it was just renovated recently and you will be surprise how modern the rooms look. To make it more interesting, all rooms here comes with a huge bathtub as well. . Another plus point about this resort is the view if you opt for Seaview rooms. Even the cost will be way expensive, I truly believe it will provide a very perfect view of the sea and you can watch sunset too. Golf course view is also nice with a lot of greeneries and access to the private beach is just a walk away. . It is now on my favorite hotel list in Kota Kinabalu. Highly recommended!!

#birthdaytreat #weekend #birthdaystaycay stayed at Pacific Sutera Harbour for my birthday celebration and staycation with la familia. The room was very specious and clean. the pool facilities was perfect and safe for children with on duty life guard always watching and ensure the safety of pool users. Although the hotel impose no outside food rules, there's many selection available from the hotel its self.

Returning from Mermaid Island to Kota Kinabalu, check in at The Pacific Sutera Hotel, a white high-rise building by the azure sea with magnificent sea views, adjacent to a golf course on the left and a marina on the right. Located in the middle of the airport and the city, it is convenient to go anywhere with an excellent location. In the tropical garden, a large sea-view swimming pool allows for carefree swimming, and there is also a private beach for playing in the water and sand, creating a rich island vacation atmosphere everywhere. The renovated guest rooms are designed with a novel and fashionable style, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy the sea view or the golf course. The private bathroom is equipped with a bathtub and all necessary facilities. Silk Road Chinese Restaurant on the first floor of the hotel offers Chinese cuisine and Cantonese dim sum. The dining environment is spacious and comfortable, with Chinese red as the main theme color. While enjoying delicious food, you can also appreciate the beautiful garden landscape and yacht dock. Fresh and tender shrimp balls, special honey glazed chicken, golden and crispy fried fish, smooth and delicate shrimp dumplings, and delicious shrimp roe siu mai are all available! Sabah's sunset is unique every day, and each viewing point offers a different and unique experience. Horizons Sky Bar, located on the top floor of the Pacific Sutera Hotel, allows you to enjoy delicious food and drinks while overlooking the magnificent sunset and evening glow from a spacious terrace, offering an unparalleled and wonderful experience.

#Ho-kang-seu #Kota-Kinabalu #Overseas-travel A resort that costs 5,000 won from the airport by Uber ⭐️ 📍Kota Kinabalu, The Pacific Sutra You can swim like in the first picture🏊‍♀️ There's also a pool where you can slide! Picture 2.3 Breakfast view of a typical hotel, breakfast is delicious 4.5 Yachts are anchored in front of the hotel Kota Kinabalu is even more beautiful at sunset🙌 6.7 The room condition is good, but the room service was hard to eat because the spices were strong,,ㅎㅎ (Go to the market the next day and buy ramen..) You can move from the city and the airport to the hotel by Uber within 5,000 won, so it's the best transportation I recommend it even more if you're going on a golf trip! #The Pacific Sutra #Kota Kinabalu Accommodation Recommendation

#Swimming pool If you are leaving Kota Kinabalu, I recommend 📍The Pacific Sutera Resort 🏊‍♂️There is a swimming pool that you can see in the picture, and there is a separate pool with a rail (There is also a slide on the rail side, so I rode it many times as an adult) ⭐️The advantage of Sutera is that it is close to the city and you can go to the airport and the city with Grab for 3,000-5,000 won, which is good. I went to the airport and realized I didn't bring my luggage but it was close and Grab was cheap, lol so I went and got it myself..;:ㅋㅋ I recommend it👍🏻#The Pacific Sutera #Malaysia #Kota Kinabalu #Swimming pool

Magellan Sutera Resort Staycation Review The warm air greeted me as soon as I arrived at the airport. Located less than 15 minutes away by car, Magellan Sutera Resort is close to the city yet offers a serene and tranquil atmosphere that feels detached from reality. The lobby itself was impressive. With its high ceilings, slowly rotating ceiling fans, and an open view of the ocean, the healing process seemed to begin even while waiting to check in. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a balcony overlooking lush green lawns and the sea. You could even hear the sound of waves while lying in bed. Staying in the room alone was a delight. The resort features multiple swimming pools, thoughtfully designed to cater to families and couples alike with separate spaces. Lying on a sunbed, doing nothing but gazing at the sky, was pure bliss. At sunset, I walked to the private beach. The sight of the ocean bathed in the colors of the setting sun and people taking photos in front of it made me think, "I'm so glad I came here." Dinner was at the resort's restaurant, offering a mix of local and international dishes that perfectly suited my taste. The unlimited breakfast was also excellent, with tropical fruits and local coffee leaving a lasting impression. What stood out the most was the staff's kindness. They greeted me with smiles and anticipated my needs before I even asked, making my stay comfortable and warm. This is a place where you can heal without doing much. Falling asleep to the sound of waves and waking up to the chirping of birds is an experience that makes you realize why travel is essential to escape the daily grind. 📍 Magellan Sutera Resort, Kota Kinabalu Sabah, Malaysia, Sutera Harbor area

On the seventh day of our trip to Sabah, Malaysia, we spent a leisurely day in Kota Kinabalu, slowing down to enjoy the final moments of our vacation. We chose to relax at the Pacific Sutera Hotel, indulging in local massage services and admiring the stunning sunset at Breeze Beach Club, marking a perfect end to our Sabah adventure. Relaxing by the Hotel Pool In the morning, we enjoyed a sumptuous buffet breakfast at the hotel before heading to the pool to unwind. The Pacific Sutera Hotel boasts multiple pools, including an Olympic-standard pool, a scenic pool, and a children's pool, catering to various needs of travelers. We played in the pool, basked in the sunshine, and felt the sea breeze, completely relaxing our bodies and minds. Strolling at the Yacht Marina After breakfast, we took a walk at the yacht marina located in Sutera Harbour, admiring the luxurious yachts docked at the port and feeling the sea breeze on our faces. This area is one of Kota Kinabalu's upscale residential zones, with beautiful surroundings perfect for leisurely strolls and photography. Shopping at Centre Point Sabah Next, we visited Centre Point Sabah, a large shopping mall in the city center featuring numerous shops, restaurants, and entertainment facilities. We shopped, sampled local snacks, and picked out souvenirs for friends and family. Massage Experience at Relax Corner In the afternoon, we headed to Relax Corner in the city center for a massage experience. This popular local massage parlor offers full-body and foot massage services. We opted for a 1.5-hour full-body and foot massage, priced at approximately NT$939, offering great value for money. The skilled masseurs helped relax our muscles and rejuvenate our spirits. Sunset at Breeze Beach Club In the evening, we returned to Breeze Beach Club at the Pacific Sutera Hotel, a beachfront bar with excellent sea views and sunset spots. As the sun gradually set, the horizon turned golden, and the sea sparkled with shimmering waves—a breathtaking scene. We enjoyed dinner here, savoring fresh seafood and local specialties while sharing the magnificent natural beauty with travelers from around the world. Ocean View Suite at Pacific Sutera Hotel We stayed at the Pacific Sutera Hotel in Sutera Harbour, which features 500 rooms and suites with comprehensive facilities and top-notch service. Our room offered stunning views of the South China Sea or the golf course, providing a serene and refreshing ambiance. The hotel also houses several restaurants and bars, including Silk Garden, Café Boleh, Pool Bar, and Breeze Beach Club, catering to diverse tastes. Conclusion On our last day in Sabah, we chose to slow down and enjoy a leisurely vacation. From relaxing by the hotel pool to strolling at the yacht marina, experiencing massages at Relax Corner, and finally admiring the sunset at Breeze Beach Club, we truly felt the unique charm of Sabah. This trip not only challenged us with Mt. Kinabalu but also allowed us to experience the local natural scenery and cultural vibes, leaving us with wonderful memories.

On the sixth day of our free travel to Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia, we returned from Kinabalu National Park to Kota Kinabalu (KK City). This day was designed to be relaxing, allowing us to unwind after the challenge of climbing Mount Kinabalu and prepare for the next leg of our journey. Car Return and Grab Ride Experience The drive from Kinabalu Park back to Kota Kinabalu takes approximately 2.5 hours, offering scenic views that once again showcase the natural beauty of Sabah. Upon arriving in Kota Kinabalu, we first dropped off Mrs. Han and our luggage at the hotel before I headed to the airport to return the rental car. Although there were minor hiccups during the car return process, overall, the service provided by Keddy by Europcar was satisfactory. After returning the car, I used the Grab app to book a ride from the airport to the hotel. Grab is a popular ride-hailing service in Southeast Asia, known for its user-friendly interface, transparent pricing, and support for both cash and credit card payments. The ride from the airport to the hotel took only about 10 minutes and cost approximately RM5 (around NT$35), making it a very affordable option. Pacific Sutera Hotel Sea View Suite We stayed at the Pacific Sutera Hotel, a five-star hotel located on a man-made island. The hotel boasts facilities such as a golf course, marina, spa, and swimming pool. Our accommodation was a sea view suite, featuring a spacious and comfortable room with stunning views of the ocean, which instantly lifted our spirits. After checking in, we changed into swimwear and headed to the pool to relax. Playing in the pool and enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze quickly washed away our fatigue. Lying on a deck chair and gazing at the distant ocean felt like being in a vacation paradise. Cafe Boleh Asian Buffet Dinner For dinner, we chose to dine at Cafe Boleh in the hotel, which offers an Asian buffet. The restaurant features a wide variety of dishes, including Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Western cuisines, catering to all our taste preferences. The sunset view from the restaurant, with its orange-red glow reflecting on the sea and the distant islands and yachts adding to the scenery, made our dinner truly unforgettable. Conclusion The sixth day of our trip allowed us to relax and enjoy the beauty and cuisine of Kota Kinabalu after the challenge of Mount Kinabalu. Through the experiences of returning the rental car and using Grab, we became more familiar with local transportation and appreciated the convenience of smartphone applications in Southeast Asia. Staying in the sea view suite at the Pacific Sutera Hotel added a touch of perfection to our journey.

There are loads of 🐟 near the rocks, just like the ones I saw snorkeling at Mamutik Island. Bring some 🍞 to attract them all! The hotel provides 🦺 and towels for free.

The soft white sand is like stepping on cotton candy The reflection of the sky mirror was taken at low tide and it was so beautiful that it was suffocating ✅Live completely in the tropical rainforest! Every day I was awakened by the birdsong and the monkeys held sports meetings on the balcony I discovered the firefly forest and the secret golf course on foot
