Hotels With Breakfast in Sabah, Malaysia

This hotel exceeded our expectations. They accommodated us with early checking and had excellent guest services. The rooms were clean and spacious. The resort is located on a golf course which my husband loved! They also have a great spa! The breakfast was great and they have good other food options with a variety of on site restaurants. We would definitely recommend.

The look of the hotel from the outside is so misleading. We passed by the hotel before check in and did not have good vibes about it. But once we entered it was like in a different place altogether! The ambience and feel is so elegant and beautiful. The way to the rooms are like secret entrance to another realm! So cool! The room is so welcoming and gorgeous. Loved our stay and wished that we were there longer!

First, all the check in counters were open but still the check in queue was long. I was queued for almost 1 hour just to check in. Need to better system in check-in. Second, hotel policies stated no outside food. If guest order food outside, food rider only able to delivered until guardhouse and guest need to walk out and take the food themselves. To minimize the hassle, we opt for in-room dining for our 2 nights stay. First night was good. Second night some of the menu are OOS such as pizza and even mushroom soup. Third, another incident on our 2nd night, fire alarm was rang on 12+am. Lift was unable to use as well and fire symbol was shown on the lift panel. Guests started panicked and going down using stairs. Me and my family (along with my 7months pregnant sister) decided to go down to lobby using stairs, since there are no staff was seen to inform us what has happened. Once we reached lobby, only there is a staff informed is a false alarm. For this kind of situation, staff should be act faster since its related with safety. Other than that, we've enjoyed the view from our room, the facilities that are offered. We're enjoyed the pizza on our first night, thats why we want to repeat on 2nd night and too bad its not available. Sutera Harbour is one of the well known resort in Kota Kinabalu, a place to catch good sunset view, and I hope they're able to improve their services and better safety/security.

Great hotel and staff. The morning breakfast is the best. We loved it. The location is far from Gaya street though.

The rooms were impeccably clean, and the setting was lovely with abundant greenery (we heard the owner designed it himself!). It's evident they put a lot of thought into creating a great guest experience. The service was exceptional, truly incredible value. Da Niu was wonderful; he meticulously arranged everything for us, and we even had some great conversations with him (his Chinese is fantastic, by the way! 🎉). The hotel staff were all incredibly friendly and constantly smiling – because when you're on vacation, happiness is key! Highly recommended. The value for money is superb, far outclassing hotels in town, which are often dirty, chaotic, noisy, and frankly, quite unappealing. Here, it's wonderfully quiet, perfect for a peaceful night's rest after a day of exploring. And crucially, they offer pick-up and drop-off service. This place truly is the undisputed king of value for money! I'll definitely be back on my next visit. Trust me, it's an absolutely fantastic experience!

My stay at Sutera Mantanani was absolutely unforgettable. The hotel’s location is simply incredible—right by the ocean, with stunning sea views the moment you step outside. Waking up to the sound of waves and the sight of crystal-clear waters was pure bliss. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and designed to make the most of the natural beauty surrounding the hotel. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant and relaxing stay. Whether you’re looking to unwind on the beach or explore the island, this hotel is the perfect base for your trip. I highly recommend Sutera Mantanani to anyone seeking a peaceful getaway with breathtaking views. Can’t wait to return!

I would like to extend my gratitude towards the staff's name Nova. She's really helpful and she's comply will all my request even though it's a just a small gesture. I do feel welcome with her warmly greeting and she still check on me after i've checked in. Highly recommended for this hotel as its just right in front of 'philipines market' and great location for tourist to have a walk for shopping a local food n souvenir and have a good seafood meals.10/10 for the bed!!!

We had a very satisfying stay at Raia Hotel Kota Kinabalu. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious, perfect for a relaxing break. The staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to assist. We especially appreciated the convenient location—close to the airport, restaurants, and main attractions. Overall, a pleasant and comfortable experience. Highly recommended for families and travelers looking for value and convenience in KK!

I 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.

Amazing location for the sunbears and Orangutan Sanctuary, just 5 minutes on foot. The pool here is a nice relief from the heat, however there are only about 10 sunbeds and then some seating along the wall, so at times there was nowhere to sit and relax by the pool which was a shame. The room was big, the balcony overlooked jungle type gardens and lots of wildlife could be seen/heard. Tea&coffee was available in the rooms, along with bottled water each day. Food in the restaurant was average. The gardens were beautiful, would stay again.
