Great stay🥰”
Out of many hotels and resorts i've stayed here in kota kinabalu i think the Magellan Sutera Resort is the best resort ever. Really great and really family friendly resort. The food was delicious with a variety of choices. The room was clean and the bed was very comfy. They also provided me a baby coat for my 4mo baby. That was just great. The view and facilities was also awesome. I have no complaint for this hotel resort. The staf were also really helpful and friendly. I would recommend everyone to stay at this resort.keep up!!

Christmas 2019”
After much searching on hotels for our Christmas 2019 holiday we decided on the Magellan Sutera in KK - so glad we did we booked a Executive Suite which was like an apartments - 2 balconies, lounge room, bedroom, 2 toilets and a full bathroom, as well as a small kitchen. The best restaurant to eat in we found to be Alfresco service and choices were great and between 7-9pm each night they have a drinks package 50% discount. Den, Stanley, Emily & Michelle were amazing staff and could not do enough for you. Check in was very quick although we had to find our own room which was fine. This hotel caters more to the South Koreans but they differently look after westerners. There are 3 different complexes in this hotel as well as a harbour, golf club , cinema, bowling and much more all of which you can use as their guest. he only thing I would suggest they change for the Executive Club members is more of a drink package as there is only Tiger beer, soft drinks, gin & vodka plus wines -

Great location, even greater facilities 🤩”
We decided to stay here for our short trip in KK as it has been quite some time for the kids to get out and play. Plus, the fact that by staying here, we could enjoy all the facilities that Sutera Harbour has to offer was definitely a major draw. Reception was a breeze, room was clean and the swimming pools won my kids’ heart 😍 Not forgetting, I totally appreciate the amount of lifeguards around, you guys are heroes 🤩 In addition, the breakfast spread was superb in my books. I would definitely stay here again, kudos to the whole crew of The Magellan Sutera 👏👏👏

Totally worth it! ”
Had a very comfortable stay. I had a very good sleep and had a good time walking around the resort exploring the place. Especially the docks. Find it amazing how they keep the docks clean and there’re coral and fishes just by the bay. Although I think they should put more effort in cleaning it a little bit as I could see oil on the water. Food was good at the resort too. The price wasn’t too expensive for a 5 star resort. The staffs were nice and all my requests were met. Will totally come back again!

Exceptional”
I was greeted with a warm welcome from the receptionist.. I originally booked a garden view. I am so they give me a sea view room, with all my personal request granted (smoke free and upper level). It was very clean. Moreover the facilities are good. They have playground and activities for kids. My wife and daughter had a great time. We love the swimming pool. Breakfast was okay. Seaview, sunrise and sunset was great! I will booked again im the future.

Superb package! Highly recommended 👍🏻”
My first time staying at Sutera Harbour, chose the Blissful package but little did we know this package is for honeymoon but really worth even for family! In agoda it didn't list every detail for this package, all we know is breakfast (sahur for muslim) included but upon check in, there were also dinner included and also evening cruise! Such an amazing experience staying here, good service and nice staff, food was nice its just that for sahur the variety of food could be more suitable and light like cereals, porridge, oat, since not everyone want to eat rice. For the cruise there should be little signboard to guide to the meeting point, we almost missed the cruise since we got lost. Everything else was nice, looking forward to stay here again!

Very good and Soo beautiful.”
I booked the club room sea view and was upgraded to a suite. I was very happy. The check-in process was quick. The staff were friendly and professional. The staff was good at English and Korean. Service was very good. The room was spacious, pleasant and beautiful. The sea, the scenery, the promenade and the sunset were beautiful. The pool and Italian restaurant, breakfast and club lounge were the best of all. Especially conversation with staff of bar in pool was fun. It is the best accommodation in Kota Kinabalu. I highly recommend Magellan Sutra! It was the best trip.

There's room for improvement ”
As the price nowadays is very tempting, I have to say that Magellan could've hired more part timers especially in the Housekeeping & Front Office departments. They are lacking with staffs as that one guy from the front desk himself had to run to the rooms to check the condition. We have waited from 3pm and only managed to get into the room almost 7pm. Luckily they offered late checkout and complimentary dinner. I feel sorry for the guests as there were elderly people who had to wait as well, and my deepest sorry for the staffs. They've done their best, even breakfast time, the F&B staffs are well managed with the guests and preparations. Definitely will come back if there's improvement and great room price.

Great option for family getaways”
Stayed here with my niece, nephew and my two elderly parents and they had the time of their life. Parents enjoyed the buffet and views, while the kids immediately took to the pool and cycling during sunset along the coast. Plus it’s so close to the city centre in case you want to venture out, etc. Only regret is that I didn’t get to experience the spa while I was there since I’ve heard nothing but good news about it.

Great staycation”
Fasilities are excellent, so many activities you can do here. 1 night is not enough time to spend your time here. Will most probably come again if the price is right. If the resort could always offer promotional price every month, it should make local tourist happy. The normal price is quite expensive. Other than that is excellent. Thank you Magellan. ❤️❤️❤️

great choice to stay in KK”
it was a great experience to stay in Magellan resort. We stayed at Magellan Club Suite room and the room was spacious. Employees were kind and we were pretty much satisfied. However, one thing that was inconvenient for us was the wifi connection. We had many times that wifi got disconnected while using it. Other than that, it was all good!
