Sutera Sanctuary Lodges At Manukan Island

Very cozy—nestled in the hill edge with sea view.

Excellent! We stayed in a Beach suite king. It was spacious, beautifully decorated with balcony. It was clean and the staff couldn’t do enough to ensure we had a good stay. Shout out to Grace who was lovely and so helpful. The pool, weights gym and beach were just for residents and day trippers were just on the public beach. It was very well organised, the beach was cleaned of any plastic washed up. The sunset walk was on a path to the other side of the island snd was guided. Beautiful sunset!

lovely comfortable room with extra seating area. good air con. Room very near to the reception area and not too near to the main walk way where the day trippers filed in. Breakfast catered for every nationality choices. The private beach had sunbeds and shades and we never had a problem getting one! The beach was clean and the sea warm and a safe snorkelling area was protected by coloured buoys. Many boats came to the island each day so safe area was appreciated and this also kept the coral from boat damage in the "safe" area. Many beautiful fish and healthy coral.

The beach is stunning, though a bit rocky in some areas. The food was fresh and delicious. We chose a room close to the beach, which was convenient, but it can get noisy in the mornings as visitors start arriving around 8 or 9 AM. The resort itself is beautiful, and having a private beach made the stay more enjoyable. A short stay is more than enough to experience the best the resort has to offer.

A nice beach, calm water. Lots of day visitors, just makes it interesting. There's a monitor lizard that strolls through the beach in the morning. There's no real snorkeling there. Loved the restaurant, spend a lot of time just sitting there watching the day and evening go by. Quick trip from Kota Kinabalu.
