We had a lovely stay at The Luma Hotel. I instantly fell in live with their interior the moment I saw it on social media, more so when we got to experience staying in it. Apart from their impeccably well-thought of interior design, I also appreciate how accommodating their staffs were as well as how convenient the location of the hotel. Would definitely come back once I visit Kota Kinabalu

This is my third stay, I had a free upgrade room to Deluxe room, that was really great.
For the first two times, I was talking about feeling too cold after shower as cold air from the room will be going into the bathroom through the airventilated door. This time, the room is too warm, the temperature inside the bathroom after shower is just nice, but too warm to sleep at night, covering the quilt makes me too warm, without it would be too cold. Told the receptionist couple of times and they said maintenance had tried to turn it on to the max but the speed was still slow. However, I have a friend staying for the same night in different room, the fan speed of the air-conditioning in his room was really strong. I guess there's something wrong with the air-conditioning in my room.
Other than that, everything's great.

The hotel is in a good downtown location, close to Gaya Street, nearby jetties, and malls. The sunset views from the rooftop are also beautiful. For breakfast, I recommend trying items from the à la carte menu (which are free) – they're quite good. The buffet items, however, were pretty standard.
The hotel is generally new but the pool is a bit small. For rooms, try to get a higher floor as lower floors have obstructed views. Overall, if you're looking for value for money, it's pretty average, but if that's not a concern, I'd recommend it. 🥸
Since my flight arrived in Kota Kinabalu at 1 AM, I chose a hotel close to the airport. This one is about 5km away, which isn't too far.
Regarding the hotel facilities, there were pros and cons. The room was spacious, and the air conditioning worked well. The price was fair for the environment.
However, the bathroom was a letdown. The shower had no hot water, so I had no choice but to take a cold shower. They only provided small bottles of shower gel and shampoo, which felt a bit stingy. The sink also had no hot water, and I'm not sure if the water heater was broken.
I didn't bother calling the front desk to complain, as I was just too exhausted.

The hotel's location is excellent! 👍 The service attitude is great, facilities are complete, and transportation is convenient. Especially, there's a fantastic Malay restaurant (Restoran Nikmat 2) right behind it – highly recommended! After 11 PM, the hot water supply wasn't quite sufficient, only lukewarm. Also, there was a sewer odor in the bathroom. Hope these minor issues can be improved upon.

I expected a great hotel stay and they delivered. All the staff were lovely. Thank you for that.
My only issue is the lack of room information regarding what is available in the hotel. Normally I would expect marketing information and menus for restarunt and bar in the room. The TV does give room service menu but was not required.
Fortunately we found Ben, the Concierge in the lobby who very kindly explained what we asked, and provided a map for the area. Very welcome. Thank you very much.

The room was very clean and spacious, quiet, and the air conditioning was nice and cool. The shower had great pressure. The front desk staff were very helpful; even though they didn't speak Chinese, check-in was smooth. The room was cleaned daily. The hotel's location is excellent, with many eateries downstairs, making it very convenient for seafood. If you're not looking for luxury, this hotel is definitely worth staying at. You need your room card to access the upper floors, which adds to the security.

This is a great hotel located near the city center and very convenient for the airport. The facilities are excellent, with everything you need, including a swimming pool and fitness center. It's a good option for a quick overnight stay if you arrive late at night, though the breakfast is just okay. The front desk staff were fairly friendly. The scent in the elevator was a bit odd, though.
Very Good

Great
I particularly love the location, 15 mins' ride to airport and 10 mins' ride to the city centre. The area of the resort is large, next to the sea, with quite some water or other kids activities available. We didn't try the pools but look nice. Breakfast has a wide variety with something different each day. The hotel is a bit aged and torn. Cleanliness inside the room and common areas (carpets) should be better.
i stay in the room with private bathroom, thus cannot speak for those who stay in the hut. This retreat is simple and a beautiful place to watch sunset. around 2H journey to tip of kudat. choices of food quite limited though but i enjoy my stay here nevertheless. special appreciation to the receptions on both check in day and check out day as they were both helpful and accomodating, hope this place would continue to flourish.
The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was suitable for a family and for those who prefer to relax. The view from our room was fascinating and breathtaking. Their food is super tasty. We only need 5 to 10 minutes to access food places and a trip package to Pasar Semporna. We will book this hotel again once we come back to Semporna.
the location is right in the center and is very convenient the room is really clean and the view is good too nreception are so friendly and helpful totally 10/10 very good
Not as good as my expectations of 5 stars of shangri la hotel, but still in great value and services consider the price is much cheaper. I came with my family including 2 kids at 6 and 8, they love the game area and swimming pools with water slides. Because of 2 nights stay in the wet seasons in September. especially after 5pm, a tropical rainfall so that I didn't get any chance to see sunset in the beaches. The beaches are not really good condition of sand quality. I enjoyed the morning hiking trip to the nearby hills and also the walk in the beach. Many wildlife and calm of the days.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable island getaway Our stay at Sutera @ Mantanani was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and breathtaking views of crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed to blend with the natural beauty of the island. Waking up to the sound of the sea was truly refreshing. The food was delicious, with a good variety, and we appreciated the care taken in every meal. What stood out the most was the staff friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The snorkeling experience was unforgettable, with vibrant marine life just steps away from the resort. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from city life and a chance to reconnect with nature, Sutera @ Mantanani is the perfect choice. We left with wonderful memories and would definitely love to return. Highly recommended! 🌊🌴
The place is wonderful, my view in the morning from a lovely balcony is impossible to capture in a photo, the smell of a sea breeze and the sounds of birds everywhere. The rooms are very clean and beautiful, they capture the esthetics of the Kota Kinabalu. It is a minute away from the beautiful and vast beach, it is absolutely an underrated place. The staff is great, they have let me check in early, and also, there’s a luggage storage, so I was able to just bring a backpack to my outing trip for couple of days. Also, it is near the airport, which is a plus if you plan on traveling further in Sabah by local flights. Thank you very much for being a good host, O will choose this place again for sure! ☀️
