I stayed here for a night on 30.07.2025. The hotel room is superb, feels premium and it is worth the price. The concept is a modern hotel in the forest. Received a warm welcome by the host a.k.a owner. Breakfast for two, was more than enough. Thank you Melissa.

Manukan Island i extremely beautiful, and they are doing a great job to take care of the corals, and the safety of people. Our Lodge were clean and nice, and service worked absolutely perfect. We had our 25th anniversary and they celebrated us with surprise breakfast on the waterfront ❤️🌺 My husband got ill some days before we arrived, and when it got worse the resort manager Eva followed us to hospital and stayed the hole day, and called friends so we had a new hotel five minutes from the hospital. She was so unbelievable helpful and caring. 😍❤️ All staff was helpful, one took our luggage by his own car so it was easy when we were under distress. All in all an excellent help and support.

Everything was excellent! The spacious 1 bedroom suite was amazing with steam shower and whirlpool bath. We had balcony facing swimming pool and the beach. Very quiet place with not so many people around...you can have the beach just for yourself most of the day. Cleaning every day. Staff very helpfull..organized for us car rental, airport transfer and trips. The place is a bit remote (restaurants are in the Nexus hotel nearby-free transfer) or you can walk along the beach. I loved that we got a pocket wifi..so we could stay connected everywhere.

We were the only one staying at the resort. It's peaceful and quiet. Mr Lee connected via Whatsapp with us few hours before check-in. As we arrived very late in the evening, he informed us on the dinner options before check-in. Personalised service. 🫡 Lots to explore around- sungai, garden. We had a private Garden.

Don't have to travel to Europe to gain such a fascinating view, Only be mindful, a lot of uphill if u wanna walk around. Great place for retirement if u love trekking n love nature.

Once a humble coastal town, it’s now becoming increasingly tourist-oriented. Seafood tends to be on the pricier side unless you’re skilled at bargaining. Diving here offers mostly smaller marine life, especially when compared to the vibrant underwater scenes of the Maldives. Night dives aren’t permitted unless you’re staying at one of the pricier water resorts that offer in-house diving. It’s fine for a short getaway, but there’s not much in the way of standout attractions or culinary experiences.

From what we saw, pretty much the only reason to stay in Lahad Datu is to catch a plane. We were there about 24 hours which was plenty. The airport is one of the smallest I have ever been to and was hot and crowded, but the plane was on time and got us to Kota Kinabalu.

It is well worth staying at least two nights at Sepilok, so that one can attend both feeding sessions at the orang utan centre, visit the sunbear rehabilitation centre AND spend time at the wonderful Rainforest Discovery Centre. The latter deserves a few hours, preferably in the afternoon and leading up to dusk, as one can see so much wildlife,. The canopy walkway is amazing.

I wouldn't choose to stay in Keningau again.

I wouldn't choose to stay in Keningau again. It is a fairly grim place, noisy and with little to recommend it. I drove through Tambunan earlier on my trip which seemed like a much nicer place (although I didn't stay due to the lack of accommodation). The road through the Crocker range was good and worth a visit, but don't expect too much of Keningau itself.

Kota Kinabalu is a beautiful city with amazing waterfront views, friendly locals, and plenty of nice cafes and seafood restaurants. It’s a great place to relax and explore nature. However, I found the food prices to be higher than expected — generally pricier than in Penang or Kuala Lumpur. Other than that, it was an enjoyable trip and I’d love to visit again someday.
