Nice resort hotel

3 out of 5

The hotel was nice resort hotel as expected. However, it was not easy to find out number to front desk when I wanted to call and after I found the number and called the front desk, no one responded to the call. Also, I could not find TV information.

Dated hotel, pictures misleading

3 out of 5

We had an extended stay here at The Pacific Sutera Hotel - 9 days visiting family in KK. The hotel in it's hey-day was the pride of KK, and in many ways nothing has changed, and that's the problem. The decor is showing its 20year age, and the whole hotel is in dire need of a complete revamp. From cracks and missing tiles in the pools (poorly fixed with cement leaving rough spots to catch toes), to leaks in sinks and toilets that are hard to flush. If you look past these things, it's a wonderful spot to holiday. The staff make it a very special place. We booked a Pacific Club room - which allowed us to use the club services. To us this was worth it, with a quite relaxed place to start the day (with local fruits, continental breakfast and some cooked breakfast options), and a magical place to watch the amazing sunsets in the evening. Just be warned, the pictures on Expedia and The Sutera websites show a club room from the 5th floor - nothing at all like the rooms on the actual club floors. The other thing to keep in mind that is not posted anywhere, is that after 7pm the whole place becomes a dance party with doof-doof music and loud bass echoing through the clear night air right through to 11pm. This is super annoying if you are trying to get an early nights sleep. From the 10th floor we could easily make out song lyrics as we lay in bed. For us the STAFF made this a great trip, the hotel itself - needs some TLC

About Kota Kinabalu

Standing as the commercial, economic, administrative and transport hub of Borneo, Kota Kinabalu (or KK) has enjoyed vast development in the last decade. It is the main gateway to Sabah, from where the entire Malay insular region can be effortlessly explored. From scaling the dizzying heights of Mount Kinabalu to uncovering the majestic coral islands off its coastline, KK is one of the most appealing destinations in Malaysia.

Don’t Miss

Kota Kinabalu is a treasure chest of natural and man-made sites that demand the attention of tourists.

The city is only a short distance from numerous fascinating dive and snorkel sites in Malaysia. Tour operators offer trips to the nearby islands daily, including spots like the beautiful Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park and Usuku Bay. While island-hopping, tourists can also absorb the stunning beauty of the sun-drenched cays, some of which are completely secluded, offering an unrivalled tranquillity.

The built environment of Kota Kinabalu is also intriguing. From the bustling Chinatown to the state museums, religious structures and old colonial landmarks that dot the city, KK is bursting with architectural highlights.

Several parks make fantastic places for tourists to explore. Kids will fall in love with the water park at Tun Fuad Park, which is located just 15 minutes from the downtown area. South of KK is Lok Kawi Wildlife Park. This magnificent zoological reserve contains a host of local and international animal species, making it great for the whole family.

Restaurants and Bars

One of the city’s most important features is its wide culinary culture. There are plenty of international influences to accompany local Malay cuisine, including Indian Chinese, European and even Western. Tourists are advised to try the kedai kopi buffet chain, which offers plenty of local specialities. For a true KK experience, dining along the seafront at one of the make-shift stalls is recommended. Of course, for a grander experience, eating along the pier is a must. After hours, the best places to enjoy a drink are the Waterfront and Times Square. However, bars and clubs can be found along Beach Street and Jalan Datuk Salleh Sulong.

Shopping in Kota Kinabalu

Several major shopping malls reside within Kota Kinabalu, so shopaholics will feel satisfied. Centre Point Sabah, 1Borneo Hypermall and Suria Sabah are the largest and most visited retail department stores in the city. Of course, the Handicraft Market is also quite popular, offering pearls, crystals, hand-made crafts and other lovely souvenir options.
