Golf aficionados will appreciate a few rounds on the Graham Marsh designed championship course or grab your partner and head down to the squash courts. An Olympic-sized swimming pools means you can get a few decent laps in or simply splash around with the kids in the fun pool. Dining is extensive too with Italian restaurant Ferdinand’s listed as one of Malaysia’s best restaurants! Alternatively, there’s a sumptuous buffet at Five Sails or feast on wood-fired pizzas beside the pool at Al Fresco’s.

Returned back after 7 years and this resort still has that charm! Attending a wedding function at Pacific Sutera and at the same time took a break with family. Nice sea view room and friendly staffs. The Chinese course dinner was tasty and decorations are nice. Me and my family enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend.

This was our second visit to the Pacific Sutera this year and we would have to rate it as one of our best holiday stays ever. Our amazingly warm " welcome back !" from Esther at club lounge reception and similarly professional, warm and friendly dealings with the rest of the staff at the Pacific Club ensured a stay that was both relaxing and enjoyable. Our room had a lovely view over the golfcourse and the balcony was great place to sit of an evening and view the city lights. The room itself was clean and comfortable though perhaps a little dated. However we could not fault the service at the club. It is a beautifully relaxing environment with gorgeous views over the islands and South China Sea and the food at breakfast and cocktail hour was varied and tasty. Zul and his team: Jurie, Hakri, Dyana, Vien, Christine and Florien made us feel more like family than guests and ensured that our stay was truly a memorable one. The facilities at the resort are excellent and we made full use of the gym at the marina complex and the olympic pool. Many thanks to Sheril and Mirajh for their warm greetings and smiles at the poolside and to Grace and Suhara who again impressed us with their friendliness and professionalism. The extensive grounds ensure a calm, relaxing environment and the resort is close to Kota Kinabalu city if one is interested in shopping and nightlife. Thank you one and all for the fabulous memories and hopefully see you again next year. Read less

This hotel had the slowest check in I have ever experienced. From being third in the queue it took an hour - with each customer taking 20 minutes. Not what you want after a tiring journey. Apart from that the hotel is decent enough and breakfast was good. The setting is quite attractive but the hotel was very crowded with lots of children so is hardly a peaceful place. It is a taxi ride away from the city centre and the Waterfont bars but since the hotel prices are high it is worth the taxi fare. Read less
