Although I originally planned to post my end of last year KK trip earlier this month, but as usual life got in the way again. So now here I am scrambling to post this one out before the official end of the month (sigh..).
So yes, I did went to KK again for the New Year's (like always) and this time me and hubby decided to splurge a bit before going back to good ol' Tawau. And that's how we ended up at The Magellan Sutera Harbour Resort for some 'healing' vacay. It was years since we'd last went to its sisterly resort The Pacific Sutera Harbour so we barely remembered was it was like staying within the luxurious area. Granted, there's the slight funny incident where we were directed to the wrong wing by the newbie receptionist, but overall our stay was very enjoyable & satisfying. The room that we had were spacious and very resort coded, with a nice balcony. No free snacks provided (like other big name hotels) but we loved the multi sized & types of pillows available. Although I do agree with some patrons saying that the place looks dated and has somewhat past its prime, but they do keep the resort well maintained. There's a lot of walking going around the resort due to its huge size (yup, even to your room) but there's a lot of things that you can also do within the resort that I don't think patrons would mind that much (unless you have leg problems, to which I sympathized).
We were also a bit taken aback by their equally huge open lobby area (the biggest that we've been to thus far) as well as other facilities available such as the 4 or 5 dining places within the premises and 2 sets of swimming area (not including the pools at the Pacific, since you can also use the facility as an in house guest). But do take note that they specifically forbade guests to order any types of food delivery from outside so if you do not have your own vehicle, you would have to be okay to walked a bit of a distance to eat out or even for shopping, as the resort sat on its own land (right next to the Riverson/ KK Times Square area & across the big road from the Sutera Avenue buildings)
Type - Deluxe Garden View King
Room - 4/5 (had seen better days but still very comfortable & I did mentioned about their pilllows right?)
Price - 4/5 (the price might be a bit 'atas' but I personally think it's worth it)
Service - 5/5 (staff were friendly throughout)
Decor - 4/5 (again, a bit dated but still very classy)
Facilities - 5/5 (loved the fact that you can use any facilities available, just as long as you're a legit guest)
Location - 4/5 (might not be directly walkable to the main town area but they do provide scheduled shuttles to such places)
And here are also some pics of the lovely surroundings & other facilities...
