Perfectly placed property overlooking the sea. Staff were all very accommodating and friendly.

8/10 Very good

A good choice for an overnight stay with all the facilities you'd expect from this hotel. Good location just away from the port but within walking distance of bars/restaurants on the front. The infinity pool was lovely overlooking the islands - however there was limited pool furniture and only 3 parasols which was an issue. We enjoyed cocktails on the rooftop terrace watching the sunset. Pity this isn't open during the day as the food offered would have been most welcome for lunch. Staff were lovely and reactive.

Best executive lounge staff in Kota Kinabalu!

Marriott has had its best days even the it is starred still as 5. Fortunately we had booked a room with executive lounge access and it was the highlight of the stay as Mr. Nigel Wong and Ms. Felicia took care of us during our 5 days of spending in the hotel. They made us felt more than welcome and shared some good tips what to do in Kota Kinabalu. Also, the exec.lounge had the best view to the sea and beautiful sunsets.

Good location

The location is great. It's walking distance about 15-20mins to the famous weekend Gaya Street market, Filipino market, Central market etc. Half the way is covered walkway because Marriott Hotel entrance is at one end and the building is big; so it takes about 5-10mins to walk to the end of the building. Gym looks great although we didn't used it. The breakfast buffet was good enough.

The hotel offered satisfactory service with notably quick in-room dining. The sea view and location were impressive, ideal for those seeking delicious food and family time. The quality of food and service was decent, and the room was fine for those not expecting luxury standards. (However, the shower head in the room needed repairs due to low water flow.) A special shout-out to Nigel at the front desk who was a true superstar! His patience and professionalism during our check-in were outstanding, landing us an amazing room with a breathtaking sea view and balcony! I also want to express my gratitude for all the excellent dining suggestions he provided us. Thank you Nigel!

1. The Oceanus Shopping Mall is not fully operational. However the 3 convenient-marts along the corridor did help. 2. The bathroom walk-in closet is fantastic. More lighting in shower and vanity area will help in attending ourselves. Sofa and carpet looks pretty aged. It will be good if there’s a sofa cover (washable) to rest on, feeling more fresh and comfortable. The tv top quarter screen illumination is dark-shaded, uneven one-sided brightness. But tv channels are pretty fantastic. The phone, “At Your Service” button is not working. We have to go to front desk to order food. 3. If there’s poster/notices at the concierge corner, it’d help to remind us on local tours and attractions to explore. We overlooked some important tours. 4. Services and attentiveness are pretty sharp and impressive, by the hotel gentlemen. Especially Nizam, the Teh-Tarik guy at breakfast, the breakfast manager (i think?), the Chinese spectacled guy receiving us from Grabs, and also Suhayl. All are sincere, polite, calm, and relaxing cool vibes. And the fair big (fat?) chef, that cooked my char kway teow to “perfect” flavor, only got him once, then he’s gone! (Why?!) This is the most homely feel to us. So keep up snd well done! 5. In future, we hope for a nice developed walkway, from hotel all the way to Suria Sabah, and to Imago Mall. We do enjoy our walks. But the area’s touting activities: massage services and seafood, feels rather intrusive. Otherwise, local tours are pretty refreshing.
