Susan Y on her family getaway surrounded by nature
“Sutera Sanctuary Lodges is always my choice when it comes to accommodation in Kinabalu National Park. A convenient 2 hours drive from the city, right in the heart of the park, exudes with elegance and beauty. Yes the price is higher than homestays and other resorts but the quality is incomparable. You may book months out to get a good deal sometimes. Get the package that includes meals and you will not regret, the breakfast and dinner served at Liwagu restaurant exceeds expectations. The properties are old but gold, Sutera has kept them very well and those of us who stayed here before would not resist to come back again and again!”
Naixy L shared a cozy December stay with family
“Amazing stay, even with a baby. Got the Summit Lodge and the family had a great time! The kitchen is simple with tea/coffee-making facilities and a microwave, but was sufficient. Rooms were warm and cozy, perfect for the cool-weather. Bravo to the staff at Sutera for maintaining the unit so we’ll.”
Ting C reflects on a relaxing couple’s escape
“I’ve been here a few times already. The services and hospitality are quite impressive. The staff’s service is very satisfying, a maintenance staff even helped me carry my belongings. The F&B staff, I believe his name is Adle, was very helpful in accommodating my food preferences, which is great as I can be quite particular. Over time, there have been many improvements and changes, which is a good thing. I will definitely return and bring others along. Great job, SSL team!”
