I had a wonderful stay at Sutera Sanctuary Lodges Manukan Island Resort, where the luxury set against the beautiful backdrop was a treat after my travels. The staff was exceptionally welcoming, and the rooms offered stunning views. The only downside was the boat company for island hopping; they could use a little customer service training. Overall, it's an excellent place for a quiet vacation with fantastic food and exclusive beach areas.

I had a lovely stay at the resort, enjoying the comfort and spaciousness of the room along with friendly service from the staff. The location by the beach was great, but there were some challenges with beach visibility and a bit of rubbish in the water. Despite that, the dining experience was exceptional with great food options. Just be prepared to deal with some minor inconveniences, like Wi-Fi that can be a bit spotty.

Manukan Island Resort offers a lovely stay with charming hillside villas featuring spectacular views. The welcoming staff and good dining experiences truly enhance the visit. However, daytime visitors do crowd the beaches, and the visibility for snorkeling is below expectations. Overall, it's a great spot for a short escape, particularly if you appreciate beautiful scenery and attentive service.

The resort offers a stunning backdrop with beautiful villas overlooking the beach, perfect for families. The spacious and clean rooms ensure comfort, yet there's room for improvement in service speed and the dining menu variety. While the beach location is idyllic, daytime crowds from day-trippers can detract from the experience. Overall, the resort provides a lovely escape, though some aspects could use fine-tuning.
