Hilton Kota Kinabalu

We took a Grab from the airport to the hotel. There is a dedicated Grab pick-up point on the first floor of the airport, so you don't need to communicate much. It's very convenient. The hotel is in the city center, not by the sea, and next to a street full of seafood restaurants. The hotel is quite new, the lobby is very spacious, and the long string of crystal chandeliers in the lobby is quite dazzling.

The room is quite nice and simple, but there is no view. The view outside the room is blocked, so there is nothing to see. The room faces the main road, but the soundproofing is quite good. There is no bathtub or capsule coffee.

A day trip to Mantanani Island is a good experience. In the morning, we waited in the hotel lobby for the pick-up service. The tour guide was a local Chinese. The water quality at the pier is really good, and you can see jellyfish and many small fish at the pier. Mantanani Island is very beautiful, and the sand is quite fine. After arriving on the island, we put our things down and went snorkeling. There are two snorkeling sessions, and snorkeling equipment is provided. You can rent better equipment on the island, and you can also buy fish food.

There are many fish when snorkeling, but they are not very beautiful. After snorkeling, we had a simple meal on the island, which was okay. There is free time on the island, and this island is quite suitable for taking photos. You need to bring sunglasses because the white sand is dazzling. The island is very suitable for taking photos, and there are many small facilities, which are very interesting.
