Sutera Sanctuary Lodges At Manukan Island

I liked everything! Very cozy chalets, feeling like I came to grannie’s house 🏠, amazing customer service from the meeting at the lobby with welcome drink to saying goodbye 👋 , very delicious food in restaurant, breakfast is big, so friendly staff ( girls at reception and girls/guys in restaurant you are super!) and so beautiful nature! Regretted that haven’t booked 2 nights though. Didn’t have chance to see lizards🦎

One of our best experience. Best part about Manukan Sutera lodge 1) very helpful and friendly staff. 2) i booked 2 rooms. They gave me adjoining room. Super helpful for family with kids. 3) very spacious rooms. 4) sunset viewpoint is a big plus. U get the see the beautiful sunset. But have to walk 1.5km to and another 1.5km back. 5) private beach is helpful for guests so that we don't have to share the public beach with the rest of the visitors. U get to see more fish and corals because fewer tourists to scare away the fish 6) free rental snorkeling equipment. 7) delicious and sumptuous breakfast. 8) easy boat transport. Free overnightt parking at sutera marina club. Disadvantages 1) no data signal or wifi in the room.have to go to reception for wifi or data signal. 2) dinner is slightly more expensive because there is only 1 restaurant, so no other choices. But food is delicious, even for the fried rice (see pic)

The location was great and the staff super friendly. A part of the beach was reserved for hotel guests and was not overcrowded. The team was trying its best to pick up all plastic in the morning from the beach but unfortunately during the day more was coming. People should take more care themselves. You can go snorkeling at the beach but to arrive the corals you need to wait for the tide and have to be a good swimmer. Then it’s beautiful out there. The breakfast was great and a good combination between buffet and menu. Overall we can recommend it for 2 nights. Don’t forget your mosquito repellent and bites relief. We saw several Gerrys;) - beautiful creatures.

Sutera Resort was absolutely stunning. Our villa was clean and comfortable, featuring two balconies with breathtaking views of the private beach. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff. Watching the sunset at the point was magical, and snorkeling and diving were definite highlights of our stay. I highly recommend this resort for a memorable getaway.

Amazing place.. Amazing villa in front if the sea.. White beach.. Coral reef in front of you.. The water of the sea is clear.. Very pleasant place.surrounded by a green paradise!

Firstly I'd like to say the island is beautiful. The water was clear for snorkelling and the weather great. The one thing that I didn't like was the advertised private beach area. The daytime tourists use the beach and the deck chairs. There is no staff to tell them they can't use them. They just come and use. There's not much exclusivity about the resort during the daytime. Evening is better.
