  • 어디에서 찍어도 아름다운 사진을 찍을수있는 곳입니다 나무와 건물,풀장과 바다가 너무 잘 어울려요 내부는 오래된 느낌을 간직했지만 직원분들은 모두 친절하셨어요 저희가 일행과 함께하고자 늦게 예약을하다보니 연박을 못 해서 3일은 매일 다른방으로 예약했는데 매일 체크아웃,체크인이 번거롭기도 했지만 직원분들의 따뜻한 미소와 친절에 감동했습니다

  • 오래되어 꿉꿉한 냄새와 낡은 시설는 어쩔수 없엇어요 체크인시간도 아주 오래걸리구요ㅠㅠ 하지만 친절하신 데스크직원덕에 만족했습니다. 여기 최고는 알프레스코에서의 선셋입니다..👏🏻 다음번에 간다면 선셋때문에 갈 것 같아요. 파스타 맛잇어요

  • 여기는 클럽룸으로 무조건 이용하시길. 클럽라운지와 클럽룸, 수영장 모든게 완벽했고 만족스러운 여행이었습니다. 코타키나발루 하면 마젤란수테라리조트만 생각날거같아요.
