The room needs renovation, and the ceiling is damaged, which affects the filming. After all, this is a five-star hotel.

Thank you for providing an all-in-one environment for busy professionals like me. A place where I can work, meeting old friends, and at the same time allow my 3 boys to enjoy themselves safely. The availability of both a swimming pool and a small beach, with lifeguards on duty, gave me peace of mind throughout the day. the room was also clean and convinient for us also to enjoy beautiful morning sunrise. I was able to continue my work comfortably, spending time reading and writing on my laptop by the pool, surrounded by beautiful seaside scenery while watching my son playing. The experience was further enhanced by the availability of good food at the restaurant despite busy with customer, waitress e.g Ms Shamira and all were very helpful. Added with relaxing drinks in the evening while listening to live band performances, and quiet moments of healing by the beach, resting on the sofa with the sound of the sea. The staff were friendly and helpful, e.g Mr Alex and the team, who made our stay even more pleasant. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to come again.

Best decision to staycation for 3 days in 2 nights here. This hotel located in Tanjong Aru which is beautiful place, next to the beach. The room is spacious and included with bathtub. The price is affordable comparing the amenities and services provided. Will definitely come here again for my next KK trip. Love it so much

The Magellan has a fantastic environment. The beach is very clean, and you can clearly see sea urchins and small fish. The staff are also great, though the hotel room facilities are a bit old. The air conditioning gets very cold, and the ceiling fan blows constantly; you have to contact the front desk to turn it off. The hotel has a kids' pool and an artificial snorkeling area, as well as a mini-train 🚄 that both kids and adults love! The hotel restaurant is excellent with a rich breakfast spread. At 9 PM, there's even a live band. The singer performed "Tian Mi Mi," which immediately brought back memories for us Chinese guests, haha! 😆

Our small family decided to have a staycation in few hotel/resort and by far Sutera has won our heart. This place is amazing and i suggest anybody who wants to experience this place to stay more than 1Night. The room is still in its Vintage style , tv only has those old channel , there's one bathtub in the room which we loved specially my son,for the breakfast i do believe they can add more choices as they are more korean dishes focused, it'll be nice to have local kuih (hinompuka/pais pisang) other than kuih pisang only.. But other than that, you actually get free 1hour of bike rental on ur stay which we only know when we ask around, it was located right in front of the kids pool , other than that they do have a small train going around from Magellan to Pacific sutera and its FOC!!! I loved the staff energy the entire time, he asked our son to be in his seat as a driver and even let my son press few button and act like he's driving the train!! god bless your fun soul sir!! keep up the good work!! we will definitely be back again soon🥰❣️
