Kota Kinabalu Travel Guide: 1,038 reviews and 2,697 photos

Dining and hanging out at The Waterfront

I recently went to Kota Kinabalu with my husband for a weekend vacation to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Highlights of our getaway was our stay at The Sutera Harbour, which is truly a magnificent place, and our short picnic in the nearby Pulau Sapi.

Though my vacation here was very brief, I was able to write some informative tips and reviews about the city's activities, food, and establishments. I hope they will be of help to the readers.

This travel, while short, was enough to revive me and my husband from the usual working days. Indeed, I would love another vacation to Kota Kinabalu in the future, and, this time, I will make sure I will have at least one week to experience all the wonders of this capital of Sabah.

Pros and Cons

In a nutshell:Surely a place for relaxation!
