Hotel berhampiran Bukit Cecily hiking rest point, Sandakan

We got this location on a cancellation by another hotel and couldn't have been more pleased. Our Junior Suite was spacious and comfortable. The buffet was excellent and dinner at the Chinese restaurant on 1st floor terrific. Not Halal certified (i.e.: Pork and liquor served here) we enjoyed the dim-sum brunch on Saturday. The evening entertainment left everyone happy with pictures to remember the performance. The owner is a fantastic host. Limited English programming on TV. A destination in itself.

The staff there is very friendly and warmly welcomed me. The host gave me really helpful tips for my onward trip. The rooms are clean. There is a kitchen and a refrigerator. Also there is a fitness room, very nice. A beautiful designed hostel with nice people working there.

Central in the main town, great base for day tours to the parks/sanctuary/River. Few options for food along the waterfront. Sandakan seems a quiet town with a few tourists but mainly local (v friendly) population, clearly a short stop/jump off spot. Options for 'drinks' are few - this is a no alcohol establishment, but there is a roof bar 3 mins walk for an evening beverage (the baling Hotel roof). Very clean..comfy bed, great aircon and hot shower. For the price the included breakfast had fresh fruits, to order omelets /eggs/ rice/ noodles and toast. No complaints!!!

Lokasi yang baik berhampiran dengan tempat yang kami ingin pergi. bilik bersih dan perkhidmatan yang baik oleh kakitangan. Mudah untuk mencari tempat makan. Pasti akan tinggal di sini lagi!

We stay for 2nights. 1st we got the room with electrical problem, as I request, they able to change another room for me. Lobby was clean. I got the ground floor room right beside the road. The room can hear sound of vehicle pass by, if unfortunately you get the people playing their motorbike then no choice. Nice location, right in IJM. Alot of food and drinks nearby. The room not so clean but acceptable.

Hotel Labuk in Sandakan offers a comfortable and pleasant stay with its modern amenities and friendly staff. The rooms are well-maintained, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploration. The hotel's location is convenient, close to local attractions and dining options. While the facilities are generally good, the decor a bit dated. Overall, Hotel Labuk provides good value for money.

kalau boleh cuci bantal tu sekali sekala, terlampau banyak bekas tumpukkan pada bantal, lain2 so far sangat memuaskan buat saya

We were fairly exhausted by the time we arrived at this very special place, but our tired feet and overheated heads were immediately forgotten. Staying in a spacious stand alone bungalow we were treated like kings from the moment we arrived. This unique resort is small, secluded and intimately designed to be away from the rushing crowds. This is not like a chain resort, so if you want multiple dining options, a shop and a hydro slide you won't find it here. This is not a Hilton, so expect rustic and hand crafted as opposed to marble and plush carpet. People were doing yoga in the garden, meditating on the decks, and generally chilling in comfy chairs. It seemed a very respectful place, so welcoming and one of a kind. Leave your shoes by the steps to the dining area to truly set yourself up for the experience, on a raised, sprawling deck with fabulous forest views - you might even get a peek at some of the wildlife... The breakfast was unfortunately nothing to write home about and poorly serviced, which was kind of disappointing after our delicious dinner the night before, but realistically that wasn't why we were there. We also were required to pay separately for our dinner and drinks but I did wonder if this was operated separately from the accommodation. Our reason for visiting was wildlife and proximity to the sun bears and orangutan reserves. We also visited proboscis monkeys and crocodiles while here. Websites quote that resort is 10 minutes walk to the Orangutan Reserve - my recommendation would be set out expecting 20 minutes unless you walk fast or arrange transport if the heat gets to you. Daughter proclaimed this the most perfect place she has ever been. Hard to argue. We hope to return as it felt dreamlike.

Отель находится в джунглях со всеми вытекающими отсюда приятными и неприятными моментами. Из приятного: непосредственная близость к Центрам реабилитации орангутанов и солнечных медведей, а также к Центру изучения дождевых лесов. 5-15 минут ходьбы. Прекрасная, почти нетронутая человеком природа вокруг. Территория отеля ухоженная и приятная. Номера хорошие с просторными санузлами. Есть кондиционер, который вполне сносно работает. Из плохого: невкусная однообразная еда ( альтернативы нет, мы в джунглях) завтраки съедобные, но не более, плохо обученный персонал в кафе, еле теплая вода в душе по утрам (голову помыть не решилась), отсутствие в номере щеток, расчесок, фена и т.д. Однако, все это простительно, объяснимо, и я бы не стала бы об этом писать, если бы не «вишенка на торте»: просто отвратительные подушки. Кусок высокого плотного поролона, от которого через минуту затекает шея. Уснуть на такой - задача не из простых. Условиями джунглей это издевательство над посетителями объяснить сложно.

What I liked a lot: Well situated to visit main attractions in Sepilok: Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre/Sunbear centre/Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC), free shuttle bus to the main attractions (09h-14h-16) which was really great. Also offer tours at reasonable prices e.g. Mangroves & Firefly Cruise (recommended). Free water dispenser. To note: rooms are very basic (there is airco), we had some ants in the room, bathroom is outside. Breakfast was limited and minimal. When we were there internet was not functional, luckily we had taken local simcard before with unlimited data so for us, this was not a big issue. Before coming to the hotel, I had sent a mail to have info about tours they offered, but never received a reply therefore I had booked tours with an agency which in the end was more expensive then when I would have it booked with Paganakan Dii Tropical Retreat. Possible to book tours on the spot (no need to reserve before coming) but I did not know this in advance.
