“Perfect stay!”
The staff were incredibly helpful and the food was delicious. The villas were gorgeous. So close to the orangutan sanctuary and they will drive you for very cheap!

“Very nice, clean accommodation and close to main conservation centres.”
The property was quiet and clean. The accommodation is close to main attractions in Sepilok and offered lunch and dinner. The gardens around the villas are peaceful with a very nice view point above the forest.

“Pleasant stay at the beautiful resort”
Beautiful resort, like staying in a magic garden. Bungalows are tastefully designed, beds are comfortable and the pool is pleasant. We booked at first a triple bungalow but found it quite dark with a murky smell inside. With no problem very accommodating staff moved us into a new bungalow and brought an extra mattress. It’s a newest resort in the area and very conveniently located with a reasonable walk to the rainforest discovery center. Hotel provides a ride to the Organgutan sanctuary for 5 ringit per person.

“Good, room for improvements”
Four great things about the hotel - the staff are super friendly. The location is great for all the attractions in Sepilok and Sandakan. It’s very pretty, I don’t think the photos do this place justice. The chalets are very spacious

We stayed only one night. We enjoyed the little pool, the beautiful garden along the elevated walkway to the bungalows. Good beds, spacious bungalow. Proximity to orang oetang sanctuary and sun bear sanctuary (1.1 km). We loved the rain forest discovery park and its plant discovery garden and the wildlife (birds, monkets, orang oetang) and the skybridge.

“Wonderful and lovely staff”
Just lovely all round. The staff did their best to make our stay happy and lovely. The room was gorgeous - we were in 30 at first but I mt was a bit far away - they only put us here because they thought we might like it quiet so not to be disturbed by entertainment. We moved to room 2 directly opposite the pool and I loved it! The pool is warm and clean. The sanctuaries are a walk away but we enjoyed walking and would see monkeys on the way. The food was nice and it was all in all a lovely stay.

“Great stay!”
Loved our very short stay here - we wish we were able to stay longer! Our rooms were huge - really spacious and very comfy. Good AC & bug. bathroom. The surroundings were amazing. Walkable distance to both the Rainforest discovery centre & orangutang and sunbear centres although the staff are kind enough to offer lifts to/from for a small fee which we found useful after completing night walk at RDC. pool area very nice & big choice of food in restaurant area. All staff very friendly - thanks again!
