10/10 Excellent

"Remote location with beautiful scenery. Accommodation was rustic but quaint and comfortable. The staff were extremely helpful arranging outings for the family and helping resolve issues that arose."

Sepilok Jungle Resort

8/10 Good

"Very tired resort that needs some investment. Nothing terrible, but nothing great, other than the location. Pool water was not clear, and only about 9 sun beds for the whole place."

Sabah Hotel Sandakan

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great - we had a junior suite with balcony which overlooked the forrest and the pool. No cushions on sunbeds on balcony but we managed. Great food and lovely staff. Not much to do in local area but would use hotel again as a 1 night stop over to somewhere else."

Hotel Meliden

8/10 Good

"A basic hotel used as an overnight before our Kinabatangan River trip. Excellent value for money and in a good location for us."

The Last Frontier Boutique Resort

8/10 Good

"Excellent location but not for those with fitness and mobility issues. Excellent host and range of activities provided such as jungle walk and river cruise. Food plentiful. No WiFi but good phone signal. Host provides excellent transport to and from the airport as it is 2 hours away."

The Executive Hotel Lahad Datu

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was quite a surprize. Good location downtown with plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. A bit on the old style look but very large room, and very quiet. Everything advertised was there and worked. I stay there again absolutely"
