This was our second visit here. In the 9 years since we were here last many additions and improvements have been made and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip again. The internet in the rooms got a little loopy, but was still acceptable. The general availability of Internet access was excellent overall, considering we are in the middle of a jungle!! A great feature is the proximity to the main attractions, Orangutan rehabilitation center, Sun Bear conservation and RDC rainforest discovery center. Excellent breakfast as well. We really love this place. The people off course are sweethearts.…This was our second visit here.

We had an amazing tour guide who showed us around the island, to the village, the turtle hatchery and other wildlife on the island. We were given cooked meals throughout the day and drinks. Great atmosphere, all the staff were very friendly and accommodating…

We arrived here after spending some time in kinabatangan river. We decided to book for two nights: Day 1: We checked out the sunbear rehabilitation center. Day 2: We dedicated the whole day checking out the orangtuan sancturary. Both locations are 10 minute walk from the hotel. The road doesn't have side walks but its a nicely paved road and the drivers are safe and go slow for pedestrias. The hotel is also next door to the discovery rainforest park, we didnlt check it out but we been told is awesome and includes suspension bridges. That being said the hotel is located in a convinient location. They have a resturant on premise, another resturant/cafe across the street and a very photogenic resturant by the orangutan sancturary called lake bistro or on the lake, recomment going there for a drink or lunch. All in all you can easily spend two or 3 nights here and not feel rushed. The rooms are very clean and beds are very comfortable. The customer service is superb and I highly recommend this hotel. It is also 20 min from Sandakan airport and you can easily hire a car with the grab app with. Is cheaper then arranging transportation via taxi or through the hotel.…We arrived here after spending some time in kinabatangan river.
