1. Paganakan Dii Tropical Retreat

3 km from Rainforest Discovery Centre

"Amazing place to stay on the edge of the rainforest. Our family room was very comfortable and we had a balcony which had a great view of the surrounding wildlife. The food was delicious and there was a basic but decent selection every day. Close proximity to the Orangutan Rehabilitation and Sunbear Sanctuary as well as the Rainforest Discovery Centre. Would definitely recommend staying here"

Sepilok Jungle Resort

Sandakan

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is very nice for a jungle resort and the rooms are cleaned daily. We stayed in one of the superior rooms and the A/C worked very well. The food is excellent at the hotel and they have beer and wine too. Service is amazing and we even saw monkeys on the property in the middle of the day. Pool is nice when it’s not raining and it’s an easy walk to the orangutan and sun bear sanctuaries. The wifi is also surprisingly very fast, I was getting 60-80mb on average. Definitely would recommend...
