"We stayed at this resort for 3 nights in December 24. We had a fantastic stay! The staff were brilliant and go out of their way for you. Restaurant food and drinks menu was fantastic and the whole resort was well cared for. As it was my birthday during our stay they decorated our room as a surprise which was a lovely touch! We would definitely come back!"

"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."

"**ROOM 102 (01–02 JUNE 2025)** This was my first time staying at this hotel. Based on recommendations from social media friends, this hotel was said to be the best in the area. However, after staying here, I found the room to be quite ordinary. It is recommended that the hotel management consider renovating the room design to align with current interior design trends. To maintain guest comfort, there are several important aspects that the hotel management should improve: 1. CLEANLINESS * Bathroom tiles are moldy and have an unpleasant odor. * Exhaust fan is dusty. * Toilet window frame is dusty. * Window glass has smudge marks. 2. FACILITIES * The air conditioner is very noisy and not sufficiently cold, even when set to a very low temperature. * Curtain railing is not well-maintained; the room remains bright even when the curtains are closed. * No bidet hose provided. * The restaurant during breakfast is quite cramped despite a large number of guests. * No iron and ironing board provided in the guest room. * Peephole does not have a cover. HIGHLIGHTS 1. A safety box is provided. 2. Coffee amenities are available. 3. Fast WiFi connection."

Everything worked as it should and despite the noise from below it was actually quieter than expected. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly and accomodating. Would definitely stay again."

MmarymA great value option for a short stay in Sandakan. You need to get a grab taxi to the main part of town. The room was spacious but there was a bit of a smell. It was great to have air con for such a budget price. The Mubarak restaurant nearby is cheap and tasty. There's a supermarket across the road.
