Stayed at Sabah Hotel - Sandakan, Malaysia.
|
My stay in Sabah included accommodation at the Sabah Hotel, more basic accommodation at Kinabalu National Park and a night in the Promenade hotel in Kota Kinabalu. The Sabah Hotel was the best. Self organised excursions included the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary, easily accessible on my own rather than an organised trip (may attention though to opening times which caught me out). Other organised excursions assisted with regards time in the area which was limited. Kinabalu National Park is a must if you are in the area. Fabulous location. If attempting the mountain don't leave too early as you will have hours at the resthouse where there is nothing to do. Aim to reach the resthouse by late afternoon and enjoy the park first as your legs won't want to the next day. Much is made of the need for a torch on the mountain, my tip would be a head torch, ideal and allows both hands to be free for the scramble.

The hotel is well-located with easy accessibility to Sandakan town and the airport. I made all my tour arrangements (Turtle Islands & Sepilok) with the Wildlife Expedition company, located right in the hotel. I must say that the tours were very well organised with well-trained staff giving you helpful information prior-to as well as during the tour. Sandakan's the place to be if you want a great holiday " in search of wildlife"!

It is easy to acess city center and uphill observatory also beautiful English Tea House, in fact, you do not need to take taxis all the time, there is a local bus stand only 100M to hotel. Also you can take bus to Sepilok there instead of going to town center bus terminal.

I tended to walk (yes, mad in that heat) but it is a great way to see the people and the businesses. Taxis are incredibly cheap. The town of Sandakan is a facinating and lively place..not for the faint-hearted! The Ocean King restaurant was worth a detour.
