Very Good
CciaociaociaoI made a last-minute decision to visit Sepilok and, with limited options, ended up booking this hotel. Overall, it's decent, but don't expect too much from the room facilities, as it was built in 2006. I recommend bringing your own slippers and toiletries, as they aren't provided proactively.
However, the hotel environment itself is quite nice. There's supposedly a good trail within the resort, but I couldn't find it anywhere – it might be a very rustic path, and I didn't dare explore further after the rain. It's also very close to the sun bear and orangutan centers, within walking distance. The hotel check-in starts at 2 PM, and the orangutan center's feeding time begins at 3 PM, but the sun bear sanctuary closes at 3:30 PM. So, if you plan to visit both attractions after checking in, I suggest heading to the sun bear sanctuary first. Alternatively, you could visit both attractions in the morning before checking into the hotel.
The hotel's night walk was pretty good; I was initially worried about safety, but it turned out to be quite easy. That said, it's still wise to bring proper gear.
GGuest UserWhat 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.
GGuest UserIt's not far from RDC and the Orangutan Conservation Center. The sanitation is good, the environment is nice and quiet, and the front desk service is good. One thing to note is that it's not so easy to get a taxi from there to the city. I waited for 20 minutes before I got one.
