Very much enjoyed our stay at Sepilok Jungle Resort! Good value for money. We stayed 3 nights (1 night at SJR, then Kinabatangan River Cruise 2D 1N, then another 2 nights at SJR). You are very close to the rainforest and the resort grounds are luscious with tropical plants. It’s a beautiful place. Short walk to Orangutang Sanctuary and Sun Bear Sanctuary, which is why we stayed here. Helpful staff can explain the feeding times and where to go. Also walking distance to Rainforest Discovery Centre (about 20 mins) which has great walks. I think it’s better to stay here close to everything than in Sandakan where you need to take a car to the main attractions. You’ll probably eat most / all your meals on site at the Banana Cafe, as there’s not much else around here, but that’s the trade off to stay in the rainforest! The rooms are clean and air conditioned, but the bathrooms are basic - don’t expect too much when you’re not in the city anymore. Grab cars are cheap and easy to get to/from SJR.More
