This was one of the best experiences we have ever had. The lodge is very beautiful, rooms are super nice and comfortable. You get AC and also hot water for showering. The dinning area is very nice and clean. Talking about food, it was amazing, all you can eat buffet, they feed you very well. There is coffee, tea, and water 24/7, the coffee was really good. They provide juice as well during the meals, fruit, lots of veggie options and usually 2 different proteins. We also saw veggie options for people who requested them.
The activities are super cool, the cruises were great and the walks too. We managed to see 4/5 as we missed the Pygmy Elephants. My only criticism for the place is that they don’t use radios to let each other know if something cool was found. We were a few minutes away from the elephants but since we didn’t know, we didn’t see them.
The staff were all super friendly and very knowledgeable about the river, animals and plants. I want to give a shoutout to Hakimi as he took really good care of us during the cruises. Also, they have a space on the second floor with history and local artifacts, I would recommend listening to the guided tour.
We really loved our stay, specially for the price (about $200 USD per person for 3D2N if you get it directly from them). They picked us up in Sandakan and also dropped us at Sepilok, all included in the price. We will be coming back to see the elephants at some point and we will stay here again!
