Nice place and best hotel to stay in sandakan

A large, modern, stylish hotel. Good sized, clean rooms with large windows and a balcony. Included breakfast was average, with eggs to order as not on the buffet. Nice pool on the 1st level. Not much around the place but a short walk to an area with a supermarket and some fast food places. A comfortable, good-value stay.

a very comfortable hotel, strategic location, best room service

The breakfast buffet options were really limited. Eg, theres only 1 type of chicken and they put very little amount each batch. Had to wait another batch once its finish. Its not worth paying rm25-30 per head for the breakfast. I suggest you go by foot to the nearby places or restaurant for better food options.  I pick this place mainly for its swimming pool, but after seeing the water up close, its SO DIRTY! You can see a lot of phlegm, saliva, dust, hairs, some trash inside the water with algae. THERE WERE LOTS OF HAIRS during my visit. I felt disgusted by the water pool, pls save ur kids from going into the disease-ridden pool. The hotel needs to upgrade their pool- water filter system. Please. I tried the full body massage service, cost me about RM78, it was okay-ish. Not much to compliment or complaint, it was very average. And they dont use proper massage bed, they use thin mattress placed on the floor. So you cannot put ur face down, u need to put ur face sideways, which made my neck uncomfortable the whole time.  Otherwise room was okay, they need to clean under the bed, as i notice theres A LOT OF trash under the bedframe. The towel seems to be very old, they need to replace it. Looks very worn out.  During my stay, the water pipe had rust in it. It was very rusty for the whole 1 hour, i had to flush it out before the water become usable. Mind you. Theres a lot of positive things about the place too, but a positive experience should be a given, that a basic standards, so i only point out the things that may ward you off from coming to this place if you're like me.  Im travelling with kids, so I expect more quality service. If im travelling alone, i really don't care with the downsides of this place.

Here my honest review for my recent stay there. Food: limited variety Cleanliness : Plate/ cup/ spoon were not properly cleaned. Toilet hygiene did not fully meet expectations. Amenities : Satisfied Staff : Good—friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout my stay Overall satisfied with my experience. However, there were a few areas that could use improvement.
