    This resort is at the door of one of Borneo's forest. Close to many of its natural attractions and ecosystems, such as the Ourangoutang, Sun Bear, and Probocsis Monkey. Absolutely amazing!

    Fantastic resort, great location, excellent design, spacious rooms, helpful, polite and smiling staff, very good food. We much appreciated the setting in nature, being close to the rainforest. We were so lucky - after breakfast a mother orangutan with its baby sitting on a tree just beside the outside restaurant.....

    The resort was very close to the sun bear and orangutan centres which were exactly what we visited Sepilok for. We arrived before check-in time but the staff were kind enough to allow us to check in early at no extra charge. We booked a room for 3 people and paid the extra bed fee but were given a chalet MUCH larger than expected.

    Rooms are individual cabins set around a beautiful lake with forest behind. Saw hornbills in the trees on our way to the restaurant. The resort serves a great range of meals with a cafe open between times. Staff are really friendly. Rooms are beautiful with hammocks outside if the mood takes you. The orangutan and sun bear sanctuary are only two minutes walk away. The perfect place to explore Sepilok.

    Beautiful hotel with a resort feel. We had a junior suite with a balcony and pool view. Perfect place to relax after a long flight. Taxis are cheap and easy to get (use the Grab app). We did a couple of day trips - Orangutan sanctuary etc with our fantastic driver Ringo.

    Amazing nature resort with all you need for a relaxing stay. The location is perfect, the staff is friendly, the restaurant is good. But the best is this nature ambience - it is so picturesque and lovely. We enjoyed our stay there

    AeCotel was fantastic. Great location, comfortable room (with seaview) and super, super helpful staff and management. Staff are positive, proactive and go out of their way to make things easy. AeCotel is not a super luxury hotel but price/value is fantastic in providing the basics of a clean comfortable place to stay in Sandakan.
