Tropical Research and Conservation Centre

Guess when you don’t have to pay for accommodation under Expedite’s rewards, the reception is not pleasant. On first stay, we were allocated a room facing the car park and road. It was noisy throughout the night. The room allocated to us was so shabby. No toiletries were given only a bottle of soap. Then we requested for a room away from the road as we will be staying for another night after back from Sipadan, the guy at the reception said he will try but the lady rebuked him. When we were back to stay another night, we were told that all rooms were full until the reception suggested that we paid a small sum. As it was a really small sum, we’re were allocated a room so so much better in condition with all toiletries provided for. However, the shower room were not cleaned properly in both our stays. The breakfast timing were from 7 to 10 am. The food provided were all cold even at 7 am. The second time we had breakfast at 8.15am, the food were all finished, with a few pieces of sausages, beans and a few slices of bread. We set there a while and no food was replenished, we walked out and had KFC nearby. Only good point is that it is near the UTC, a market place where you can find dried seafood, titbits etc. The prices were way cheaper than Singapore’s prices. The vendors will packed the stuff in boxes when requested and most of them are friendly.

Stay was alright.With the price point we cant expect much.
