"Perfectly located for the Sepilok orang utan and Borneo bear sanctuaries! Also the RDC! The hotel is set in a beautiful location and is full of stunning views! The owners were very welcoming and willing to share their passionate stories about the hotel! Breakfast was good - different on both mornings. Tasty and light food to set you up for the days! Dinner was also good - nice menu catering for everyone. The rooms are clean and simple - just how they should be in a rain forest! "

"This review is for the private room. Our room was nice with 1 Queen bed and a bunk bed. All beds had netting in good condition and the view was excellent. Our private bathroom was almost outdoors so that made for an immersive experience. Food was ok; the amount of protein was in some dishes very small and the menu never changed but it was cheap. Breakfast was included and was eggs, 2 white toasts and small amount of fruit. Plus tea or coffee. The big buts we’re maintenance;e.g. door latches...

The Elopura Hotel

The Elopura Hotel

8/10 Good
"We wanted a mid priced hotel near the centre of town/ waterfront. The room had everything we needed. Enough space to open two suitcases. Comfy bed. Good towels. Kettle and tea/coffee making. Separate bathroom. The shower was good. We did notice the silicone around shower glass was very thick, amateurish, but it worked. We used the waterfront restaurant for breakfast and it had a decent selection, including an egg station. We also had one meal in the rooftop area with views down over the harbour. It is close to other waterfront restaurants. Its opposite a large multistory mall with many food, grocery, pharmacy, clthing stalls. Behind that there is a laundromat and the wet markets. We enjoyed seeing all the fresh produce including the fishing boats return. Parking is out the front and regulated by the hotel staff. We hired a driver for two day to go out to all the atttractions , Lobock Bay Probiscus Monkey Sanctuary, Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre, Sun Bears, Rainforest Discovery Centre ( including return to collect us at 8pm after night walk) as well as temple, SinmSim Water Garden, Sandakan Death March Memorial, Edith Keith house and museum. We thought there was a lot to see and do and just needed a good bed before our tour to Sukau and Utan for wildlife. "
