First of all, there is no shop to buy the SIM card in Sandakan Airport, the nearest place is 7/11 which is in 5 min by taxi. Next stage of the quest is that you will need to ask someone to share the Wi-Fi with you since you must register your SIM card by yourself online. Perhaps, buying the SIM card in Kota Kinabalu will be the best option.
If you are going to Sukau area, do not consider buying U Mobile SIM card - it will not work there completely.
I would not recommend to have a food at any of restaurants at the seafront: meals will be overpriced and in most of the cases not even edible.
Tours to Bornean bear and orangutan parks will be at least 3x cheaper for you than suggested by TripAdvisor if you will just use Grab taxi to reach it: both parks are located at the same place. Firefly tour is also costly and not really impressive: do not expect to see too much, if you cannot resist to go there.
Pasir Putih Beach could be nice place if the beach was visible under the layers of garbage. Don't recommend to waste your time for it.
There are a lot of beggar kids at the central area. I don't know if they can steal anything, but I guess it makes sense to be careful.

Sandakan is not a city brimming with character and charm. It is OK and you can find a small number of nice enough places to eat and drink, if you set your mind to it. I would not want to have stayed there more than one day and I won’t be going back anytime soon.

We used Sandakan as the gateway to Turtle Island and the Kinabatangan River. We had lunch in a central hotel which was fine, not a lot for vegetarians but the service was good.
We could have spent a little longer there, it seems easy to get around.

Great little town, wouldn’t spend more than a day or two here unless you were using as a base to go and see the orangutans and rainforest discovery centre or island tours.
Great water front dinners. Shopping mall and grocery store close to water front. Nice vibe.

It’s my home town and I have lots of fond memories. Fresh seafood paradise and amazing mixed cuisine with traditional Chinese, Malaysian food and Indian dishes. Everything in the food market is super cheap and fresh.
The town centre is looking undeveloped and unloved.

Not much to do in the town or much to see and nowhere very nice places to eat/drink. Unfortunately it is quite run down so book a decent hotel to stay in and make the most of the experiences available in the area.
Our room had a comfortable bed and three chairs. We love chairs in a hotel room. We enjoy sitting in chairs and not on the bed. There is space for luggage. Nice bathroom with separate shower and tub. The room was clean. We loved looking out on the pool… beautiful view.
The restaurants were all very good. We enjoyed each one. Good food. Great staff!
Pool staff were helpful and friendly.
All the staff from concierge to front desk were wonderful. The housekeeping staff was great.
We had a wonderful stay. Thank you.
*People managing this place are simply amazing.. They contact you 1-day before arrival to arrange for your check-in
*Self check-in was so detailed and easy
*Perfect location
*Great value.. Drinking water and refillable water bottle provided ❤️
* Spotless clean, everything works, Great WIFI
* Gives you free guides for Sandakan and Sepilok, and the lady helped me book the river tour in Sepilok.. I wish I could stay longer.. :)
Hotel is very modern, rooms like new and whole place is spotless. Staff are brilliant, let us check about 6 hours early on 2 separate stays. They open the door for you. Tasty buffet breakfast with lots of choices included. Best hotel I've stayed in Malaysia. I'm surprised doesn't have a higher score/rating. Loads of eating places 5 mins walk away is a bonus. Pool also clean and great to cool off.
The hotel had a great view in the reception area as well as from the room. Each room was a separate cabin which had more privacy, we loved it.
The reception staff was very helpful. He sent us to a nice room with good views.
Room was pretty big for 2 people and was clean
We enjoyed our stay in there. Thank you!
I like this place very cheap if u book online and the room is big. Nice and clean... how many times already I stay here.. I'm very recommended this place , hotel very near to all restaurant Starbucks, mcd and bataras .. Next time when we go sandakan we actually book this hotel .
The hotel is set in the middle of a tropical jungle, with a beautiful pool, a well equipped gym that also has a steam room and a sauna! The buffet breakfast was good and the entire hotel staff were excellent, everyone!!!
the location is very good and close to the shopping mall, it's easy to find a place to eat and there are many restaurants nearby, but it's a little difficult to find a parking lot near the hotel..
Fine place in Sandakan! Nice big appartment in a nice complex. The 18th floor was amazing, nice view!! Very clean, loved the soft bed sheets, lots of space! Can recommend to everyone!
Great and Budget hotel. Nice room and comfortable. Just 5 minutes to the main town. Near with the Pasar Malam.
