"For the area of Sandakan that this hotel is in this is a pretty good option if you really have to stay here! I would not recommend the area at all. The staff here were very attentive and friendly. The room was adequate but the pillows were horrendous! Just lumpy lumps of hard sponge! The shower and sink use a pump system which was not smooth at all and you either had a ‘power’ shower or a trickle. The hotel is near the Central Market, Harbour Mall & the promenade plus local shops but don’t get...

The Last Frontier Boutique Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We had the most incredible stay here! Jason and his team really looked after us from start to finish. Our guide Ryan was extremely knowledgable and made such an effort to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible; we paid a little extra to do the morning cruise which was 100% worth it. We were also very impressed with the food which was made fresh and tasted delicious. Special thanks again to Jason who was the perfect host full of warmth and great advice. We feel very lucky to have stayed here and can’t recommend this place highly enough. "
