The Elopura Hotel located on the East Coast of Sabah which also known as “Land below the Wind”. Elopura name itself was the first name of Sandakan when it was found by William B Prier back in 1879.

Location was central. No parking provided by the hotel but they gave us a parking after we caught with a bad traffic jam, near festive season. It was a sweet gesture by the security there.

Located in Sabah, The Pavilion Hotel is just a 5-minute drive from Sandakan Airport. The hotel also offers a daily buffet breakfast and rooms with free wired internet access.

Comfortable, clean, good location near the airport which I needed. Good value for what it is.

    Beautiful design inside & out. Perfect place to start our Borneo adventure & celebrate our anniversary. Good mix of tradition in the colonial style building & modern swimming pool

    Everything was wonderful. The staff were really helpful, and they spoke fluent english. The room had just been renewed and everything smelt new. They had amazing decoration, probably with the help of a local designer. They are also pioneers in putting towels as a blankets. Sandakan has been the best stop of my 2 years trip in Malaysia. Wish I could have stayed longer...

    Lovely hotel in a great location on the promenade. Efforts are being made to develop it into a themed boutique hotel. Great staff who are willing to help

    The hotel was extremely lovely,a very nice,spacious room with fridge and tea making facilities plus a very good restaurant providing delicious meals and a lovely breakfast. The swimming pool was exceptional,very well designed and a joy to swim in. Also though the hotel was situation a little out of town it only took a 10 minute walk to reach the center so it didn't feel remote.

    Super clean, main square, helpful staff, very good services and security at the door. Huge breakfast, with many different options. Loved the dinner area near the water and the sky bar was the best in town! Interior design is based on iconic movies.

    My new favourite place on Earth! No words can explain how amazing this place is! Amazing location for exploring the rainforest and Sandakan. Luxury facilities, surrounded by nature. Lovely helpful staff (shout out to Ru!) and great food. Really stunning place! If you need a guide contact Safar 00 60 11 4048 5579 and ask reception for Azahar who’s driven us around Sandakan. Everyone’s taken a great care of us!
