We had a horrible stay in a supposedly "luxury" resort in mainland Borneo: full of noisy tourists, low quality food and dirty beach. So imagine our relief when we finally reached Landayan which truly gives you that robinson crusoe feeling. I hope they stop building chalets though (there was some work going on while we were there) as this would... More

i loved everything about this resort. the diving was great - the sealife are on steriods, everything was supersize. the rooms and bathrooms were special and the service fantastic, thumbs up for this place!

We recently stayed 10 days at Lankayan Island, doing three dives per day. The transfer to the island was well-organized and the boat ride took a little less than 90 minutes. The week we arrived, it was relatively quiet which was nice. It gave us a chance to get used to the somewhat different diving procedures used there. The dive... More

Although this is primarily a dive resort, we found plenty to do without diving. We snorkelled, swam, bird watched, wandered round the island and got involved in all the turtle activity. This was a wonderful place for turtles, with a hawksbill turtle laying her eggs on the beach one day and baby green turtles hatching the next. We could also... More

We were on the island for four days, we could not believe how beautiful it was when we first arrived! There are around 25 chalets around the island, the chalets are all very nice and the bathroom is large and functional. They all have a large balcony just in font of the sea. There is a restaurant on stilts with... More

We stayed on Lankayan Island as part of our Honeymoon tour of Sabah and cannot express how much we enjoyed our stay. We were on the Island for four days and it was paradise. The journey out to the Island is fairly lengthy, as has already been mentioned. It is worth remembering to top up your sun lotion before you... More

We spent 4 nigths and five days at Lankayan Island Resort recently. We are avid divers and we have dived at several resorts off the coasts of Sabah. We booked through a travel agent in Malaysia prior to our arrival. Pick up time from our hotel at Sandakan was prompt. We were taken to Sandakan Yatch Club where we boarded... More

We found this little gem on google earth while perusing the east coast of Borneo. We noted it had bungalows and went on a mission to figure out how to get there. We booked through Palau Sipadan Resort & Tours who were very helpful, there was delays between messages but on booking various remote Malaysia trips we have found it’s... More
