Sepilok Nature Resort is a nice place. The rooms are slightly dated, but clean, large and the air-con is a welcome luxury after a day out in the humidity.
We found the staff to be wonderful, and the food was fairly basic but tasty.
As a lot of other reviewers have stated, the location is good for seeing the orangutans. It's an easy five minute walk to the reserve, and you can therefore check out the morning feeding time (10am), have lunch and relax at SNR, then come back for the 3pm feed (which is quieter, as there are less tourist buses).
The only complaint we had was that SNR was kind of difficult to book. For some reason, they don't seem to take bookings directly, and we had to go through a tour operator (even though we just booked the accommodation and didn't worry about any tours).
For a great experience, take a 25 minute walk from SNR to the Rainforest Discovery Centre - it's well worth it. We saw a pair of hornbills, and even though we're not avid bird watchers, we really enjoyed seeing these majestic birds flying through the forest. The raised walkway and towers are a good idea, and they give you a birds-eye view of the surrounding forest.
