Lankayan Island Dive Resort - Sandakan, Sabah

Lankayan is a small island in the Sulu Sea. You can get there by taking a 1.5 hour speed boat ride from PSR Jetty (next to Sandakan Town post office). The only resort on the island is Lankayan Island Dive Resort. There's a permanent military base on the island as well. We booked a 3 days 2 nights stay at Lankayan Island Dive Resort @ RM 990 nett per pax (for Sabahan only; travel from 1st July 2020 to 30th Sept 2020). Package includes return boat transfer, 2 nights accommodations (beach chalet twin sharing basis), conservation fee, full board meals, light snacks and SIMCA (Sugud Islands Marine Conservation Area) fee. This rate is for vacation rate (non-diver rate) exclude snorkeling or diving and related equipment fee. Non diver will be free at leisure on the island for the whole day. You may go for swimming, snorkeling or ocean kayaking.

We stayed in a beach chalet twin sharing basis comes with a king size bed, in-room safe, mini fridge, slippers, drinking water, coffee or tea making facilities, couch, writing table, plug in mosquito repellent, fan, self controlled air conditioning and toiletries. There's a private balcony overlooking the white sandy beach. Our room is very spacious and clean. Bathroom comes with a bath tub and there's an open air outdoor shower as well. It feels great in the shower as the water pressure is high. However, the water heater runs out of hot water very quickly. Most of the times we have to bathe with cold water.

Comfy bed and pillows but the blanket is way too thin just like the bed linen. There's no TV in the chalet but they have a TV room at the central open building. Internet access is also available only at the resort's main building which opens daily from 8am to 11pm. Besides that, there's no mobile phone service as well. It's a good thing because sometimes it is important to relax without the presence of phones and TV. Guest will also have a chance to see turtles nesting and baby turtles released to the sea especially in season from June to September.

1) PSR Jetty to Lankayan Island - 10am
2) Lankayan Island to PRS Jetty - 7am

a) Breakfast: 6.20am to 10.30am
