"Everything was good"

Ormond Sandakan

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was wonderful. The reception team is fantastic. The rooms are spacious, clean, and very well maintained. The breakfast was excellent, with a great variety of dishes to choose from. Practically all of the staff speak English. Aiman from the reception is an angel who explains everything and is extremely dedicated to providing excellent customer service. The gym is clean and well maintained, and the pool is wonderfully clean as well. I will definitely come back! Best regards, Dorota"
