Buses from Tawau to KK cost about RM70plus but they leave only in the evening and takes 8 hrs. Any idea how much it would cost for a private taxi/bus/car for 3 people? Would it be faster also? I emailed some travel operators but no response from them. Any contacts?

Hi, I have a client who is looking for a characterful guesthouse style accommodation in Tawau & Semporna town. He is fairly old, does not use the internet and business style or luxury hotels. I have been searching all day but to no avail and now I need help. Can somebody advise me? This is urgent, thank you!

Hi all, still putting the finishing touches to our 2012 holidays in March. We are considering visiting the islands around Sipidan and staying on one of them for a couple of nights. We want to experience pristine white sand beaches, good snorkelling (no diving lthough we understand this area to be the finest in the worl, and good dining at the chosen resort. The Islands we are looking at are Mabul,,,Mataking,,,,,Kapalai,,,,and Pom Pom,
Any comments on these islands or other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
We will be staying at Tawau for a couple of nights before going to the Islands
Many thanks for your help

I have a small group of 6 pax and intended to travel by road from Tawau to Sandakan and back from 11th to 16th April,2011. Should I joined a local travel agent tour or should I rent a van and head for Sandakan. As I have booked the Sabah Hotel of Sandakan.

Hello, im khairul.

Next week i will go to tawau for 4D/3N, but still not find the an accommodation. I want the accommodation near with beach, can sight seeing with my wife. can you recommend the better hotel or resort for me at Tawau ?

anyone knows hostels in Tawau? i tried to search for one in hostelword.com nothing's on their list

I'm planning a dive trip from Tawau, possibly but not necessarily Sipadan. Net seems to be full of operators offering expensive package sin USD. How are the things in Tawau itself.. if I just get a flight there and start looking, what am I likely to find...?

What other good stuff is there besides overprized Sipadan..?

Cheers,
Mike

I would like to fly from KK to Tawau and visit the cocoa plantation. Have any of you guys and gals got any information on how to get to the platation - how to arrange a tour or other tips? I will probably stay at Marco Paulo hotel over night (or two nights?)
Many thanks in advance
