Loved everything about our stay here. The view from the bungalow is out of this world. Food was great and in plentiful supply. The staff are great, Maman and his team are friendly and professional. Loads of snorkelling and diving activities bookable direct from the property.

Property was newly renovated so we had a beautiful new room to ourselves . Bed was comfortable, views were absolutely gorgeous. We even saw a turtle right in front of our room. The owners were absolutely amazing; very accommodating, helped us with everything from booking tours to transport. Food was delicious, and they even helped us haggle for fresh seafood

The staff all friendly and helpful. A nice bonus having free transportation to/from town. The room is small but if you travel light then enough space. Nice hot shower with free toiletries. Lots of self-serve laundry close by. The bed was firm but comfortable.

The resort is situated about 15 min drive out of Semporna, in a plantation. Semporna itself is not a nice town, therefore I was glad I was not staying in town. The rooms are lovely. Very clean, good lighting, comfortable bed, well working ac, soap, toothbrush, comb etc. available. The girl working at the reception is lovely and helped organize transfer from the harbour to the resort (which was free) and from the resort to Tawau airport as well as a last minute trip to Bohey Dulang, Mantabuan and Sibuan. Being so far out of town, the operate a free shuttle to Semporna which was amazing. The reception girl reliably told me which car will pick me up where and when. The tropical garden around the rooms is lovely and the restaurant was good.

The balcony is the best part for a diver with their wet equipments, and it's the crucial reason why I chose here. It took a night and my equipment all dry. The free shuttle between the jety and the hotel is convenient, and the only thing I have to do is to make a single call telling where I am. Though the hallway is full of durian smell from other guests, the room still smell free from it. The room has sufficient international sockets, good.

Once a humble coastal town, it’s now becoming increasingly tourist-oriented. Seafood tends to be on the pricier side unless you’re skilled at bargaining. Diving here offers mostly smaller marine life, especially when compared to the vibrant underwater scenes of the Maldives. Night dives aren’t permitted unless you’re staying at one of the pricier water resorts that offer in-house diving. It’s fine for a short getaway, but there’s not much in the way of standout attractions or culinary experiences.

Semporna is essentially a fishing town and island transport hub. Not much appeal in my opinion other than it being the start/finish point for most Sipidan diving trips; that’s the only real pull for tourists, and unless you are heading out to the islands there are probably other nicer places on Borneo.

The place is not for everybody, very poor people, small homeless children playing and begging around, however I enjoyed the local experience. There is nothing to do here so if you are going for diving you are ok or for an island hopping tour that was very nice snorkelling.

Semporna is a scruffy little town that's trying to up its game but unfortunately has a ways to go. The beautiful outlying islands draw loads of tourists with zero environmental awareness. The local tour operators do little to encourage good practices. The streets and particularly the harbor are full of trash. The locals eat out about half the time so restaurant options are abundant. Prices for just about everything are low and snorkeling and other tours offer good value. If you go to dive or snorkel, please bring up some trash after making sure nothing is living on it.

This is the filthiest town we have visited.

This is the filthiest town we have visited. There is garbage everywhere, including the ocean that washes it onto the beaches tourists come to visit. Footpaths are broken and full of trip hazards as well as being non-existent in some places. Fortunately they drive slowly and avoid people walking on the road. Little children begging is another sad reality. However, the snorkelling is still much better than KK,and you'll get used to the garbage after a couple of days. The waterfront restaurant strip has great cheap seafood.

You really need a local guide to make sure you stay in areas that are safe and clean. If you do your research, there are lot of amazing things to see and explore. 10/10 would recommend island hopping boat tour for a day.

This place is an oasis right out of the caos of the city of Semporna. The hotel is surrounded by nature and very calm, the hospitality and dedication of the staff is unmatched. They drove us wherever we needed to go, booked an island hopping tour for us, made recommendations, cooked home-made breakfast, etc, and in general, kept an eye on us at all times. would 100% recommend.
