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.

Firefly is a lovely place. The staff are really helpful and it’s in a great natural environment. We had a car so it was easy for free parking and travel to and from Semporna. We left very early to drive to Kota Kinabalu so took a packed breakfast from the breakfast buffet. Lovely place and lovely people.

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.

We stayed in room 1 and it was lovely! Very clean and spacious, seems fairly new. Set in small tropical gardens. Breakfast was also fine. There is a laundry room with washing machine and drying space (free to use). The accomodation also provides free shuttle service a few times a day to Semporna town (you just need to confirm this with them the day before). Their dog is very sweet and friendly. If you don't like dogs, don't worry he does not bother people who don't want to see him!

This place was perfect for my time in Semporna. The location is absolutely ideal for exploring all the best dive locations in the area- really strategically places so you can dive North and South of Semporna. The place is brand new and you can tell- all the dive equipment is excellent and well maintained and the instructors are super professional, knowledgeable and really friendly. The rooms are newly renovated and good value! I am already planning my next dive holiday here!

We stayed two nights at the water bungalow resort. We are so delighted for the free transportation between the Tawau airport and other hotel despite we did not check-in on the first day upon our arrival to Semporna. All staff of the resort were very nice and helpful. The resort was new and spacious with marvelous view. Sea water there is crystal clear and transparent like glass. The resort provided three meals per day. Dinner was exceptionally delicious with amazing seafood.
