Semporna

Almost completed my 6N5D trip with my family of 4 with 2 teenagers. We had a great hospitality from the diving coaches but feel a great pity that the resort mgmt has wasted a great jewel and have not lived up to its luxurious potentials (maybe due to COVID and the resort had to furlough majority of the staff for over 5 months within the last 2 years and it has yet to recover). First, I was impressed with the photos seen on social media and decided to book this (supposed to be the BEST and most expensive resort near Sipadan) First, the jetty transfer in Semporna was smooth but there were plastic trash all over. If the company wants to portray a good image for international tourists, probably should first clean them up? Once arrived at Kapalai, the welcoming process was subpar. There was no receptionist welcoming us, and we were a bit lost. Since it is lunch time, we just straight dive into buffet lunch. Then, a staff clumsily come to offer a glass of diluted sugary orange juice and we were left there. After almost 1.5 hours, we were reached out by diving coaches about our program (the adults were taking advanced PADI open water, and the kids were taking junior PADI open water) Once we checked into the room, overall “hardware” appears nice, but after staying for 6 days some basic problems surface 1) No intercom/phone in the room - since we are at the far corner of the resort and it takes 10mins to walk to lobby, we sometimes need to call buggies. But we were only given a local phone number to call, and the mobile/cell reception is bad here 2) No proper shampoo and conditioner - for my ladies who have long hair, assuming this luxurious should have this basic provided but they don’t 3) Broken chair in the balcony and water dripping out from air condition unit In term of food at the restaurant, it was ok-ish but there are so many opportunities to let the tourists spent more. No wine, no ice cream and no a la cart ordering. The local store has limited daily necessities and it is essential to well prepared before coming. Lastly, for this type of resort, you will see the general manager walking around to ensure all are good in place. I have not seen it over 6 days and the receptionists all seems junior and lack of international experience/exposure to hosting well travel international guests. In term of diving experience, I can feel that the diving coaches and staff have done everything they can to put on a smiley face. My teenager girls have a GREAT experience on their junior open water (OW) experience (with Linda Ho, thank you!) but less so on the advanced open water. (AOW). I feel a bit rush on the AOW but don’t feel the knowledge has sunk in and that is a real pity. Something to be improved. Many of us really want to learn, rather than just get the AOW license in order to dive in Sipadan (need at least AOW to dive there). Have been diving around the world, I would say the diving experience is world class. Water is generally clear and Sipadan is truly

Had a really good stay here!!! From the boat transfer from Semporna Jetty to the resort, the staff were very attentive and helpful. Upon arrival at the Water Bungalow, I was welcomed with a welcome drink and a brief introduction and orientation of the facilities and the amenities was given by Jasni. Loved the spacious room and the stay was very comfortable. Sea nomads come by daily and offer coconuts and fresh seafood. If you are willing to buy they will be very happy; if you are not keen, just decline politely and they will leave you alone. Meals here were great, there was a variety of mains, fruits and desserts available. The compound is also very beautiful and the view is breathtaking at every corner. Indeed more expensive, but you are paying for the resort being in one of the best locations. They also provide diving and snorkelling services. The Water Bungalow Housereef is a divers heaven and it has many interesting pelagic animals to see. Truly loved my stay here and I believe I will be back.

The owner of Amina Resort is an overseas Chinese who is very enthusiastic. He waited for us at the pier and prepared lunch for us in advance. In the afternoon, we will go directly from Semporna Pier to Amina Resort, which takes about 35 minutes by boat. There is a small beach near the hotel where you can play on the beach. The most comfortable thing is the hotel's restaurant. After bargaining with the Bayao people, we can eat seafood at sunset. The seafood processed by the hotel kitchen is delicious. Slow life is in good shape. If you want to go diving, you can make an appointment with the hotel’s diving instructor Awei. The hotel bed is huge. All the facilities that the room should have are available. The boss Bobo will also remind you in advance that you need to bring necessary daily necessities before going to the island. Considering that it was our first time to come to Semporna and we were still a little seasick, they even helped us prepare lunch and accompany us when we went on an island hopping trip. The service level was quite high. Overall, the price/performance ratio is quite high for living on Semporna Island.

Wonderful staff and plentiful tasty food. Rooms are over the water and the open-air dining area is as well. The staff can organize snorkeling and diving trips or you can snorkel right off their dock all the way out to the reef, an amazing amount of life in those waters including one day where we could see 5 huge green turtles at one time. There is a bit of trash on the seabed, unfortunately, but the fish make up for it. The snorkel trip to Kakalai was nice to see a different island area and the trip to Sipidan was simply astounding - very expensive but worth it (snorkeling with 1000 Black Jack, 15 huge Bumphead Parrotfish and a huge Napoleon Wrasse - Wow). You can also buy local fish from locals who come up to the dock in their boats and the kitchen will cook them up for you (the mantis shrimp and the crab were some of the best we have ever eaten). Note that there is very spotty phone service and no internet, so be prepared to disconnect and relax. We will come back here on our next visit.

We spent 4D3N at the resort and the overall experience was simply wonderful. We took the one day Bohey Dulang island hopping package and was assigned Dive Master Yusof as our guide. Yusof took good care of us and he made our hiking and snorkeling experience so memorable. The staffs were friendly and helpful. The itinerary/activities were well organized and coordinated. Our room was clean and comfortable for 3 pax. Food was good enough. BBQ dinner was yummy. The meals would be more interesting if we could more choices of dessert. Eg. Ice-kacang, sago pudding . We are glad we stayed at this resort because we were able to appreciate so much beauty nature has to offer (from land to under the sea) through your facilities and hospitality. Terima Kasih. 🙏🏻

Before I checked in, I compared it with a few net red island accommodations in Semporna. Xinjia Motor is not an island, but a water house that is only 10 minutes away from the town because we always wanted to be on an island with land. Accommodation. And we have compared the prices. The ocean view room we live in has double ocean views, and the facilities are better than the new ones. The price includes the round-trip boat fee. It costs one hour to sail one way, three meals a day, and the restaurant regularly does BBQ every week. He sailed three times a day and went to sea to Kapalai. It is really cost-effective to see sea turtles on snorkeling. After arriving at the store, the workers will take the initiative to go to the dock to help us with our luggage. We do n’t need to do it by ourselves. After going to the front desk, the workers will also help us to pull our luggage to the room. . In addition to going to the sea every day, there are also water slides and motor boats in the store for guests to entertain. The slide is free throughout the day and the motorboat is MYR 120 for 10 minutes. The only thing that is a bit inadequate is that the platform is piled with building materials, and there are four new sea-view water houses next to it. It's gone. Go out to sea to experience deep and snorkeling. The diving suit provided to the girls by the deep dive is super beautiful, and all we shoot are blockbuster feelings. You can see the shipwreck. Turtle, big grouper, school of fish storm. Already scheduled to take another dive certificate next time. The only thing to pay attention to is to communicate with the customer service in the store after booking and send the passport information to the customer service so that you can buy the dock tax in advance. We just don't know, delaying sailing time. Mabul Island in general can play for three days and two nights, and live well. Recommended

An independent island with a very good environment, suitable for vacation Basic snorkeling and sports are provided, and three meals a day are provided, which is good food. The natural environment of the hotel is very good, but the hotel hardware, hygiene and details need to be improved. However, children will be charged an additional 50% of the room rate, which is not very cost-effective. But the kids still had fun Getting in and out is quite difficult, which may be a common problem among all islands in Semporna, so make your own choice.

When I was doing the strategy guide, I saw someone mention this homestay because there is a communal kitchen for cooking, and I made a decisive decision. For the three nights in Semporna, only 2 of them were booked. This is too popular. When I arrived, I found it was really worth it. The environment of the homestay is very good, and the sanitation is very clean. There is a complete kitchen and condiments in the communal kitchen. There is a big yard for drying clothes. The housekeeper is very nice. The boss I happened to meet was the boss wife. In the morning, they drove us to the pier. There is also breakfast. Really great value for money. I changed 3 hotels in 7 days in Sabah, and this one is the most comfortable and cleanest. Same as my own home.

My friend and me booked 2 rooms in total and stayed 4 nights in. Opposite 7 inn there is Basar malam, a Mcdonald, a cafe opposite and a gas station with mini mart, living here is convenient. However it’s a bit far to the harbour by 1km. So, they provide free transport to any potion of the town area, just WhatsApp the driver and he always turn up to pick up us on time! We called at least 5 times of pick up service as considering 7 inn was around 1km from harbour that every excursion starts so by walking it will be 10-15 mins. The container room is spacious with a lovely balcony with 2 chairs. Shared toilet and shower is located at each storey and with like 3 showers and 3 WCs. Bed is spacious and with good pillow and mattress always make me fall asleep easily. In general, I do appreciate 7 inn although I did not encounter many tourists during my stay due to Covid and the entire semporna looks still not yet recovered to before. By the way, 7 inn do not provide drying cloth service but they will send you to a nearby laundry to do washing and drying if you need it. This is very important as our clothes are unable to dry up during our entire stay although 2 of the 4 days are sunny day…

A very wonderful water house experience. First of all, the boss answers questions very attentively and seriously. Every detail is considerate for tourists. Both pick-up and drop-off are well arranged. There are three meals a day. The breakfast, lunch and dinner taste good and the ingredients are fresh! There are also arrangements for afternoon tea! In the snorkeling area arranged by the boss, you can see a lot of corals and small fish, and you can have a panoramic view of the underwater world. The waters are more beautiful than the island hopping we arranged ourselves. There are two beds and a sofa bed in the room, which is more convenient for bringing children. You can see the sea view from every window, and it is also very pleasant to sit on the balcony!

The Jelly Sea is truly a real Jelly Sea. There are eight water houses built on the sea rising slowly on the sparkling sea. My wife and I’s honeymoon trip started here. The three-day and two-night trip was really pleasant. Not only Not only is the boss amiable, but the Malay people at the resort also speak Chinese. When you come to Semporna, you can communicate without any barriers at Jelly Sea. This time we chose the Ocean Park Battleship Island route on the second day at Jelly Sea. The tour guide cooperated by Ctrip also specially came to the island to pick us up, which provided great convenience. If you go to Ctrip abroad, you can complete the entire journey without any problem. In addition, let’s talk about the decoration of Jelly Sea. It is newly opened in August and the standards are all We came here as a 5-star hotel, and you can go into the water in the room. But because we were also island hopping and snorkeling the next day, we just had a little fun at the resort. There are a lot of starfish on the seabed that you can pick up and watch. There are a lot of them. The little fish will surround you and make you dream about

At check-in time in the afternoon, the aircond is very strong and the fan is on It's a cold night, I don't even turn on the aircon haha, just turn on the fan. Amik seaview is ok. The bathroom floor is stagnant. Breakfast is not from the hotel but outside, you can choose between 2 restaurants, but the two Chinese restaurants are not sure if you want to eat even if they only have toasted bread on the menu with another menu of curry noodles/mee soup. Choose one Muslim shop and one Chinese shop, then the choice is correct. These are two Chinese shops. Add the Qibla direction in the hotel room. The location is close to the jetty, he just took the boat to the island. The staff are all ok, good.

Wing Tat Grand Hotel
4.3/5115 Reviews
Semporna
|0.35km from city center
One of the most comfortable hotels to stay in Semporna. I regret not booking a later date. If I do, I won’t be able to book it. It's a few minutes' walk to the pier and a few minutes' walk to the seafood market. The service and atmosphere of the restaurant downstairs is 20rm per person, which is comparable to that of domestic steakhouses. First, let’s talk about the supporting facilities: the hotel has 4 floors in total and is relatively newly decorated. The first floor is the reception hall with an elegant rest area. There will be staff to open the door to greet you warmly and help you carry your luggage. Next door is a cafe and dining room with an elegant environment. The area is also open to the outside world. There are guest rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors. There are many rooms. Our 300-per-night double room with breakfast for two also comes with a single bed. It has a lot of space and a long table, which is great for putting things. It has a hairdryer and a clothes drying rack. The room faces the sea and has a balcony. The fourth floor is the breakfast room, which has a rich variety and good air conditioning. It has Chinese and Western styles, which are very suitable for Chinese tastes. There is also fried rice noodles, where you can eat while looking at the sea view. Transportation: It is very close to the pier, about 600 meters on foot. Even if there is no car to pick up and drop off at sea, it only takes a few minutes to walk there. It is also very close to the seafood market, which is also a few hundred meters. There is a relatively large convenience store downstairs, which is more convenient for buying water and daily necessities. Let’s talk about the service: they can communicate in Chinese, which is very convenient. They greeted us with a warm smile throughout the process and helped us with our luggage. When they saw us using our mobile phones to find navigation in the lobby, they would proactively ask if we needed help, and they could shuttle us to the pier and back to the hotel for free. Let’s talk about the food: The food in the restaurant downstairs is the most comfortable meal we have had in Sabah and Semporna. The environment is elegant, the taste is very in line with Chinese tastes, and the presentation is beautiful and exquisite, and the price is affordable. A portion of pasta or rice with meat. The set menu only costs 10.09rm, and the same chocolate frappuccino from Starbucks only costs 10.09rm, and it’s still a super large cup. There are many choices of various drinks, which is really cost-effective. The taste is great! The only disadvantage of this hotel is that it faces the street and is noisy with cars coming and going. However, most hotels in Semporna and Sabah are facing the street and will be noisy. This is a common problem. During the more than a week we were here, the hotel was noisy every day. This problem occurs in different hotels I have stayed in. Fortunately, the rooms are relatively large and have windows, so the ventilation is quite good.

Stayed at Semporna Haifeng Hotel for one night and moved over for 3 nights. The room is small and the bathroom is large. The furnishings in the room are simple, but the bed and pillows are very comfortable to sleep. The inn is in an excellent location, very close to the meeting point of the lazy cat island hopping tour. Several seafood shops with net red check-in are nearby. The boss is a Malay overseas Chinese, helpful, good communication, and can give you many good suggestions for local travel. Of course, you can also book island hopping and airport pick-up and drop-off at him. In short, it is a recommended hotel in Semporna.

At first glance, I feel that the homestay is not very good, but after staying, it feels great, very warm, and very warm. It is a caring homestay with a clean and quiet environment. There is no shortage of restaurants around. The yard is breezy during the day and the flowers are scented at night. Behind the center of the sea, I feel that the tropical rain forest is the right choice. The handsome and handsome manager speaks Cantonese. The hotel also has two fixed-point vehicles to pick up and drop off to the town center. Breakfast is different for three days. The free afternoon tea is simple, but delicious. The room Not big and clean. The first time I went to Semporna, I only booked a room. It turns out that the tropical rain forest can also be booked for a day trip to island hopping. Compared with the Internet, the site will be similar to the online booking. So I booked three islands for a day. I thought it was with other people. After joining the group, we found that it was a group of 4 of us, and three of us served us. Among them, diving guides and professional underwater photography of the thin brother Big Fei from the fat world, regardless of snorkeling and snorkeling, all followed to help take pictures, and the little black brother pulled it. The lifebuoy is always taken to watch the underwater world, and the service is extremely considerate. The next day, I reported the deep diving experience to the child. Fortunately, I haven't booked an island hopping tour online before. When booking on the spot, Brother Dafei will patiently explain to us how to play. Summarizing the tropical rain forest, I booked a homestay for two more days.

Upon arrival at the airport, things just went downhill. My wife had booked a ride from Ocean Inn from the airport to their hotel prior to our arrival. Our ride never showed up even after my wife confirmed with the hotel staff. Called them and not one response after several calls. Great way to confirm everything and then leave your customers high and dry. We ended getting our own ride. Ocean Inn hotel is situated in a what I would consider a more or less slum area. I saw multiple locals finish their drinks and then tossed their trash over into the sea when there’s garbage cans just a few feet from them. There’s a lot of garbage sunken and floating in the water everywhere. Countless rats scurrying on the ground and roofs in broad daylight. The area reeks of sewage. When we checked in, the gal in the front didn’t like her job. No greetings. No smiles. No friendly service. Not sure if it’s a cultural thing that I’m misunderstanding. I felt like she didn’t want to help us. Never did. The entrance of the front desk had an overwhelming smell of mothball. In our room, my wife found strands of hair between the sheets and blanket. The room smelled mildewy. The restroom smelled like a heavily used public restroom. The shower pressure trickled. I just don’t know how some of these reviewers gave this place a 3-5 stars. Absolutely baffled!!! Overall, there’s little nice things to say about Ocean Inn except that the AC works well. I’ll let you readers run wild with your own imagination that I’m painting. I would never come back here again. Thank goodness it was just for one night stay.

An independent island with a very good environment, suitable for vacation Basic snorkeling and sports are provided, and three meals a day are provided, which is good food. The natural environment of the hotel is very good, but the hotel hardware, hygiene and details need to be improved. However, children will be charged an additional 50% of the room rate, which is not very cost-effective. But the kids still had fun Getting in and out is quite difficult, which may be a common problem among all islands in Semporna, so make your own choice.

Coco Scuba Inn Semporna 2

Semporna

The room is quaint and not big, but it is practical. The floor is a bit old and makes creaking noises, but it is understandable. The air conditioner is powerful, and family members who are afraid of the cold need a piece of clothing indoors. Although it is above the sea, the bedding does not feel damp. This is very satisfying for people with high sleep requirements. For potential divers, a place to rest and wash is enough, and this is definitely the first choice. One of the joys of island hopping is sailing on the sea, and going up and down the pier is also very new for children. Book at any time and start the next day, and there will be a dive guide to follow to ensure safety! In terms of meals, I hope it can be improved! Thank you Lina and Hemy 😘

The hotel is very new and the environment is also very good, because it is very convenient to stay in the Cool Diving Hotel with a diving certificate. The coaches are very professional. The hotel’s front desk owner, Zhang Zhang, is also very affable. The Kevin owner responsible for arranging diving is handsome and attentive. He’s also a warm guy. He has food opposite and next to breakfast. In the evening, eat seafood and take a taxi to 4 ringgits. Walk for more than 10 minutes. Friends who come to travel to study abroad can directly register for the Cool Diving Center and live directly in the Cool Diving Hotel. All right!

I booked this room because of the extremely high ratings on Kanai Gundam, but it was too small. There was 0.6 meters of space behind the bed and 1.0 meters of space beside the bed. It was about 6 square meters in total, which was very depressing. public toilet. Bunk beds. At 140 yuan, I think the price/performance ratio is very low. The overall score is only 3 points. But two days later, I got a room with a large bed and a private bathroom for 210 yuan.

Pros: The environment is very good, the room is clean and tidy, the boss can speak Chinese, and the best thing is that the shower in the room has a strong water pressure, and I feel very comfortable after diving. Disadvantages: It is a bit far from the shopping area and the pier. Fortunately, our dive shop has a car to pick you up. It will be tiring to walk, but it is relatively quiet and sleeps very comfortably. Semporna is relatively safe and friendly to the Chinese, so there is basically no need to worry about safety. Overall it is recommended

The overall environment in the small town of Semporna is average, so we can’t expect too much. There is nothing in the homestay bathroom except paper towels. You need to bring your own. The toilet is small, the room is small, and the suitcase cannot be spread out. The owner of the homestay is very nice. The reply was timely, the recommended restaurant was delicious, I suggest the boss leave his contact information on Ctrip, otherwise the boss just arrived and the boss is not there, so I don't know how to check in.

預訂仙本那遊玩有點晚了,差點沒地方住了,本來想水屋,奈何春節別想了,轉了幾圈看到這家酒店,原本不敢入住,因為新店沒人點評,抱着試試的心態,下單,入住後發現真心不錯,超出預期,酒店很乾凈,對出門喜歡四星五星酒店的我,還是非常認可的。畢竟仙本那這個小鎮,不能奢求太高😂前台一位年紀較大的,不知道是不是老闆,中文很流利,態度也很好,每天都有去碼頭的免費班車,不耽誤出海,早餐簡單還行,總體評分國內三星酒店規格。樓下有超市飯店,也可以晚上去鎮上夜市逛逛。

Semporna

Cheap but cozy little pod-style hotel. Surrounding area is run-down but the street is located next to a handful of hygienic looking restaurants. Even though the rooms consist of a bed and very little else, the beds were comfy and the AC worked wonders. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly; they helped us book taxis and the island trips. Breakfast includes toast with tea or coffee, free of charge. Noise is a problem, whether it is from building work or the noise of other guests; I strongly advise bringing earplugs. Semporna is a simply awful, poverty-stricken small coastal town but this hotel was a nice, albeit temporary, respite away from the madness outside.

This time is a person to test the diving certificate to see the evaluation is very high and the Chinese boss chose this place to say that the location is very close to the pier. The two-story small building behind the landmark hotel Haifeng Hotel is very clean and hot water is also very good breakfast. It’s a local dry noodle. Sometimes it’s a little small ant, but many inns near the dock respond to such problems. My main point is to say that the boss is really good to leave Semporna’s last day. The boss drove me and Dive shop to meet the small partners to go to the niche's attractions patiently explain the help to take pictures, leave me and buy me chocolate and cookies full of emotions, next to the owner's new lighthouse hotel, there are five floors, feels great, expected to open in June and July It’s really a good fortune. I hope that the boss’s business is prosperous and healthy. I’ve already recommended it to my friends. The photo is a photo with the boss and a photo of the help.
