Good reviews, must be good reviews, five-star reviews.
We are three people, and we booked a triple room. The room is large, with two beds, and the room is very warm and clean. There is also a Chinese housekeeper, and the Chinese communication is completely ok. Every morning, there is a special driver to take us to the pier, and pick us up in the afternoon. When we go to town at night, a driver will also be arranged to pick us up. It is not far from the town, and it only takes more than ten minutes to drive there. After we checked out on the last day, we left our luggage at the homestay, but the housekeeper still arranged a driver to pick us up at the homestay to pick up our luggage, and then take us to town. It was really nice, and I highly recommend itđ
Water Chalet is non-air conditioner room. I dont know that my Chalet is non-Aircon Room so i have to stay in the hot room. many customers complaint very hot especially day time. For meal is buffet style and with variety food. drinking water and codial drink is free. Especially morning is very noisy because of the electric car pass by the chalet. For the view , i agreed with what i see in the youtube. During sunset . it is beautiful and romance enviroment. dues of lack of water. we cant use bath tub and the water shower is very small and i feel like i am staying in no- star hotel. But the hotel officer did tell us because of lack of water. but the transport to the Kapalai is quite frequent and free. this is bonus points. Generally, for couple those are going to honeymood and taking photos are the best to go.
This is a hotel run by Chinese! It is very cordial to meet Chinese people abroad. The store is also very friendly to us. There is a good kitchen that you can use, you can just buy your own food, there is a big refrigerator, and there is a big living room. After a tiring meal, coming here is really like returning home. You just need to talk to the boss about going out to sea, he will arrange it for you properly, go out to sea, wherever you want to go in town, such as seafood pier, small supermarket, shopping, he can take you there for free. Except for the airport, because the airport is too far away, you need to pay for the pick-up and drop-off, and the boss has arranged it properly. Praise the little brother Weiwei (Wei Wei?) by his real name. He takes care of a store by himself. During the peak tourist season, he is busy running up and down. He is very polite and friendly. I heard that he came to help his aunt take care of the store during the summer vacation. He is a boy. She is quite shy, but she takes good care of her guests, arrives as soon as she is called, and runs out of breath, but speaks very gently when she comes to you. If the experience is very good, this little brother's service attitude accounts for at least eight points! The small town of Semporna is not prosperous, but this hotel is considered an upper-level hotel in Semporna! The room is fully equipped, air-conditioned, and has a separate bathroom! This is the point! There are many public restrooms in the town! You don't know how important it is to find a Chinese hotel if you are not good at foreign languages ââin foreign countries! Thank you very much Wei Wei for taking care of us these days, we had a good stay and had a great time! thank you all! I think we will go again! Have recommended to friends.

There are several fruit trees in the garden of the B&B with branches covered with branches, emitting bursts of fragrance. The boss told me that this place is called âthreshingâ! I am very satisfied with the room. I would never have guessed that there is such a modern accommodation in Semporna town.
Breakfast is not bad! There are fried noodles with eggs, chicken sausages, and we also bought seafood for processing at noon. It tastes good!
Finally no need to wait for an hour at the pier restaurant!
It's quite comfortable here and the boss is nice!
With a stay at PANGLIMA RESORT in Bum Bum Island, you'll be near the beach and close to Semporna Mosque. This chalet is within the region of Tropical Research and Conservation Centre and Bukit Tengkorak.
Take in the views from a terrace and a garden and make use of amenities such as complimentary wireless internet access. Additional features at this chalet include concierge services, a television in a common area, and a picnic area.
Make yourself at home in one of the 6 air-conditioned rooms featuring LED televisions. Rooms have private furnished balconies. Digital television is provided for your entertainment. Bathrooms feature showers, hair dryers, and slippers.
It was my first time to experience a water house. The slide went directly into the sea. It was very interesting.
Service: The hotel's arrangements are in place and they can help you solve any problems you have. We booked a charter boat for snorkeling for two people. The instructor is also very professional and will dive to the bottom of the sea to help you catch the fish from the bottom of the sea.
Facilities: As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't wait to experience the slide. At first, I was worried that I would sink into the sea if I slid down. There are life jackets at the front desk, so there is no need to worry.
Free dinner: The dishes are very rich, the chicken is very tender, the crabs are also very fresh, there is crab roe in it, you canât get enough of the shrimps
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 nât 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
Charming and efficient staff, very well-organized diving club, very good restaurant
Perfect

GGuest UserI donât think I have ever written a review of a hotel. I returned home from Semporna after a transfer in the middle of the night, but my heart was still in the water house in Semporna.
It was my first time to Malaysia. I saw that this water villa was new and had high ratings, so I booked it with the mentality of giving it a try. The result was really beyond my expectations.
The thoughtful arrangements made by the Chinese butler, the clean yacht for pick-up and drop-off, and the warm and honest black people all made our anxiety turn into peace of mind.
Along the way, everyone was amazed by the jelly-like ocean, the clearly visible starfish, and the various small fishes everywhere.
The clean rooms, the quiet environment with only six rooms, the fresh and hygienic dishes, the fun of being able to go down from the public area to play in the water and catch crabs at any time, the simple black people who took close care of us while diving and took us to visit the Bajau people, all left our family with a good impression of Semporna and even Malaysia.
Because the sun is too strong and the lighting for taking pictures is not good, let the beautiful scenery be recorded in your eyes and heart.
I highly recommend staying at this hotel when you go to Semporna. It's such a great experience.
GGuest UserAfter looking at hotels for a long time, I finally chose to stay in this resort. I stayed for 3 days. The experience was very good. They also helped us upgrade the room type. The environment of the resort is very beautiful. It is very suitable for friends to travel together. Many people can stay. You can also sing karaoke and play mahjong. It is very close to the town and will arrange pick-up. If you want to dive, you can also directly contact Mr. Luo to make an appointment~ We did deep diving and snorkeling this time. It was very fun!
Mr. Luo is super nice! You can ask him to take you to buy seafood and pick durian! He can help you bargain and choose well! They can directly process seafood here, which is much cheaper than in town and also very delicious!
GGuest UserIt took half an hour by boat to get there. The water quality is good. You can see a lot of fish. There is also a large platform for taking photos and checking in. There are many plants and artificial flowers for decoration. It feels very carefully arranged.
All three meals are delicious. I feel very attentive. I especially like the orchid crab soup. It is so fresh and delicious. It is delicious even if you are slapped.
The room is cleaned very clean. You can look at the sea and poop. Each room has a small balcony to watch the sunset.
There is Xiao Hei who sings very well. He doesn't talk much. It is suitable for people like me who don't need to communicate.
(ps: Protect your glasses and hat when taking the boat. When I came, my boyfriend's glasses flew off directly. When I went back, Xiao Hei's hat also flew off. My boyfriend can only get glasses in town because the degree is high and it costs 368 Malaysian ringgits. I feel a little sad. I stayed for 2,000, and only three households were checked in. It includes three meals for 2 people, snorkeling and round-trip boats. I feel that the cost performance is very high. If you don't want to live in an expensive water house, I strongly recommend trying here
JJi ChengOverall I enjoyed our stay in sky water villa. When I was booking I read the reviews also worried that they are a bit old, so that the houses might not be well maintained. But during my stay I feel like the houses are used but still in okay manner. The best thing for this hotel is that I think they have the best house reef, and you can see turtles at night from your balcany. I went snorkling a few times during my stay I saw quite a few clown fish aka nemo and many fishes and even a sea eel one day. They also provide âgalssâ kayak which you can watch sunset on it. And the best thing they offer is that the tours you book with the villa starts around 10 am, you can just get ready and wait in your room, and when the boat is here the staff will get you from your room, and youâll finish the tour around 3-4 pm which is the afternoon tea time at the villa. Instead of in the town area you need wake up early and meet and wait at the jetty around 8:15 am . And power supply is stable just may be ocassion blackout but it would turn back on very soon. However I do think they need to clean their air con as the one in our room seems very dusty, we had to clean the filter ourselves, they were very dusty. And during the afternoon coz our villa faces the sunset direction the air con feels a bit not strong enough. And the aircon outer unit is installed right at the roomâs wall so itâs a little bit noisy, Iâd suggest why not just use a more powerful window unit instead. The food is so so, but itâs difficult to cater everyoneâs preference for food. The hotel is not cheap and maybe not very cost effective compare to hotels in other places, but to be fair i think if you want to go to semporna, this might be a reasonable option as overall semporna and malaysia is very expensive for tourists. And i higly recommend to stay at least 2-3 nights instead of 1 night to fully enjoy and relax yourself.
AAnonymous UserI donât recommend choosing this hotel, the location is too remote. It is about 800 meters away from the lively area of ââthe town and far away from convenience stores, laundries and restaurants, which is very inconvenient. Most dive shops are at the pier, about 1.2km away. It's not very far to walk there, but there are no sidewalks on the road and there are a lot of cars, so you have to walk in the mud next to the road, which makes it very dirty. There are also a lot of mosquitoes on the road.
The store has a car delivered to the pier every day, but the time and location are fixed. The dive shop I chose is not at the pier, so I didn't use it. I have seen several other hotels with similar prices before, some of which are more conveniently located and have in-room toilets.
The bathroom and toilet are shared and it is not convenient to go to the toilet at night. The toilet is quite dirty. The dirt on the toilet seat is so serious that it cannot be wiped off with paper towels. At the same time, there are many mosquitoes when going to the toilet. The water pressure in the shower is also very low, and there is no cold water if there are other people taking a shower nearby.
There is only one bed in the room and no other facilities. The hygiene situation is okay and the bed is relatively clean. There is a small balcony, but the balcony door is broken and cannot be opened. The only thing worth mentioning is that the bed is very comfortable, it seems to be a latex mattress.
In addition, my room was close to the outside and the window faced the road. People passing by the bus can see directly inside, and the noise is very loud. Every night I wear noise-canceling headphones to fall asleep.
GGuest UserThis is the first time I have reviewed a hotel so seriously. I told everyone about the problems I encountered and prepared myself for the expected events in advance.
Let me talk about the good things about the hotel first, and then complain about the bad things.
Advantages: Ruijin Haifeng has a good location, with convenience stores and seafood restaurants downstairs. It is indeed the best hotel in Semporna. The hotel's infinity pool has a nice view, clean water, and a children's entertainment area. The rooms are of a suitable size and the view facing the sea is also nice.
Minefields:
1. The hotel service attitude is good, but they just don't do anything. I asked for mineral water for three consecutive days, but no one brought it. No matter how much I told the front desk and the cleaning staff, it was useless. They just said: no one brought it. I had to buy it at the convenience store downstairs.
2. I checked into a twin room booked by the hotel, but the hotel changed it to a double room without my permission. After we found out, we communicated with a person in charge at the front desk and asked if we could get an extra quilt. The hotel said: pay more! (RM250 a day) I was speechless. It was the hotel's mistake and they asked me to pay for it. Moreover, the front desk knew that they had changed the room type without permission, but they just asked us to pay extra for the quilt (hotel policy). I asked the hotel to contact the manager, but they said he was off work and I didn't know how long it would take to get in touch with him. Ctrip subsequently intervened, but communication was fruitless. But Ctrip is still very helpful and provided us with a guaranteed plan, so we have to give it a thumbs up. At around 12 o'clock in the morning, when I went to the front desk to argue again, the guy who made the mistake and was processing the on-boarding procedures quietly gave me a quilt. Alas...this is the so-called 5-star service in the local area.
3. There are two strange designs in the room, see the attached pictures.
The shower head in the shower room is estimated to be 1.3 meters high. Men basically have to half-squat or use one hand to take a shower. I don't know what the hotel was thinking when designing it.
There is no plug for the hair dryer on the sink, so you have to move to the water-boiling area to blow dry your hair. This design is speechless.
4. Breakfast is very average, very average, very average.
5. There is no service in the infinity pool, so please bring your own towel when you go there.
The above is my own experience, and I understand the local situation. In order not to affect everyoneâs mood for travel, I share my experience and make mental preparations in advance.
GGuest UserThe hotel is in a great location, with a large supermarket at the door and the seafood market close by. The room is warmly decorated and fully equipped. The key is that the boss is very nice and enthusiastic. We stayed for two days and felt very comfortable. Recommended!
GGuest UserItâs similar to hotels/guesthouses in China, and much simpler than domestic budget hotel chains such as Home Inns or GreenTree Inn. Hotels in Sabah generally feel two stars lower than those in China. The one I stayed in in Kota Kinabalu is owned by Marriott The Le MĂŠridien hotel is also comparable to domestic All Seasons hotels, so donât expect too much.
The sanitation is quite clean, and there are often people chanting sutras with loud speakers in the morning and evening... overall it's not bad.
It is two kilometers away from the pier and takes a taxi for 6-8RM. You can go to the seafood market to bargain for dragon knives, which is quite fun!
AAzieraThe water pressure is really slow for sink & toilet.. for shower is acceptable.. I came down around 7am to checkout but both staff are sleeping at the receptionist areađ I dont mind if u want to sleep but at least 7am u should wakeup already. The pic is a place near to this hotel u can walk 5-10mins..
WWongRichardGood location near the Seafest jetty. Decent hotel with decent sized rooms. Nice sunset view from the room window.
However, the rooms are quite old and the air conditioner is not cold at all. Otherwise the shower water pressure is great. The breakfast buffet has limited options and the food is below average. The egg counter gives pre-cooked eggs instead of made-to-order
The average price for hotels in Semporna is AED 574 on weekdays, and AED 578 on weekends (Friday-Saturday).
