"I would say to everyone look beyond the bad reviews,the staff are very helpfull friendly and will do their best to facilitatee your reequests.
The facility has changed since some of the bad reviews in that there is piwer during the day unless generator being topped up.
The snorkling around the facilty is good and even better when the turtles pass daily.
The food is good and varied over the 4 nights we stayed.
This is not a 5 star resort so dont look for that level of comfort,but it is a good...
"Very friendly staff, fantastic service, clean and simple room, especially thanks to the rooftop staff, being very helpful and friendly, we had a really good time staying in here."
"Clean, new and spacious hotel, also provide free shuttle services to all jetties. The buffet breakfast was great. One of the best hotel at Semporna I reckon "
"We stayed in a twin room. While not large, it was as expected. The room was clean and the beds very comfortable. Air conditioning was very efficient.
Great value for a comfortable stay where we didn’t intend on spending a lot of time in the room. "

10/10 Excellent
"Can book directly scuba diving here. Excellent choice of scuba diver company they chose as the experience was fantastic!"
"Much better than expected after reading the other reviews. By standards of Semporna, this hotel is very good. My room was very spacious, comfortable and clean. The staff members were nice, but completely failed at the one thing people actually come to Semporna for - information about day trips to the nearby islands. It felt like I was the first person to ever ask them about going to Mabul or Mataking. To be fair all “sales” people in Semporna were like this so not just an issue in this hotel. "
"Don’t really wanna give a review in case too many people going , and get booked out . Hahaha. And if you’re looking for a 5 star service like Sheraton. Go to Maldives! Not here
