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.

10/10 Excellent
"Can book directly scuba diving here. Excellent choice of scuba diver company they chose as the experience was fantastic!"

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
