Tawau Division Hotels with Bars

I had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel in Semporna! The highlight was definitely the breathtaking sea view from my room. The room was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with all the basic amenities provided. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready with a smile, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay. I also appreciated the convenient location, with easy access to the jetty and nearby eateries. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with beautiful views and warm hospitality, I highly recommend this hotel.

Very good stay, they got all the things I need. Breakfast was fairly good but not horrible. The location was not far from town, they have electricity bicycle for rent, and easy to move around.

I am a family of three, and I brought two little girls from my relatives. I booked a standard room and a triple room. The triple room is actually the kind with an extra bed. The price is more than 4,500 per night, which is actually a bit expensive, but there was no way to communicate when booking, so I had to book it this way. From email communication to airport pick-up to the final airport drop-off, it was actually very smooth, which shows that the tourism service of this route is very mature. If Chinese people want to travel to the island of Semporna, they can rest assured. It takes less than an hour by boat from Semporna Pier. After arriving, we are taken to the restaurant for lunch. There are not many varieties of three meals a day, and they are relatively simple. The service staff are very friendly. Outside the wall of the standard room we stayed in is the house of local residents. As long as you stand on the plank road from the pier to the hotel for a while, there will be local people rowing boats to sell seafood and coconuts to sell. Many Chinese tourists will buy seafood to the restaurant for processing. It is very interesting to bargain, which is also an experience. There are also local children playing on the beach, but some will ask tourists for money, and some are very simple. I bravely entered the village and walked around. It was really dirty and smelly, haha! There are also very famous water houses on the island, but they are not together with this resort. You have to walk a little bit, and there is a fee to enter. Let's talk about the sea next to the resort. It is really beautiful. Although the beach is very dirty and there are all kinds of garbage, the sea is really beautiful. You can see the clear bottom by the beach. There are starfish, corals, various small fish, and a veritable jelly sea. We did not sign up for a sea tour to other places. We asked and it was about 65 Malaysian ringgits per person. We stayed for 2 days. We snorkeled at the pier of the resort. The staff was very good. We said we wanted to see turtles, so we dragged a lifebuoy to take us to the place where we could see sea ghosts (actually the water house). To be honest, the quality of tourism practitioners is much better than that of our country. If you don't have high requirements, or are a beginner snorkeler, snorkeling at the pier is actually enough. It doesn't matter if you can't swim. Life jackets, lifebuoys, and responsible staff will satisfy your yearning for colorful underwater time.

The room is dimly lit, but the facilities are OK. The balcony is great. There are many tourists during the May Day holiday, so the shuttle bus is very slow. The signal is indeed not good, haha, but the scenery is worth it. The deep dive costs 520 MYR per person, the instructor leads two, and we saw six turtles!!! The water quality and experience are a lifelong regret!!

The room was spacious, which I truly appreciated. However, the cleanliness could have been improved, as it did not quite meet expectations. Some of the amenities appeared outdated, and a few were not functioning properly. I believe the overall experience would be greatly enhanced with some refurbishment and better maintenance. Nevertheless, I am thankful for the hospitality provided.

The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was suitable for a family and for those who prefer to relax. The view from our room was fascinating and breathtaking. Their food is super tasty. We only need 5 to 10 minutes to access food places and a trip package to Pasar Semporna. We will book this hotel again once we come back to Semporna.

Hotel staff decorated our room for anniversary celebration. Super thoughtful of them. They have different equipments for snorkelling and paddle board for free. Food is great. We had salted egg prawns for one night and steamed prawn with eggs the other night. Some hairs on the bedsheets though... Otherwise the room is very clean. Great air conditioner. There's tour for island visiting and jumping. We joined one for Timba Timba beach, MataKing Island and Pom Pom island. Dived twice and snorkelling for three times. Time well spent with skillful coach and complimentary underwater video taping and photo taking.

Very good, the shuttle bus is not a shuttle bus, it comes at any time Everywhere feels very considerate, there are mosquito nets and mosquito repellents everywhere, I feel safe if I am afraid of mosquitoes The hotel itself is also nothing to say, swimming and lying in the wind in the afternoon is so comfortable Also, the food in the restaurant is so delicious!!! It feels 10,000 times better than many popular restaurants. A simple stir-fried vegetable can be made so delicious that you can't stop eating. It's amazing. There are many types of breakfast and the juice is delicious In short, it feels perfect, there is nothing to complain about. The only regret is that I only stayed for one night. If I come again next time, I will stay in Mr. Bean for ten days!!!

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.

Very satisfied with our stay at Shun Shun! Awesome views, beautiful boardwalks, very friendly staff. Location is nearby the semporna jetty which is convenient (10 minutes). Rooms are nice, modern, clean with a nice balcony and big windowed doors to a view of the ocean. Basic no-frills room, not a luxury villa by any means, cheap furniture and decor. The food is good, mostly Chinese/malaysian fusion. Selection doesn't change much from night to night but they will make you something custom if you want. Communication is good with them on WhatsApp. Power and water 24 hours a day. For alcohol they only have tiger beer for RM10. Note that the free boat has a defined schedule that they set, unfortunately the last boat from shore is early at 530pm. You pay RM100 for a special trip.
