"Our five-day trip to Semporna's Glass Sea has come to an end! I was very satisfied with the trip, and the Doris Resort was particularly impressive. The rooms are new, modern, standalone wooden houses with private courtyards, and they're spacious. The toiletries in the rooms are of five-star quality. The hotel lobby is also beautiful, with a leisure area offering first-line ocean views, a karaoke bar, chess and card games, a tea room, and more, ensuring you never feel lonely. The island scenery is beautiful, with a beach and the opportunity to catch seafood. I'm very satisfied with this resort, great!"
"On honeymoon trip, my wife loves this place! Except that Ctrip personnel did not arrange honeymoon arrangements, everything else was perfect. The food is average, but acceptable. I just feel I haven't had enough. Haha"
"At first, I was very nervous when I saw some reviews of the hotel. I was afraid that the food would be bad or there would be other situations, but I was very satisfied with the hotel as a whole. It can be called a small Maldives.
Accommodation: The room is relatively clean and not big, but it is very comfortable to live in, and the mattress is also good. Especially because it is an island, it is very quiet and I slept very well. It is recommended to bring your own shower gel and shampoo.
Food: The taste of the food is very good. There is seafood for every meal except breakfast. Some comments say that the food is not enough. It is definitely enough to eat every day, but there are only a few kinds of vegetarian dishes. If you stay for a long time, you will definitely get tired of it. Two to three days is no problem. In addition, you don’t need to bring your own wine and drinks. There is a corkage fee. You can buy it from the vending machine on the island, which is not expensive.
Play: The hotel is on the coral reef, and you can snorkel at the pier. The corals you see are definitely not worse than island hopping. Then the hotel provides free island hopping and sunset watching. We also provide fishing and deep diving. You can also contact for deep diving. You must contact one day in advance for deep diving. There is also a turtle breeding place behind the hotel, and turtles will be released regularly, but we missed it.
Service: The service is not as good as in China. There are a few waiters who are very enthusiastic, but it feels okay overall.
Overall evaluation: It is especially suitable for people like me who like to lie down. It is best to have a few families together, enjoy the sea breeze, play cards, swim, and watch the sea. The hotel is basically the same as the sand house in Maldives. The service is not that good, but I still like it overall."
"The room is large, with a high roof and wooden structure. Although it is a bit old, it is very clean. I like it very much. The beach is particularly beautiful and very photogenic. You can often see turtles and clownfish. I really like it."
"I saw the turtles in the morning, the symbiotic fish on the back of the turtles, and the headlights at night are very spectacular. It is recommended. At 5 o'clock in the evening, I was lucky to see the turtles released, rowing, snorkeling coaches are very good, looking for small crabs, perfect holiday. The weather is basically not raining, the people are not mixed, the waiters do not disturb, unlike the two next to the day trips, there are many tourists, the hotel guests are actually affected. Overall five-star praise, the most recommended hotel in Bangbang Island. The luggage reminds everyone to remember to check it when I sent it to the room. When I left a travel pillow, I remembered why I didn't go to the lobby to get it. Another thing I didn't like was that the pick-up speedboat was flying fast for a while, scaring the baby."
"This is the only hotel on Pearl Island, and since we visited during the off-season, there were only two people in the entire hotel. After placing the reservation, the hotel emailed us the boat dock, and we called to confirm our itinerary. We asked several people, but they couldn't clearly explain the dock's location. We went to the wrong dock that morning, and immediately asked again, fearing we'd miss the boat pick-up time. We had originally planned to stay at this hotel so we could hike in the nearby National Forest Park, especially from the top of the mountain overlooking Pearl Island. The day before, we contacted the front desk, and they said we'd book the boat the next morning and pay the boat and guide fees separately. The next day, they told us there were no boats to the National Forest Park, which was a bit disappointing. The hotel is certainly nice, with a balcony overlooking the ocean. Starfish and small fish were clearly visible on the seabed below our room. However, snorkeling requires walking to the other end of the hotel, and you need to be careful when descending the steps to the diving area. The water is cool and there are a variety of small fish and starfish. We even saw a sea turtle on the way to dinner. The meals, while free, were mediocre.
Overall, the service is lacking and needs improvement."
