Pavalintang Resort Reviews

I traveled alone and stayed here for 4 nights from 8/4 to 8/8. **Environment:** The resort is so amazing that I wish I could keep it a secret rather than share it with you. Located in the middle of the sea, with no other structures around, you can easily enjoy the sunrise, sunset, and the starry sky every day. During the daytime, you can participate in various water sports, and if you're lucky, you might spot a sea turtle at night. **Food:** Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included when you book the hotel, so there’s no need to worry about meals. The resort offers seafood and local cuisine daily. Please note: Visitors should bring their own snacks and drinks before boarding the resort, as it only provides water, coffee, and tea. **Facilities & Service:** All the staff here will treat you kindly, even if there might be a language barrier (English is spoken here!). If you're afraid of swimming, the staff will accompany you while you're in the sea (life jackets are provided in each room). Each room also has a balcony with a lounge chair where you can relax, grab a beer, and do nothing but enjoy the soothing sea breeze. You may not want to stay in the middle of nowhere like I did to escape from modern civilization, but I truly recommend staying at the resort for at least 2 nights. You'll definitely feel completely recharged! Finally, I want to say that the view is so astonishing that I can hardly describe it with my limited English. You must visit this place yourself.

Good stay, nice view but no chance to see turtles, raining but not provide umbrellas, the worker are friendly and good.

Nice Place to live with. Staffmembers are helpful and keep asking if we would like to have some activities eg fishing We do snorkelling and the water is quite clear and have different sea creatures. Even there is no air conditioner i think the temperature inside the room is ok. Better open the window and doors and the wind can pass the room. The food provided is okay and abundant enough for two people. in conclusion, i think it’s better stay two nights. The accommodation here is much better than that near the pier. Ps the price of island hoping is cheaper in the Accommodation compared to the shop near the pier.

the staff are great.

excellent!

[Environment] There are no other water houses around the water house to block the view, and it is very beautiful to take pictures. There are many corals under the water house, and many small fish are seen. There are only five rooms in Pava, but the room is clean and well-equipped. There are water heaters, hair dryers, disposable toiletries, and you can take a hot shower immediately after getting on the water, and you don’t have to wait for the hair to dry naturally. [Service] The service is very good and professional, and there is contact information in advance. Regarding the pick-up and drop-off, because we came from another water house, it is very close to Pava. After communicating with the landlord, the pick-up and drop-off was completed smoothly. Thank you🙏 The return trip also arrived at the pier smoothly. The landing pier is regular, and there is no situation where a group of black people grab clothes to help you take your luggage👍 [Food] The brother will set the tableware in advance and prepare meals on time so that we will not be hungry😁 There are shrimps, crabs and fish, all of which are delicious! Basically, we finished all our meals, and the drinks we drank were not super sweet soda🥹 👀I need to add that although the water house allows free snorkeling, you can go diving with a life jacket🦺, but you have to pay RM23/set for renting masks and snorkels, and the mouthpiece is not a new disposable mouthpiece. OS: The snorkeling equipment in other water houses is free to use, and I think charging extra will reduce the experience.

Very beautiful, it is a jelly sea, the staff are very enthusiastic, the service is very good. The key is that the three meals are really good. The taste is OK. The only thing is that the hygiene needs to be improved. There is no air conditioning, but it is cool to open the ceiling fan and open the window at night! The cost performance is too high. The staff of this water house are all Malays, who only speak Malay and English. You need to know some English, or translation software is ok. It's great. If there is a chance in the future, I think we will stay again. Round-trip fixed boat transfer: relatively punctual, there is a ferry every day to Haifeng Pier and the water house at a fixed time.

The sea view is beautiful, the endless blue-green sea, the water quality is good most of the time for snorkeling, but occasionally when there is a low tide, all the garbage from the nearby town will float over, which is very sad. The staff service is OK, but only one person can speak English, and the three meals are also good. There is seafood for dinner. The room facilities are very basic, and the hygiene is somewhat unacceptable. There are hair from previous guests in the toilet sewer. I don’t know how long it has been there and it emits an unpleasant smell. In the end, I cleaned it myself. The most unacceptable thing is that there were bed bugs in the two nights I stayed. The arms and legs were all bitten. I don’t know how long it has not been cleaned. After reporting it to the staff, they pretended to be nothing. It has been several days since I checked out, and the bite marks are still shocking. It is hard to imagine that there are other possibilities besides bed bugs.

Compared with several popular water houses in Semporna, this one is the best value for money. There are only five rooms in the water house, which is very quiet. The room is not big and there is no air conditioning but ceiling fan. You won't feel hot when sleeping at night. The three meals a day taste good. There is glass sea all around. If you are snorkeling, there is Xiao Hei to accompany you all the time. It's super nice

The water house is great, the scenery is beautiful, it's refreshing, you can snorkel at will, the sea is very nice

The room facilities are simple, but clean and sanitary. There are only five rooms in the whole resort, which is very quiet. If you bring your own snorkeling mask, you can go in the water for unlimited time. There are staff to accompany you, free of charge, and the photos are also beautiful. They will help you take pictures. If you don’t bring equipment, you can rent it. The starry sky is brilliant at night, and there are many fish.

The room environment is like a jelly sea. You can go diving and snorkeling in Shanghai. If you stay in this hotel, you don’t need to go to the island.

Very good, will come again

The room is clean and well-equipped, similar to the configuration of a business hotel. The resort staff are warm and thoughtful. The one-night stay experience is great!
