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.

The water house is really great. The resort has a boat shuttle so you don't have to worry about transportation. Three meals are also included in the package, and the food is quite fresh. The weather was very good for the two days of vacation, so the sea water was very clear and transparent. I couldn't wait to go to the sea after putting down my luggage. What's surprising is that you can go directly into the water in the water house!!! In addition, there are many water recreational facilities, such as snorkeling, glass boats, sea swings, etc. I won't list them one by one. Overall, I am quite satisfied.
To be honest more than expected. We communicated with the store via email in English and picked us up on time. The round trip for two people cost 200 in total. The room was okay, the view was pretty good. It includes three meals a day, breakfast is average, lunch and dinner are delicious, and you can eat crab every time. The store staff are very nice and try their best to speak Chinese.
Crystal Water House, sitting on the charming jelly sea, has a clean and hygienic environment. The water house rooms are beautifully decorated, and the blue sea and sky can be seen through the windows, making people feel like they are in a dream world. Here, you can also snorkel for free and experience the beauty of the underwater world. The owner of the water house is hospitable and attentive, and will also provide professional snorkeling guidance. Although my partner and I were injured during the trip because we are not good at water, the owner of the water house thoughtfully bandaged our wounds and treated them properly. All in all, this is a very good place worth recommending.

GGuest UserI don’t think I have ever written a review of a hotel. I returned home from Semporna after a transfer in the middle of the night, but my heart was still in the water house in Semporna.
It was my first time to Malaysia. I saw that this water villa was new and had high ratings, so I booked it with the mentality of giving it a try. The result was really beyond my expectations.
The thoughtful arrangements made by the Chinese butler, the clean yacht for pick-up and drop-off, and the warm and honest black people all made our anxiety turn into peace of mind.
Along the way, everyone was amazed by the jelly-like ocean, the clearly visible starfish, and the various small fishes everywhere.
The clean rooms, the quiet environment with only six rooms, the fresh and hygienic dishes, the fun of being able to go down from the public area to play in the water and catch crabs at any time, the simple black people who took close care of us while diving and took us to visit the Bajau people, all left our family with a good impression of Semporna and even Malaysia.
Because the sun is too strong and the lighting for taking pictures is not good, let the beautiful scenery be recorded in your eyes and heart.
I highly recommend staying at this hotel when you go to Semporna. It's such a great experience.
GGuest User⭐3 nights in a tent room ⭐Transportation: A separate resort. From Tawau Airport, you first go to the resort and then to the town. There are several shuttle buses to the town every day. The boss will coordinate the time and arrive in 17 or 18 minutes. It is very convenient. The air conditioner in the car will be turned on in advance. Good reviews! ⭐Environment: There are many palm trees and various flowers and plants in the resort, as well as a small pond and several friendly dogs. They are all single-family wooden houses and tent rooms. It feels like a vacation, much better than the town! The bedding is clean, the room is large, the air conditioning is powerful, and the sleep is very comfortable. You can hear the insects at night, and you will see little squirrels if you are lucky. There is a puppy security guard at the door every night to accompany us to sleep, which is very safe. The boss said that they have marked the territory haha. ⭐Details: The room is fully equipped with toiletries, and there are also washing powder + bucket + clothes rack at the door, as well as a separate laundry room (washing machine + dryer).
⭐The boss is from Shunde. It can be seen that he is very attentive in the business. He basically does everything himself inside and out, and the overall experience is very good. The boss said on the day I left that the place was still under expansion. I look forward to having the opportunity to stay here again in the future!
JJi ChengOverall I enjoyed our stay in sky water villa. When I was booking I read the reviews also worried that they are a bit old, so that the houses might not be well maintained. But during my stay I feel like the houses are used but still in okay manner. The best thing for this hotel is that I think they have the best house reef, and you can see turtles at night from your balcany. I went snorkling a few times during my stay I saw quite a few clown fish aka nemo and many fishes and even a sea eel one day. They also provide “galss” kayak which you can watch sunset on it. And the best thing they offer is that the tours you book with the villa starts around 10 am, you can just get ready and wait in your room, and when the boat is here the staff will get you from your room, and you’ll finish the tour around 3-4 pm which is the afternoon tea time at the villa. Instead of in the town area you need wake up early and meet and wait at the jetty around 8:15 am . And power supply is stable just may be ocassion blackout but it would turn back on very soon. However I do think they need to clean their air con as the one in our room seems very dusty, we had to clean the filter ourselves, they were very dusty. And during the afternoon coz our villa faces the sunset direction the air con feels a bit not strong enough. And the aircon outer unit is installed right at the room’s wall so it’s a little bit noisy, I’d suggest why not just use a more powerful window unit instead. The food is so so, but it’s difficult to cater everyone’s preference for food. The hotel is not cheap and maybe not very cost effective compare to hotels in other places, but to be fair i think if you want to go to semporna, this might be a reasonable option as overall semporna and malaysia is very expensive for tourists. And i higly recommend to stay at least 2-3 nights instead of 1 night to fully enjoy and relax yourself.
KKANG CHINGWater Chalet is non-air conditioner room. I dont know that my Chalet is non-Aircon Room so i have to stay in the hot room. many customers complaint very hot especially day time. For meal is buffet style and with variety food. drinking water and codial drink is free. Especially morning is very noisy because of the electric car pass by the chalet. For the view , i agreed with what i see in the youtube. During sunset . it is beautiful and romance enviroment. dues of lack of water. we cant use bath tub and the water shower is very small and i feel like i am staying in no- star hotel. But the hotel officer did tell us because of lack of water. but the transport to the Kapalai is quite frequent and free. this is bonus points. Generally, for couple those are going to honeymood and taking photos are the best to go.
GGuest UserIs nice hotel, just close the bathroom door otherwise a ugly smell will enter the room! They have washing machine with dryer wich is great! but then you can also hang your clothes outside in the balcony, the staff are friendly. Main area is a bit depressing, they could make it look a bit more cozy so people can sit there and chat.
AAnonymous UserI don’t recommend choosing this hotel, the location is too remote. It is about 800 meters away from the lively area of the town and far away from convenience stores, laundries and restaurants, which is very inconvenient. Most dive shops are at the pier, about 1.2km away. It's not very far to walk there, but there are no sidewalks on the road and there are a lot of cars, so you have to walk in the mud next to the road, which makes it very dirty. There are also a lot of mosquitoes on the road.
The store has a car delivered to the pier every day, but the time and location are fixed. The dive shop I chose is not at the pier, so I didn't use it. I have seen several other hotels with similar prices before, some of which are more conveniently located and have in-room toilets.
The bathroom and toilet are shared and it is not convenient to go to the toilet at night. The toilet is quite dirty. The dirt on the toilet seat is so serious that it cannot be wiped off with paper towels. At the same time, there are many mosquitoes when going to the toilet. The water pressure in the shower is also very low, and there is no cold water if there are other people taking a shower nearby.
There is only one bed in the room and no other facilities. The hygiene situation is okay and the bed is relatively clean. There is a small balcony, but the balcony door is broken and cannot be opened. The only thing worth mentioning is that the bed is very comfortable, it seems to be a latex mattress.
In addition, my room was close to the outside and the window faced the road. People passing by the bus can see directly inside, and the noise is very loud. Every night I wear noise-canceling headphones to fall asleep.
GGuest UserIt was my first time to experience a water house. The slide went directly into the sea. It was very interesting.
Service: The hotel's arrangements are in place and they can help you solve any problems you have. We booked a charter boat for snorkeling for two people. The instructor is also very professional and will dive to the bottom of the sea to help you catch the fish from the bottom of the sea.
Facilities: As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't wait to experience the slide. At first, I was worried that I would sink into the sea if I slid down. There are life jackets at the front desk, so there is no need to worry.
Free dinner: The dishes are very rich, the chicken is very tender, the crabs are also very fresh, there is crab roe in it, you can’t get enough of the shrimps
GGuest UserIt’s similar to hotels/guesthouses in China, and much simpler than domestic budget hotel chains such as Home Inns or GreenTree Inn. Hotels in Sabah generally feel two stars lower than those in China. The one I stayed in in Kota Kinabalu is owned by Marriott The Le Méridien hotel is also comparable to domestic All Seasons hotels, so don’t expect too much.
The sanitation is quite clean, and there are often people chanting sutras with loud speakers in the morning and evening... overall it's not bad.
It is two kilometers away from the pier and takes a taxi for 6-8RM. You can go to the seafood market to bargain for dragon knives, which is quite fun!
何何璨辰A country-style place with obvious advantages and disadvantages
advantage:
1. Excellent location, surrounded by jelly-like sea water, making it an excellent snorkeling spot.
2. When you get up early in the morning, there is no wind or waves. Be sure to watch the sunrise. The scenery with heaven and earth as the canvas is worth all the money spent.
3. The butler’s service attitude is excellent
shortcoming:
1. Round-trip speed boat transfers are expensive. For a family trip like mine, the cost is higher based on the number of people.
2. Maybe I stayed on a Sunday, and there were only two butlers as service staff in the evening. I only saw cooking, serving, singing for fun, and clearing away the dishes...very busy.
3. Sanitary environment, there are cockroaches... It is recommended that the operator deal with it as soon as possible
4. The generator is too noisy at night. It is still sounding until after breakfast in the morning, ruining the fairyland-like scenery.
