I chose this hotel because it was marked with five stars. Generally speaking, it is still a little different from the real five-star hotels in China, but it does not prevent this hotel from being the best hotel in Semporna.
Let me start with the good points:
1. Because the hotel is new, all the facilities are new, the infinity pool has a great view, and the children's playground is a plus for tourists traveling with children.
2. The hotel itself is comfortable and the rooms are clean. Don't expect too much about the environment around the hotel. You can look forward to the sea view and sunrise and sunset in the distance.
Disadvantages:
1. The breakfast is not rich enough
2. The bottom of the swimming pool is dirty, according to the children

The room was very clean and tidy, with hot water. There was also a laundry room which was very convenient. The location was very good, very close to the tourist pier, which made it very convenient for us to island hop in the morning and come back.
The boss was very nice. I forgot my bag at the hotel, and the boss helped arrange a driver to bring it back.
Highly recommended!

This visit was a good one, we had our good evening time at the rooftop Cafe. The weather was good, we can see the whole town nicely from the rooftop. The food was okay, appropriate for a hotel's restaurant. There were few other visitors, but they seemed to be put off by the prices displayed in the menu and decided to leave afterwards. The staffs were friendly although seems that they are understaffed, only two of them on duty. Will surely back visiting again.

This B&B has just opened for a short time. I was a little hesitant before booking because there were no reviews for reference. I didn't expect it to be so good. The store is actually the same as the picture. The hygiene, environment, and facilities are not to be mentioned. I am very satisfied. I especially want to mention the owner of the store. He is very nice and basically responds to any requests. It takes about 10 minutes to drive from the town, but you can pick up and drop off whenever you want to go to the town. It is recommended to buy seafood in the seafood market and process it here. The fee is affordable. I heard that the processing fee outside is almost as expensive as seafood. I won't say much, just look at the pictures, real shots.
Perfect Forest Eco Semporna centrally located at Sabah Semporna. Guesthouse offers strategic location and easy access to the lively city has to offer. Guesthouse require 1 hour and 11 minutes drive away from Tawau Airport and 24-minutes from Tawau town.

Environment: The whole resort is very nicely decorated, and it is more cost-effective than the water house.
Hygiene: The staff will do a good job of insect repellent. Although the weather is hot, there is basically no need for mosquito repellent lamps in the room.
Service: The housekeeper will confirm our needs to go back and forth to the town every day, and he is very serious and responsible.
The puppies in the resort are also very cute. The housekeeper said that they were originally wild, but now that they live here, the staff will help take care of them. The puppies are very friendly. They will lead the way when we return to the room at night. The staff are also very caring ❤️
My stay at Jelly Sea Resorts was incredible. We were amazed at the view from the resort, the clear water, and the Bohey Dulang view from afar.
We were told that we were the first Malay to stay at the resort (mostly Chinese tourists), it was such an achievement and honored 🥇😂.
The room was big enough and what we liked about the room was that it had a patio where we could relax, provided with a netting bed and a ladder to go down swimming or snorkeling right from our own room.
I would recommend Jelly Sea Resorts to anyone who wants to experience Semporna. It also provides 3 meals a day (breakfast-lunch-dinner) included in your booking and a boat transfer from the land to the resort and vice versa.
The only thing we would comment on for improvement is to provide toilet bidet sprayer.

I am really satisfied with this stay. I couldn't book other water houses. I saw that their ratings were quite high on Ctrip. After a long struggle, I finally decided to stay here. We stayed for three nights. The price on Ctrip included three meals a day. I was very satisfied with the meal. It was no different from ordering food in a restaurant. We are from Changsha. Sometimes we want a heavier taste, and the boss will make it for us according to our wishes. If we want to drink milk tea, the housekeeper will buy it for us. If we want to eat durian, the boss lady will buy it for us. This service attitude is really great. I will definitely come again next time! Very suitable for vacation

As long as you can tolerate the possibility of not being able to contact the boss, J people were panicked when they couldn't wait for the boat at the pier at the agreed time, everything else was perfect, and finally found the boss and went out to sea half an hour late to the water affairs.
It took 20 minutes to go out to the water house, which was relatively far away from the land. The sea view of the water house was very good, and the room was actually better than expected. Isn't it beautiful to watch the sunset with the sea breeze at night, and there are locals singing at night. The network can be received, and there is no problem sending and receiving messages and watching social media, but there is no wifi

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.

WWill_ChenI 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.
AAnonymous UserHygiene: Super clean, super quiet and safe, 10-20 minutes drive from town, with a special car to town or island hopping pier at a fixed time every day
Service: Breakfast is a fixed fried rice noodles, ham, milk, and bread slices every morning! The service attitude is still very good, and the boss lady is very responsible!
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.
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 UserKapalai has amazing view and the white sand with crystal clear water is just very attractive. The rooms is nice but can be better in sealing the gap or holes to contain aircond in room. I feel like we are wasting the energy. The bed room is very big but there ar many empty space which can do better interior design to make it looks more luxury and home feeling. The check in process is quite slow and the information is not fully given or accurate. I remember the guy who brief us name Izzam, he did asked our flight time and departure time from the hotel back to Sempurna. And he even told us that our departure time should be 11.30am since our flight is 16.10pm. But the next day when we approach the reception to double check again. The receptionist told us that day was only 1.30pm departure. No one told them 11.30pm has any departure. And then we tried to tell them all details and some hassle happend. Fortunately they manage to arrange boat for us to depart on 11.30pm. If not we are going to missed our flight. So, to all who wanted to stay in Kapalai pls double check with the reception for ur departure time. Other than this small incident the trip was fun... Will be back again.
GGuest UserFirst of all, I added the housekeeper on WeChat before I set off and asked about the preparations before checking in. The housekeeper was very enthusiastic and explained enthusiastically. This was really great. He helped us carry our luggage when we arrived at the hotel, and then recommended seafood to us, and showed us how to bargain for a cheaper price. It was really affordable, and the hotel could also process it, which only cost ten yuan. The housekeeper also explained the differences in island hopping and snorkeling depths one by one, which was great! The hotel overlooks the town’s pier, which is convenient for travel. If you are going to cross-island tours, it only takes ten minutes to walk to the pier. Before leaving, the little brother also sent us downstairs. The hotel also has an airport pick-up service, which is affordable. I will choose this hotel next time I go back. Another point is that the little brother speaks Chinese and there is no communication barrier. Hygiene: clean and tidy, Environment: The hotel entrance is the check-in point, the mosque, and there is a food festival downstairs on weekends, where you can try local food, Service: Not worse than a five-star hotel,
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
LLiudoufuSanitary: The room is very clean,
Service: The service attitude is good, you can send meals to the room, and you can pick up and drop off for the visitor center for free.
Facilities: complete facilities and large rooms.
Environment: Not far from the visitor center, about ten minutes by car, 2.6 kilometers walking, free pick -up and delivery is very intimate. It is very convenient to connect to WeChat. It is recommended to check in. The only disadvantage is that there is a mosque in the back, praying on time at 5:00 every day. This is Muslim custom, praying five times a day
BBunga Damia TanSupposely they provide telephone in every room .. having difficulties to reach their receptionist .. This our 2nd time check in there ... no slipper in room. .. little bit disappointed with cleanliness of the room and under expectation their breakfast 🤭🤭
WWongRichardGood location near the Seafest jetty. Decent hotel with decent sized rooms. Nice sunset view from the room window.
However, the rooms are quite old and the air conditioner is not cold at all. Otherwise the shower water pressure is great. The breakfast buffet has limited options and the food is below average. The egg counter gives pre-cooked eggs instead of made-to-order
