It was my first time to stay in a water house. I thought it was perfect. It was newly built and very comfortable. It was exactly what I wanted. The service staff were very shy and friendly. I was also very satisfied with the dinner. I woke up early in the morning and watched the sunrise. It was amazing. Looking forward to Anmei. When I went out for a walk at night, I could see many starfish and fish coming out, and small fish could also be seen in the room. It rained heavily when I fell asleep very late that night. The roof was made of iron sheets, and the sound of rain amplified. Many times, when it is windy and rainy, I will be a little scared and dare not sleep. At other times, it is perfect. I will choose the water house next time I come.

The hotel is new, recently opened. Rooms are spacious and comfortable.
The hotel's strongest point is a comfortable and well-designed pool. Unfortunately, this is the end of the pluses.
Breakfast - the choice seems to be large, but everything is focused on the Chinese, so a European / American does not have much to eat. It's good that at least there is an egg station.
Front desk procedures - even though the hotel was almost empty, we were told to wait three hours for the room. A deposit of RM 200 per day is charged at check-in - cash only, no card guarantee. When checking out, you have to wait at the front desk until the housekeeping checks if you have stolen anything from the room. If you lose the document confirming the deposit - they will not return your money.
Finally, probably the most annoying thing - the card scanning system in the elevators - we sometimes spent long minutes trying to press the floor key in the elevator, usually it ended with asking for help from the reception. This is absolutely unacceptable.
There is too much to improve here to be able to say that the hotel is worth the price.
It takes about 20 minutes to get there from the pier. You can go directly into the sea from the room. The water is very clear. You can see the sea as soon as you open the French window. You can also see starfish and fish around the water house, and small crabs on the wooden stairs. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included, and there are afternoon tea snacks in the afternoon. There are seafood, crabs, squids, shrimps and some blanched vegetables every night. The stay experience is not bad. Since it happened to be Christmas, I also caught up with the hotel's fireworks celebration! It is recommended to order deep diving directly from the store. The accompanying crew not only has good photography skills, but also gives deep diving photos and videos! ! Love it!

It's really worth choosing Banyan Tree Villa Hotel for this trip to Semporna! As soon as I got off the car, someone greeted me. Check-in was super fast. The housekeeper also helped me plan the itinerary, which was very considerate. The room faces the sea, and I am awakened by the beautiful sea view every day. The private swimming pool is also great, and I am not afraid of being disturbed at all.

Newly opened hotel. Clean and tidy environment. Free pick-up to town.
The environment in town is really average. It is very comfortable to live here!
The point is that the food in this restaurant is delicious. You can buy seafood and have it processed in the store. We did not bring our own seafood. The portion of the cream shrimp noodles made in the store was large. I think it tastes better than the popular restaurants in town.
The guy who helps pick up every day is very nice and patient. It is really right to choose this hotel when you come to Semporna
Located in Larapan Island, 20-25 minutes by speedboat from Longmen Inn Pier, located in the middle of Valentine's Bay Line one-day tour route, adjacent to Warship Island, beautiful and quiet environment, is the best choice for family honeymoon, water house has 24-hour Chinese butler service, expensive Chinese chef every day includes delicious meals and afternoon tea, The hall has karaoke equipment with better sound quality than KTV, and we sell alcoholic beverages. The water house has a long plank road connected with the island. Guests can visit the Bayao people on the island through the plank road, and when the tide recedes, they can also go down to the beach to catch crabs, fish and shrimp

I 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.

Advantages: plenty of hot water, breakfast included, very close to Longmen Inn (if your itinerary includes island hopping to Mataking, you will meet at Longmen Inn), the hotel's sockets do not require conversion heads and can be used directly.
Disadvantages: There is expected to be construction work at the entrance of the hotel in the next two to three years. The drilling will last until about 1 a.m., and the air-conditioning is quite loud, and it is very stuffy without the air-conditioning on. There was a fishy smell on the first day of stay, but not in the next two days. But since I am usually very tired when traveling, I can still take a break. If the island hopping itinerary includes Timba Timba, the meeting point is about 2 kilometers away and takes 20 minutes to walk. It's difficult to get a taxi.
There is a deposit charge and you need to prepare 100RM in cash in advance. It will be refunded upon check-out.
Move-in date February 4, 2025.
The boat ride takes about 20 minutes. Travelers who like quietness can choose this more primitive hotel. The meal service is not bad. The hotel provides SUP and snorkeling equipment. You can freely go out to the sea and have fun. There is no air-conditioning in the room, but there is water air-conditioning, which is enough for the whole day anyway. Soak in the sea. There were many starfish and turtles were also seen

Depart from the pier, take a speedboat, and there will be local children carrying luggage to the boat. It will take about 25 minutes to reach the water house. The sea breeze blows gently along the way, and it feels so comfortable.
When I arrived at the water house, I was pleasantly surprised as soon as I entered the house. The facilities in the house are so complete, air conditioning, hot water supply equipment and facilities are all available, and the layout is warm.
The bathroom is also clean, without any odor, and the bath towels are snow-white, which is comfortable to look at. After putting the luggage, the room has a separate balcony.
The sea water around the water house is clear and you can clearly see the fish. You can see starfish lying slowly on the seabed when you look down, and there are groups of colorful small fish swimming around.
The fish feel a little dull. . . . What satisfies me most is the food here. Just arrived in the afternoon, the staff told us that we can have afternoon tea from 15:00 to 16:00,
small cakes, fruits, juice, while enjoying the sea view and eating desserts, I feel that all the fatigue has disappeared. The dinner was even more sumptuous, with a table full of seafood.
The crabs were all fat, and when you peeled the shells, the crab roe flowed out, and the aroma was intoxicating. The squid and shrimp were also very fresh and bouncy. Paired with a few plates of refreshing and greasy blanched vegetables,
the nutritional combination was perfect!!! I lived comfortably every day during these few days, and the staff was very friendly. Any needs could be solved immediately. This stay experience was really great.
It is very suitable for couples to date or family vacations. I sincerely recommend it to everyone.

Very Good
GGuest UserEveryone says that the accommodation conditions in Semporna town are poor. I looked at several hotels and they were not good enough. Suddenly I saw Pineapple Sea. I was fascinated by its scenery. It was completely in the style of a resort. After booking, I contacted the boss on WeChat. The boss was very considerate and told us what to prepare in advance. Including our trip to the sea, which was arranged by the boss. The service was very meticulous. Before I arrived in Semporna, a special service group had been set up. When I arrived, they would arrange airport pick-up in advance. I didn’t have to worry about it along the way. If I had any questions, I could ask in the group and they would reply at any time. The two-bedroom room we stayed in was very large and clean. There were shuttle buses to the town. They would recommend local food and it was very cost-effective. It was a pity that the schedule was tight, otherwise I really wanted to stay a few more days. I will have a chance to go there and have fun for a few days next time. I still chose to stay at Pineapple Sea~
GGuest UserThe environment is beautiful and comfortable. It is a good place for vacation. The catering service is good. The boss is nice. It is worth recommending. There are many water stars on the water of the water house and villa, and you can row a glass boat
GGuest UserThe story of the second home in Semporna B&B is so beautiful in Mushroom House
The three-day experience can be said to be free of worries and only touching
The B&B managers Gao Gao and A Ping are so great that they helped us solve any problems we had quickly
The big balcony is also suitable for drying clothes for snorkeling. The Easter Egg Chef’s dishes are so delicious
Cat-friendly, many cats are super clingy
The pick-up response is fast and the staff is very friendly
The restaurant plays music, watching them grill fish and drinking coffee, I really don’t want to go home
I guess I will come to Semporna next time because I miss Mushroom House
GGuest UserThere is a garden in front of the door, which is very beautiful and has a swimming pool. The room itself has a kitchen where you can cook instant noodles. You can also use the owner's kitchen to cook. It has a full set of utensils and seasonings. It is especially suitable for parents who bring children and are not used to eating out. Free pick-up and drop-off in town, just let us know in advance, it's very convenient
GGuest UserI stayed at the hotel for four days and felt very good. The hotel owner was very friendly and thoughtful. The relevant facilities and equipment are very complete, and the hot water is abundant. I recommend choosing this one, thank you
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 🤭🤭

AAnonymous UserThe best part is the nice sea view from balcony. Has place to hang and dry clothing at balcony. Cleanliness is ok. Location very good. Walking distance to everywhere. Jetty just 5 to 10 minutes walk. Has elevator. Lots of restaurant nearby. 7-11 also just few steps away. Don't expect much on TV, limited channel.
