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 đ„đ.
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.

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.

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

The staff are always smiling, friendly, warm and courteous. They fulfilled our desire to do snorkeling twice in the morning and the night during our 2 day one-night stay. The host Joanne even showed us how the indigenous tribe that lives there and their way of living in stilt houses by shallow were amazing. Children as young as 7 years old have started to paddle a boat which they have handmade and repaired as well. The interior is fantastic with a bright yellow couch and a breezy balcony that is perfect for lazing around. The water is crystal clear and at night, it lights up into a lovely fairyland. The karaoke music is fun. They cooked live seafood and we loved it! The food is tasty and plentiful.
For $570, we stay in a beautiful water house, go snorkeling twice, free airport pick, free ferry to Larapan village and back to Tauwa Jetty, free meals from breakfast, lunch, dinner, and tea time is worth it. Plus the bonus of taking photos on a glass boat was a remarkable memory
PLEASE TAKE NOTE FERRY BOARDING AT KJETTY TO LARAPAN is 2pm , so please book a flight to make it for the transport to go to the ferry from airport that takes an hour.

I stayed at the Star Water Villa in Semporna. Overall, it was very cost-effective. It was an economical water villa. The main thing was that the price was reasonable. The water villa allowed snorkeling for free. Xiao Hei took us to find sea turtles. The water quality was very good! We also saw the sunset that day. I would recommend it to my friends!
The Seafest Hotel provides a great place for travelers to relax after a busy day. Visitors to Semporna will find that the Seafest Hotel is a fantastic accommodation choice. There is no shortage of things to see in the area, with the Padang Pekan Semporna, Borneo Unlimited Marine Sport (BUMS) and Masjid Pekan Semporna, Sabah. all nearby. At the end of a busy day, travelers can unwind and relax in the hotel or go out and enjoy the city. This Semporna hotel features parking on site. This hotel is particularly popular with those traveling with families.
AAnonymous User2024.05.23
Staff are friendly and helpful. Location is very strategic and nice view from our room. Breakfast is nice and everything was good.
The SKY Water Villas was recently opened in 2023, making it a fantastic choice for those staying in Semporna. After a long day of sightseeing, guests can retire to the comfort of the hotel. According to our guests, the location of this hotel is one of the best around. For guests traveling with families, this hotel is consistently one of the most popular choices.
JJi Cheng2024.09.22
Overall 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 âgalssâ 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 youâll 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 roomâs wall so itâs a little bit noisy, Iâd suggest why not just use a more powerful window unit instead. The food is so so, but itâs difficult to cater everyoneâs 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.

Lighthouse is a hotel with good facilities in Semporna. It was newly opened in recent years, so the facilities are relatively complete and there won't be any big problems. The sea view room is great. You can spend the whole day lying on the bed and looking at the sea. The staff is very enthusiastic. The breakfast is just average (but the breakfast in the town is like that, which is already good). The air conditioner is too noisy and it affects my sleep. I will stay here again next time I come to Semporna! The location is also very convenient. You can drink Starbucks just downstairs. Hahahaha

It took nearly 20 minutes to check in. The toilet drain was clogged and water couldn't flow in. We had to find someone to fix it before we could use it. There was no cleaning or water prepared the next day. The service of such an expensive room was very average, and there were unclean things in the hotel. I dare not stay here next time

AAnonymous User2024.02.08
Environment: Mabu Island is a large island. Many certified divers live on the island. There are more than a dozen hotels on the island. It is a 40-minute boat ride from the town. There are some primitive Bayao villagers on the left and right sides of the hotel.
Hotel: There are townhouses and two towers, and the accommodation facilities are pretty good.
Catering: The hotel provides three buffet meals a day, which is enough to fill you up. There are Bajau people selling seafood on the beach, and the hotel can process it.
Summary: I went there before the Chinese New Year. The hotel price was around RMB 3,000 per night, which was considered average value for money at the time. There was a pick-up and drop-off service, but the disadvantage was that there was construction nearby that affected the experience.

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 thereâs 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.
GGuest UserThe hotel's primary focus on Chinese guests is evident in its services and amenities, which are predominantly in Chinese. This should be clearly stated in the hotel description on the booking websites. The villa itself is well-maintained, spacious, and equipped with everything you need. The beds and linens are of good quality, the toiletries are nice, and the bathroom is modern and clean. The air conditioner is quiet, but the external unit is quite noisy. The exterior and garden are lovely and clean.
The breakfast buffet was subpar, with cold food and coffee that required guests to microwave (completely in Chinese) it themselves, which was also a major inconvenience. Yet, the variety and quality of food was good and tasty. The staff seemed indifferent to the lack of coffee and food, and the lady who came to âcheckâ on us only brought coffee when we asked. Overall, our stay was satisfactory, but this place definitely needs to improve its hospitality and guest service. Given the above this place is too overpriced.
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 Chefâs 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 donât want to go home
I guess I will come to Semporna next time because I miss Mushroom House
VVictoria ShawThis homestay is an independent cabin with a swimming pool in the yard, which is very beautiful.
The owner is Chinese and can speak Chinese. The communication is very smooth and considerate.
It is a little far from Semporna town. If you want to go there, the owner will send a driver to pick you up. You can also make reservations to the airport or the pier, which is very convenient.
Breakfast is a simple meal, all freshly made. It is relatively fresh and good.
You can consult the owner if you have any questions in Semporna. He is super nice and has adopted a kitten. It is a very pleasant accommodation experience.
Because the environment is relatively primitive, there will be many mosquitoes and small animals. It is normal to appear in the house. Bring mosquito repellents to be more comfortable.
I hope the boss's business will be prosperous!
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
AAzieraThe water pressure is really slow for sink & toilet.. for shower is acceptable.. I came down around 7am to checkout but both staff are sleeping at the receptionist areađ I dont mind if u want to sleep but at least 7am u should wakeup already. The pic is a place near to this hotel u can walk 5-10mins..
JJackieMy stay at Green world was simply wonderful. The room was spotless and cozy, The bathroom was clean. Staff friendly and accommodating, making me feel valued throughout my stay. I'll definitely be back with family and friends. Highly recommended ! Thank you green world
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 đ€đ€
VVINCENTTLGreat location, although it may be a bit noisy during evening time due to the bars near by. Room size is good for me, as a solo traveller, even with a huge luggage. And as I dive every day during my stay, balcony is a plus to drive and hang my equipments.
And Iâm happy with re mattress.
Thereâs no fridge in the room - but I guess itâs the same in all hotels in that area.
