• Holiday Dive Inn
  "Clean and decent place to stay"
  "Holiday Dive Inn in Semporna is a clean and quiet refuge where one can get some rest in between diving (why the vast majority of tourists are in Semporna to begin with). Even on the first floor, my room was fairly quiet and they did a very nice job keeping it clean as well, including the towels and..." the linens. The room wasn't big, and it wasn't particularly pretty (spartan, actually) but The staff was very helpful and friendly, from Gretchen at the front desk to the night staff and even the cleaning crew. That is actually quite typical of the Malaysian female population of Semporna, I found. The wi-fi worked well, I had a flat screen TV in my room (which I didn't use) and checkout was easy and painless. Its located one block off of the main strip in Semporna, and one block from the waterfront, making it quite easy to access everything except the ATM machine, which is located a ten minute walk away in a non-tourist oriented part of town. It's also, if you're diving within ... " More >
• Monkey Dives Lodge, Borneo
  "Different, relaxing, great host!"
  "How do you start to describe this place! I always say be honest so others can make up their own mind, so here we go. Look at the pictures and read the reviews, then you have the whole picture. This place is exactly what you see. A house on stilts! Its more what l would call a homestay. The house ..."holds 6 rooms from memory although fee is adding an extention. So you have your own private bedroom. The rest of the house consists of 3 toilet/bathroom spaces out the back, along with the cooking area and the main deck out the front. We arrived here by Airasia from KL to Tawau for around $60 each. Fee organised for someone to pickus up from the airport for 100ringetts. The drive was approx an hour to get to Semporna town. The town is very small, dont expect to run into other tourists!! We then took a boat trip, about 10-15mins to the lodge. It was certainly different from what us aussies are used to. However you dont come here is you're not looking for an experience. The fact that you ... " More >
• Sipadan Inn
  "Very clean, functional, good value and very friendly staff - small rooms"
  "We stayed many nights in Semporna on our way to/from Mabul and Sipadan. This is the best place to stay in the neighborhood around the harbor and dive shops. Forget staying at Scuba Junkies in Semporna, their rooms are poorly maintained and cleaned (at least during our first and last stay there 6..." years ago) This is when we discovered Sipadan Inn. And until now, they keep up the place in top condition. That is not often the case in this part of the world. PS: Sipadan Inn 2 is operated by the same company, and from what we've heard a bit more fancy and expensive. " More >
