"This village is all about beachfront holidays, and its pros and cons revolve around that. **Pros:** The private, secluded cabins offer unbeatable ocean views. You can lie on the terrace lounge chair at night, accompanied by the sound of waves and sea breeze, under a sky full of stars. During the day, various fish and birds keep you company. It's a diving resort, with both scuba diving and snorkeling available. I heard the diving is good, but I didn't try scuba. The snorkeling right off the beach near the village entrance wasn't great. So, we hired a private boat to go snorkeling elsewhere, which was excellent; we saw multiple sea turtles. **Cons:** What made it great also made it less so. The cabin is drafty on all four sides, and the air conditioning is really weak and blows directly onto the bed, almost making me sick. However, it was still better than opening the windows. The ocean waves in the morning were definitely louder than a bus downstairs. The most bizarre thing was that only the terrace had curtains; the rest of the cabin didn't. So, the morning sun shone directly onto the head of the bed, which I guess is due to its orientation. These are points where opinions might differ. Most frustratingly, aside from scuba diving and snorkeling, there are no other entertainment options in the village. Under the tropical sun, everyone just retreats to their rooms. Plus, scuba and snorkeling are handled at separate locations. I have to complain about the somewhat old facilities. You can see sea fish through the gaps in the wooden floorboards. The bathroom had various issues: the toilet needed two flushes (and I, being an engineer, still can't figure out why), the overhead shower only produced about a third of its normal water flow, with the rest squirting out horizontally onto the partition. Luckily, there was a handheld shower that worked for one day. The next evening, the handle broke off when I tried to turn it on, and water started gushing out. So, two security guards came, both claiming they were just security. The last time, around 11 PM, I was already in bed when three people arrived, again stating they'd fix it tomorrow. The next day, both showers were repaired... The food was... edible, I guess. In short, this village is a matter of personal taste."

"Beautiful and clean hotel in Semporna harbor. Great location and a lovely pool to cool off in at the end of the day!"

"Good service..nice place..we have a really nice trip vacation"

"Compared to other islands, this place offers incredible value for money. It's a 45-minute boat ride from the mainland, quite a distance, but the water quality is far superior to those popular overwater bungalows just a few minutes offshore! The shuttle service and Chinese-speaking butler were both very patient. The whole island is quite large, and even though it was off-season, it's definitely worth a visit. Next to the restaurant, you can rent snorkeling gear for 20 MYR a day, so you can go snorkeling anytime, or book island-hopping tours to nearby islands."

"Great location, but avoid eating at Dojo – the food is terrible. As for service, the housekeeping didn't restock our water for three days. Did they take it home themselves or something? Also, the free shuttle to the pier isn't actually free. The front desk charges 45 MYR, but you can book it yourself for 25 MYR."

"This hotel is an absolute rip-off! For nearly 1,000 yuan, the room size and facilities are worse than a county-level guesthouse in China. I strongly recommend Ctrip to remove this terrible hotel."

"This is one of the better hotels in Semporna. It's clean and hygienic, which is great, and very close to the jetty for island hopping. The front desk staff were also very welcoming and enthusiastic."

"The environment is absolutely beautiful, and it offers much better value for money compared to other overwater bungalows. You can enjoy kayaking with a transparent bottom boat, seeing lots of starfish and small fish – it's really pleasant. There are also Bajau people who come by to sell fresh seafood. It would be perfect if they added a water slide! 😍"

"The location is excellent, but the soundproofing is terrible; you can hear everything from outside the hotel and other guests. While it appears clean, it really isn't. Both my partner and I woke up with itchy skin. On the other hand, the hotel facilities are quite comprehensive."
