Hotels near Pulau Sibuan, Semporna

It is very convenient to go to the island and to the pier. However, the room facilities are a bit old. It rained for a few days and the window leaked. I used a cup to collect the water. The owner of the seafood shop downstairs is good and the price is fair. It is cheaper than several nearby seafood shops. The rooftop restaurant You can buy seafood and process it yourself. The boss is Chinese and the processing fee is not expensive.

Upon arrival at the airport, things just went downhill. My wife had booked a ride from Ocean Inn from the airport to their hotel prior to our arrival. Our ride never showed up even after my wife confirmed with the hotel staff. Called them and not one response after several calls. Great way to confirm everything and then leave your customers high and dry. We ended getting our own ride. Ocean Inn hotel is situated in a what I would consider a more or less slum area. I saw multiple locals finish their drinks and then tossed their trash over into the sea when there’s garbage cans just a few feet from them. There’s a lot of garbage sunken and floating in the water everywhere. Countless rats scurrying on the ground and roofs in broad daylight. The area reeks of sewage. When we checked in, the gal in the front didn’t like her job. No greetings. No smiles. No friendly service. Not sure if it’s a cultural thing that I’m misunderstanding. I felt like she didn’t want to help us. Never did. The entrance of the front desk had an overwhelming smell of mothball. In our room, my wife found strands of hair between the sheets and blanket. The room smelled mildewy. The restroom smelled like a heavily used public restroom. The shower pressure trickled. I just don’t know how some of these reviewers gave this place a 3-5 stars. Absolutely baffled!!! Overall, there’s little nice things to say about Ocean Inn except that the AC works well. I’ll let you readers run wild with your own imagination that I’m painting. I would never come back here again. Thank goodness it was just for one night stay.

Booked this Inn2 because I couldn’t see any commitments on Sipadan Inn 3 or 1. It was okay for overnight. The first time I stayed there, it was a normal small room with window facing the street. However, when I checked in again a week later I got a room in the middle without window, even though I booked the same queen room. The location is not great, Inn 3 and 1 are at better spots in the small seafront town, easier to reach than Inn 2. Among the three, Inn 3 is the newest and, after a visit, I noticed it has better rooms with better facilities. Had WiFi in room at Inn 2, the bed was very basic and sheets not crispy clean, the shower was okay as well as the air conditioning. Semporna is a tiny town with most places within walking distance, though the narrow, car-lined streets are not that clean or tidy to walk through, especially if you carry luggage. From what I heard from other travelers, very basic facilities wherever you stay, so lower your expectations then probably all good.

enjoy staying here even though short trip . easy to access, newr to shop easy to get food. the room is clean n nice sticker on the wall. my kids love it.

Difficult to say this was a 3-average, but the description of a 4 is ‘very good’ which is a stretch for my experience. Should be about 3.5 I’d say. Decent rooms, beds are comfy, generally clean and rooms are provided with AC, tv, towels, kettle, coffee, tea and basic toiletries. Half a toilet roll was a touch! Had to ask for more, though. Wifi was ok the first night, of two, but then dropped off to very slow speeds, barely capable of loading social media feeds, which was frustrating. Otherwise easy to access, to find and centrally located to the sea-side of Semporna.

This hotel is very good in all aspects. It does a good job in terms of hygiene and service. I help carry luggage to the room.

Facilities: The room is well-equipped to meet the needs of traveling and living, especially the water pressure and hot water are very good. It is very important to take a comfortable bath after playing tired every day‼ ️ The whole environment is relatively clean and hotel-style However, the road to the hotel is very dark, and a few solar lights should be installed to illuminate the road There are some types of breakfast, but the Malay cuisine is difficult for people in Shunde, Guangdong to accept, but it is still clean and hygienic The long-haired lady who does the pier route in the lobby will answer any questions and speak Chinese. Whether you do business with her or not, she will explain patiently and carefully! It is worth praising There is a small night market downstairs There are also many restaurants and teas, as well as a relatively high-quality convenience store

The boss is from Shunde, Guangdong. The service is very warm and thoughtful. The house was built not long ago and the environment is very beautiful. It is far away from the main road and it will be very quiet at night! Free breakfast is also provided! There are also tourist resources to provide; there is also a round-trip shuttle bus to the port!

We had so much fun that when I returned home and wrote a review, I realized that I didn’t take any photos of the hotel 😂😂. 1️⃣: The room is tidy, there are staff on the first floor, the door is locked, and it feels safe 2️⃣: There is a washing machine and kitchen in the hall, and the living facilities in the room are complete, which is very convenient. 3️⃣: The boss lady and driver staff are very nice, which is an important reason why we enjoyed the whole trip. 4️⃣: There is breakfast, and there is a car to pick you up from the pier where you want to go, and to eat and visit places every day. You don’t have to worry about it being too late to take a taxi. This is really good. 5️⃣: If you come to Semporna, you must take the Pearl Island route, it’s so beautiful! !

I really like this garden B&B. There are only 7 rooms in total. The boss and service staff are very enthusiastic. It feels like we are friends. The breakfast is different every day. It is cooked as you go. It is delicious. Dinner can also be booked in advance. We Stayed and ate for 3 nights. The boss's craftsmanship was excellent and the dining environment was very comfortable. But remember to bring mosquito repellent, there are many mosquitoes. There will be a car to pick up and drop off the town for free. In the last half day, the boss took us to a local supermarket for shopping and bought a lot of coffee to give to friends. Semporna Airport is very small and the queues are long. You can’t go wrong by arriving at the airport 2 hours in advance. Our plane took off 15 minutes early.
