Hotels near Pom Pom Island in Tawau Division

Wir waren über Silvester für 4 Nächte auf Pom Pom. Die Abholung von Flughafen Tawau mit privatem Fahrer und anschließender Speed Boot Tour hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Angekommen auf Pom Pom waren mit uns lediglich 13 Gäste im Hotel. Wir hatten einen Beach Bungalow, welcher täglich ordentlich gesäubert worden ist. Vom Bungalow an den Strand sind es lediglich 5 Meter. Der Bungalow ist zwar relativ groß, jedoch sehr altmodisch eingerichtet. Sowohl das Bad, als auch die Klimaanlage müssten dringend erneuert werden. Auf Nachfrage hat uns das Hotel höflicherweise die Klimaanlage innerhalb einer Stunde repariert. Wer einen ruhigen Ort mit paradisieschem Flair sucht ist auf Pom Pom richtig. Das Meer ist traumhaft warm und das Wasser ist kristallklar. Der Service des Hotels ist enorm hervorzuheben. Täglich konnte individuell mit Mitarbeitern besprochen werden, welche kostenlosen Touren man machen will. Tag 1 sind wir auf Sandbänke gefahren, Tag 2 zu einer Insel mit Wanderung, Tag 3 zu der Partner Insel Mataking (welche deutlich luxuriöser und teurer von der Austattung ist) Das tauchen hat pro Tauchgang 35 Euro gekostet und das Schnorcheln 20. Man konnte zusätzlich Schnorchelaisrüstung und Kajak Boote umsonst am Hotel für den Strand ausleihen. Das tolle Erlebnis Pom Pom wurde jedoch von der extrem!!!! schlechten Küche überschattet. Das Essenagebot ist Buffet und jeden Tag genau das Selbe. Es werden 4 ”Gerichte” angeboten, welche Kalt serviert werden, was wohl an den chinesichen Standart angepasst ist. Zum Früstück gibt es immerhin Omlett und Pankakes. Mittags und Abends gibt es immer Reis, Algen, Kaltes Gemüse, Wassermelone, Chicken mit Knochen (Kalt) und Kalte Shrimps. Ab und zu gibt es auch noch fritierten Fish. An SIlvester wurde sogar schon um 21 Uhr das Restaurant geschlossen und keine Bar war auf, weshalb der Abend sehr dürftig war. AUf Nachfrage haben wir erfahren, dass man spezifisch für Europäer und Amerikaner auch andere Speise habe,welche nicht erwähnt werden. SOmit haben wir ab Tag 3 uns entweder von Spaghetti und Tomatensosse, Tiefkühlpizza oder wenn wir sehr viel Glück hatten gebratenen Nudeln mit Chicken ernährt. Es gibt kein Wlan auf der Insel, man muss eine SIm karte kaufen. Schlussendlich ein traumhafte Malediven Insel mit tollen Sandstränden und tollen Ausflugsorten, bei welchen man Schildkröten etc sehen kann, vergleichbar mit den Malediven, jedoch auf Europäischersicht nicht mehr als ein drei Sterne Hotel. Total nette Mitarbeiter welche alles versuchen den Europäern den Aufenthalt angenehm zu machen, jedoch ist weder die Austattung (nicht mal ein Tv) noch das Essen an westliche Länder angepasst und erinnert mehr an Backpacker. Das Geld ist somit nur teilweise diese Erfahrung wert.

There is no TV or telephone in the water house, and even the toiletries provided are uneven. The keys are universal (because we found out that the keys are universal when we entered the wrong room, and the packaging form and variety of toiletries in the house are different). It seems that the rooms here are divided. We were divided into those raised by our biological mothers and those raised by our stepmothers. Unfortunately, we were assigned to those raised by our stepmothers. I opened the quilt at around 10pm and found two blood stains on it. It was too late and I didn't go find someone to change it. I didn't cover myself all night. I told the staff the next day and they changed it in front of me, but I Later, I checked again and there were still dust stains. Alas, it was much better than blood stains, so I just made do with it. I particularly suspected that it might not even be washed, but just patted and dried in the sun. People with long hair like me It's difficult to wash your hair and there's not enough water (this may not be possible in other rooms). Summary: You shouldn’t be too picky about living in a water house. It may be very good compared to other water houses (in addition, the lunch and dinner in this water house are still OK), but after all, it costs more than 2,900 per night. In total, It’s worth the price! There is also no staff who can speak Chinese in this water house. Chinese tourists stay here every day, but there is no staff who can speak Chinese. This is worthy of a bad review.

I went to Semporna with my girlfriend and chose this affordable water villa. It was beyond my imagination. There are Chinese housekeepers on the island, very enthusiastic. Our room has a 360-degree view of the sea, which is our favorite. Opposite is the Ocean Park, with real glass sea water quality. In addition, the water villa provides free glass boats, which is really good for taking pictures. Compared with Mabu Island, it is quiet here and very suitable for vacation. The price is still worth it. I highly recommend it! There are a lot of tourists on the water villas of Mabu Island. If you want to check in, you can sign up for a sea tour in the town.

Probably one of the best guesthouses in Semporna area. Jono's place is strategically located near the jetty and restaurant area. Almost everything is walking distance. Pharmacies, dive centres, convenience stores, restaurants and etc. The place itself is so clean and tidy. Can see that the owner puts a lot of effort in maintaining the place. The guesthouse has a well equipped pantry. It has instant noodles, bread biscuits, eggs, tea and coffee. It's more than good enough for a simple breakfast. I highly recommend this place.

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.

Providing an ideal mix of value, comfort and convenience, it offers an array of amenities designed for travellers… Internet access is offered to guests, and rooms at Dragon Hotel offer air conditioning. Guests of Dragon Inn Resort are also welcome to enjoy an on-site restaurant. Semporna has plenty of Asian restaurants. So when you’re here, be sure to check out popular spots like Fat Mother Semporna, Ocean Treasure Live Seafood Restaurant, and Fish Village Seafood Restaurant, which are serving up some great dishes. Best of all, Dragon Hotel makes it easy to experience some great Semporna attractions like Sabah (0.2 mi), which is a short distance away.

Overall ok la.Have swimming pool for kids to play and enjoy the time during staying while me do my work out there.food just ok.will stay again since hotel with swmgpool here veeeeeery limited lorr cause most people come here semporna go for island hoping kan 😂

The room is ok and comfortable with aircon and fan. At check-in time in the afternoon, the aircond is very strong and the fan is on It's a cold night, I don't even turn on the aircon haha, just turn on the fan. Amik seaview is ok. The bathroom floor is stagnant. Breakfast is not from the hotel but outside, you can choose between 2 restaurants, but the two Chinese restaurants are not sure if you want to eat even if they only have toasted bread on the menu with another menu of curry noodles/mee soup. Choose one Muslim shop and one Chinese shop, then the choice is correct. These are two Chinese shops. Add the Qibla direction in the hotel room. The location is close to the jetty, he just took the boat to the island. The staff are all ok, good.

I didn’t really stay at this hotel but paid a visit when I was in town. The staff there were very friendly and showed me a couple of rooms as I requested. It is definitely in better condition than the Inn2 I stayed in. It is the newest among the three Sipadan Inns, at a better location, especially if you go to Mabul with Scuba Junkie, very close to their office and their jetty. Thought to let travelers know as I didn’t see any comment when booking hotels in Semporna. It is a tiny seafront town, everything close by but those narrow, car-lined streets are not that easy to walk through if you carry luggage on a hot day.

The scenery of the seawater is indeed super beautiful, but the facilities do not need to be expected. There is basically nothing and you need to bring your own, including toilet paper. Looking to improve the infrastructure, it was too hot to sleep at night. We booked for two nights and stayed only one night without checking out. It was really hot. The rest is OK.
