9.5/10
Amazing
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 there’s 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.

SShimaoliuliu6This resort is absolutely amazing! I personally tried it out! Although it's a bit far, the environment is fantastic, like a natural oxygen bar.
Transportation: If you're coming from the airport by taxi, it might be a bit far and remote. The driver might have trouble finding it or ask for extra money. You can add the hotel's WeChat and book an airport transfer in advance (a small cost for a big convenience).
Service: Incredibly good! The boss is a young guy who is very hands-on from the moment you arrive. He's very nice and chatty, and even told us how to bargain for seafood!
Food: Their chef's seafood! Unbeatable, so delicious!!!! And in the evenings, the restaurant has music (KTV), and the boss sings 🎤 – the atmosphere is great!
Cleanliness: I expected a lot of bugs (because it's in the mountains), but it was surprisingly clean, with no mosquitoes or insects at all!!!!! You won't get bitten. It's truly amazing!!!
Plus, their shampoo smells super good! Oh my goodness!
I'll be back next year! It's so comfortable! A place for complete joy and relaxation for both body and mind!!

GGuest UserThe guesthouse was definitely worth my money and stay. The family room was comfortable and surprisingly spacious enough for five people. Upon entering the room, my first impression was how cozy and aesthetically pleasing it looked. The beds were comfortable and dust-free, while the bathroom and toilet were also clean. However, the room was not spacious enough to accommodate an extra bed, and we had to rearrange some of the furniture to make space for our luggage.
As for the common areas, there was a spacious communal dining and relaxation area where people could spend time with friends and family. It’s also nice of them to provide instant noodles for breakfast. It was convenient when we were in a hurry, as we could quickly prepare a meal before heading out. Another helpful facility was the laundry room upstairs. After our water activities, we were able to wash our bathing suits immediately and hang them up to dry.
The location was also very convenient, as we did not have to walk far to find food or explore the area. There were many nearby restaurants and cafes, souvenir shops, and the public jetty within walking distance.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay even though it was only for two nights. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Semporna.

GGuest UserPros: Very clean, excellent hygiene, and quiet at night. We originally booked a triple room, but the owner upgraded us to a quad, which was a good size and suitable for families. The owner also recommended an island hopping tour, and the snorkeling instructor assigned to us was very good.
Cons: It's a bit far from the seafood market and somewhat secluded, but we used Grab for all our travel, costing between 6-10 Malaysian Ringgit. The soundproofing of the door could be better. It seems like the area has insufficient voltage, as we experienced a power outage for several hours one evening.
On a side note, there were a few friendly cats in the yard, so we bought some cat food from a local store in town to feed them. 😁

HHotel Reviewer/Influencerfirst is the floor, it is sticky, it is sticky in the room and also at the gathering or public area where we take our meals. Next is the issue with the toilet, the shower head is broken, it's leaking and the water is too strong and thin, it is hurting me when i try to bathe. Thirdly, the floor mat is dirty and too thin, it is not absorbing water as it should. Fourth, the floor also has a lot of dust and sand. Fifth, the hotel does not have enough electrical plug, we only have two plugs and it is on the most left of the bed, it is better if it is in the middle of both beds. Sixth, the air conditioner is too weak for a room with 3 people, it is hot even at night. Seventh, the music is too loud, i cannot even rest properly at night, you can prepare earplugs at least. Eighth, the gathering or public area is too hot because there is no fan, please prepare some ceiling fans so guests can dine properly. Ninth, should have a table for a big room at least. the floor is wide enough, but it is so dirty that we do not dare to sit on the floor to play games or cards, we also do not want to play games or cards at the gathering or public area because it is too hot and loud. Tenth, rubbish in the sea or hotel area, i saw a huge pile of rubbish such as bottled water, food container, plastic bag just floating in the sea in the resort.
Here are some good things about the hotel, first, very nice scenery, the water is nice and clean in the morning. Secondly, the balcony area for each room is nice because we can look at the scenery while sitting on the chair and resting. Thirdly, the staff is very friendly and very responsible, they do their work fast, they carry our luggage, refill food fast, and are very nice. Fourthly, the overall atmosphere of the hotel is very comfortable. Fifth, the food is ok, breakfast is ok, it is not the best but it is edible, the dinner is the best, and the seafood is a very nice touch. Sixth, we can dry our wet cloth on the balcony too.
Overall i give it a 2 out of 5 stars. The price of your hotel does not match the pros and cons of your hotel. I would not want to stay in the hotel another day if the problems still stay the same. Please do your best to improve better.
This is my honest review as a Malaysian.

FFengzhongfeixiangdexiaoyaojing897The room was spacious and comfortable. The owner was a lovely and friendly young lady who spoke fluent Chinese. There were several small supermarkets nearby, making things very convenient. The ice cream was also delicious and inexpensive. If you're interested, you should definitely check it out!

GGuest UserI contacted the hotel via WhatsApp 3 days before check-in, and they replied very quickly. They even called me back, and the communication was very smooth.
The boat departs from the jetty at 1:30 PM, but when we arrived at 12:30 PM, the boat was already waiting. Someone helped us with our luggage when we boarded. Later, we found out they weren't hotel staff, so we tipped each of them RM5.
The hotel's check-out time is 10 AM, and the latest guests can leave by boat is 11 AM because the boat cannot sail after low tide. So, no late check-outs are possible. On the way there, it was high tide, and the boat sailed over shallow waters. The 'jelly sea' was absolutely stunning. My initial apprehension instantly turned into pure delight – it was so worth it!
We were 6 adults and 3 children. We originally booked one triple fan room and one quintuple fan room. Because I didn't want a corner room, and the quintuple room was in the westernmost corner, and since there weren't many guests during the off-peak season (we practically had the place to ourselves, which was a pleasant surprise!), the hotel generously gave us an additional triple room and upgraded all our rooms to air-conditioned ones. Another great surprise! Actually, the sea breeze was strong, and opening the window with a fan was already very comfortable, so we didn't really need the air conditioning. In fact, after snorkeling, we found it too cold in the room, so we promptly turned off the AC.
The hotel is currently undergoing renovations. The quintuple room was newer, while the two triple rooms were smaller and older. However, the sea view was so beautiful, and given the great value for money, these minor issues were acceptable.
The hotel owner was also very accommodating and gave us keys to a few rooms, letting us choose which ones we wanted.
Since the quintuple room was on the western side, the sunset views were spectacular. My friends even saw sea turtles twice from their room at night.
After watching the sunrise, we walked to the easternmost part of the hotel. There's a bridge there that's perfect for photos, and we kept seeing sea turtles, which was such an amazing surprise! We saw about 7-8 sea turtles intermittently, and they were huge! It might have been the start of low tide, and they were all swimming towards the deep sea. This must be a common path for them, and it was the biggest highlight of our trip.
The hotel has Wi-Fi and accepts TNG for payment. The round-trip boat ticket costs RM100, and children ride for free. Life jackets are RM5, and swimming rings are RM10 (no time limit). The hotel's snorkeling masks were broken and unavailable for rent, so it's best to bring your own. The sea has lots of corals, starfish, and fish, making it excellent for snorkeling. Bring extra bread to feed the fish.
The hotel doesn't provide bottled water or hair dryers, but there's hot water and tea bags. Dinner was local Malay food, which might not suit everyone's palate, but we found it quite good, and the fish was cooked tenderly. The simple breakfast included delicious fried rice noodles.
We also brought some chocolates and instant cereal/drink mixes to prepare with the hotel's hot water.
There's also free karaoke and Lami mahjong, though they can only be used until 11 PM. The karaoke is a new facility, only 4 months old, and the sound system is excellent. The Lami mahjong set was brand new.
In summary:
Although the hotel is a bit old, the sea is incredibly beautiful, and we even saw sea turtles. For the price, it offers great value. Overall, I highly recommend it.

XXiaolu033The room was spacious enough for six people without any problem. It also had a large balcony and a washing machine, making it convenient for drying clothes. We bought seafood and cooked our own meals at the guesthouse. The seafood here was delicious, all wild-caught, and incomparable to the seafood in Guangzhou markets. It was a bit noisy if you don't mind, but it was great for a group of friends. Thanks to the guesthouse for providing convenient services. The owner's son, Xiao Cheng, even took us to the market to buy seafood and bargain on the first day, worried we might be unfamiliar with the area. Signing up for island hopping through them is basically the same as the group service offered by Xin Hai. The staff were very enthusiastic, responsible, and great at creating a lively atmosphere. They sang beautifully, even in Chinese! Special praise to the coach/leader named Aqi.

GGuest UserAfter comparing several hotels, I finally chose Aranya Seaview Hotel, and I'm glad I made the right choice. The room was new and very clean, and the space felt even bigger than it looked in the photos. The two beds were spaced nicely, so it didn't feel cramped at all. Housekeeping was excellent; the bedding and bathroom were spotless. The hotel's location is convenient, close to the seafood market and the jetty, which saved a lot of time for our boat excursions. The lobby is spacious, and the overall environment felt relaxing and comfortable. The front desk staff were welcoming and could communicate in Chinese, making our stay very pleasant. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Semporna.

LLiudoufuSanitary: The room is very clean,
Service: The service attitude is good, you can send meals to the room, and you can pick up and drop off for the visitor center for free.
Facilities: complete facilities and large rooms.
Environment: Not far from the visitor center, about ten minutes by car, 2.6 kilometers walking, free pick -up and delivery is very intimate. It is very convenient to connect to WeChat. It is recommended to check in. The only disadvantage is that there is a mosque in the back, praying on time at 5:00 every day. This is Muslim custom, praying five times a day
