MANJU SEMPORNA RESORT

MANJU SEMPORNA RESORT

Semporna|4.41km from city center

Latest booking 7 hrs ago

Staying at Manju Linshe Resort was the wisest decision I made during this trip to Semporna, and I highly recommend it. The boss is Cantonese and very nice. Most of the employees are Chinese and communication is smooth. Accommodation: The room is spacious and the flowers in the yard are beautiful and comfortable. Much more comfortable than the hotels in Semporna town. OK: The hotel is 10 minutes away from the town's sea pier. There is a car to pick you up and drop you off every day when you go out to sea and island hopping. Just tell the boss the location on WeChat. Food: The boss personally leads a team to the seafood market to bargain for prices. Huge Pipi shrimps can cost dozens of yuan, and Samui and Dongxing Pan can cost dozens of yuan each. Three kilograms of lobster cost several hundred yuan. And the hotel makes it according to the requirements, and the taste is not inferior to that of domestic five-star hotels. Play: The boss can help you book a sea trip at any time. We booked two lines. After having fun, we decided to book a third line. The boss directly booked the ship for departure the next day at the original price. Summary: Semporna is mainly about island hopping and eating cheap seafood. I originally wanted to live on an island, but the price was expensive, so I had to book it months in advance. If you live on an island, you cannot jump to other islands. And you can only eat buffets on the island. The living conditions in the town are much worse, and there are so many people and it’s chaotic. Cheap seafood is one of Semporna’s special features. Staying at Manju Linshe Resort, you can eat seafood freely at one-tenth the domestic price. I earned my travel expenses back after eating for three days. I jumped on all three lines of the island hopping tour. Saw the beautiful scenery of the island. The seafood is delicious, and it costs the most for a day on the island. Plus the boss's home-like service. Don't be too happy with the price/performance ratio.

Ocean Inn Semporna

Semporna|0.25km from city center
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.

At first glance, I feel that the homestay is not very good, but after staying, it feels great, very warm, and very warm. It is a caring homestay with a clean and quiet environment. There is no shortage of restaurants around. The yard is breezy during the day and the flowers are scented at night. Behind the center of the sea, I feel that the tropical rain forest is the right choice. The handsome and handsome manager speaks Cantonese. The hotel also has two fixed-point vehicles to pick up and drop off to the town center. Breakfast is different for three days. The free afternoon tea is simple, but delicious. The room Not big and clean. The first time I went to Semporna, I only booked a room. It turns out that the tropical rain forest can also be booked for a day trip to island hopping. Compared with the Internet, the site will be similar to the online booking. So I booked three islands for a day. I thought it was with other people. After joining the group, we found that it was a group of 4 of us, and three of us served us. Among them, diving guides and professional underwater photography of the thin brother Big Fei from the fat world, regardless of snorkeling and snorkeling, all followed to help take pictures, and the little black brother pulled it. The lifebuoy is always taken to watch the underwater world, and the service is extremely considerate. The next day, I reported the deep diving experience to the child. Fortunately, I haven't booked an island hopping tour online before. When booking on the spot, Brother Dafei will patiently explain to us how to play. Summarizing the tropical rain forest, I booked a homestay for two more days.

POM POM Island Resort
3.7/520 Reviews

POM POM Island Resort

Pom Pom Island
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.

I Love U BnB Semporna
5/53 Reviews
When I was doing the strategy guide, I saw someone mention this homestay because there is a communal kitchen for cooking, and I made a decisive decision. For the three nights in Semporna, only 2 of them were booked. This is too popular. When I arrived, I found it was really worth it. The environment of the homestay is very good, and the sanitation is very clean. There is a complete kitchen and condiments in the communal kitchen. There is a big yard for drying clothes. The housekeeper is very nice. The boss I happened to meet was the boss wife. In the morning, they drove us to the pier. There is also breakfast. Really great value for money. I changed 3 hotels in 7 days in Sabah, and this one is the most comfortable and cleanest. Same as my own home.
7 Inn Semporna
4.1/524 Reviews
My friend and me booked 2 rooms in total and stayed 4 nights in. Opposite 7 inn there is Basar malam, a Mcdonald, a cafe opposite and a gas station with mini mart, living here is convenient. However it’s a bit far to the harbour by 1km. So, they provide free transport to any potion of the town area, just WhatsApp the driver and he always turn up to pick up us on time! We called at least 5 times of pick up service as considering 7 inn was around 1km from harbour that every excursion starts so by walking it will be 10-15 mins. The container room is spacious with a lovely balcony with 2 chairs. Shared toilet and shower is located at each storey and with like 3 showers and 3 WCs. Bed is spacious and with good pillow and mattress always make me fall asleep easily. In general, I do appreciate 7 inn although I did not encounter many tourists during my stay due to Covid and the entire semporna looks still not yet recovered to before. By the way, 7 inn do not provide drying cloth service but they will send you to a nearby laundry to do washing and drying if you need it. This is very important as our clothes are unable to dry up during our entire stay although 2 of the 4 days are sunny day…

The location is very good, very close to the pier, the bedding is clean and comfortable, you need to take off your shoes when entering the door.

The recommended supper is also delicious. recommended stay The only thing to note is that he is on the third floor, not the second!
Larapan Water Village
5/55 Reviews
A very wonderful water house experience. First of all, the boss answers questions very attentively and seriously. Every detail is considerate for tourists. Both pick-up and drop-off are well arranged. There are three meals a day. The breakfast, lunch and dinner taste good and the ingredients are fresh! There are also arrangements for afternoon tea! In the snorkeling area arranged by the boss, you can see a lot of corals and small fish, and you can have a panoramic view of the underwater world. The waters are more beautiful than the island hopping we arranged ourselves. There are two beds and a sofa bed in the room, which is more convenient for bringing children. You can see the sea view from every window, and it is also very pleasant to sit on the balcony!
Jelly Sea Resort
4.8/516 Reviews
The Jelly Sea is truly a real Jelly Sea. There are eight water houses built on the sea rising slowly on the sparkling sea. My wife and I’s honeymoon trip started here. The three-day and two-night trip was really pleasant. Not only Not only is the boss amiable, but the Malay people at the resort also speak Chinese. When you come to Semporna, you can communicate without any barriers at Jelly Sea. This time we chose the Ocean Park Battleship Island route on the second day at Jelly Sea. The tour guide cooperated by Ctrip also specially came to the island to pick us up, which provided great convenience. If you go to Ctrip abroad, you can complete the entire journey without any problem. In addition, let’s talk about the decoration of Jelly Sea. It is newly opened in August and the standards are all We came here as a 5-star hotel, and you can go into the water in the room. But because we were also island hopping and snorkeling the next day, we just had a little fun at the resort. There are a lot of starfish on the seabed that you can pick up and watch. There are a lot of them. The little fish will surround you and make you dream about
