This hostel is located very strategic and all the restaurant, pharmacy, mini market,etc is within the walking distance. The room was clean. It has hot shower, A/C, amenities, coffee and tea as well. It comes with drinking water too. Room not too big but not too small as well. The hostel doesn't have a lift. It has a common area for people to hang out and have some coffee and tea. The staff was superb. Her name is Fadilah if I got her right. She returned back my wallet which I lost it and she found it at the front door of the hostel. She saved my day. I must give her a two thumbs up for this. The wallet was returned to be as it was before it was drop at the front door table. Thank you Fadilah. This will be my next hostel whenever I will come to Semporna. It has dorm as well with cheaper price.

This hotel is newly built in Semporna. Overall it is good, but the breakfast is really hard to describe. The hotel front desk collected the deposit, but did not remind them about the deposit when checking out. I forgot about it in the rush. Fortunately, the hotel negotiated and passed it on to Ctrip. Thank you. However, I would like to remind everyone not to forget. Also, when you check in at the hotel, you need to see if taxes have been paid. Just bring out the English documents. Also, there is no need for a sea view room. If the sea view is very poor, it is better to decide. Attached is a picture of the appearance of the Lighthouse Hotel to help you see which one it is.

I went to Malaysia in November. Thanks to the hostess and staff for their home-like service, the whole trip was perfect. The hotel is small, has a warm living atmosphere, and is clean and tidy. There are 24-hour self-service refreshments and a drum washing machine on the first floor. There is a large balcony on the second floor for drying clothes and a refrigerator. There is a young lady at the front desk who speaks fluent Chinese and a young man who speaks fluent English and works the night shift. Thanks to the boss lady for arranging the Tawau airport transfer and one-day tour. Especially the half-day tour of Lover's Bay water sports, my parents had a great time. The restaurants we ate at were all recommended by the proprietress, and they were affordable and friendly. I was lucky enough to meet the proprietress in person. She was polite and tall. I also saw Indonesian CJS giving a speech at the stadium. I wish the boss lady a prosperous business and I wish Tawau has an airport worthy of Semporna’s international status.

One of the most comfortable hotels to stay in Semporna. I regret not booking a later date. If I do, I won’t be able to book it. It's a few minutes' walk to the pier and a few minutes' walk to the seafood market. The service and atmosphere of the restaurant downstairs is 20rm per person, which is comparable to that of domestic steakhouses. First, let’s talk about the supporting facilities: the hotel has 4 floors in total and is relatively newly decorated. The first floor is the reception hall with an elegant rest area. There will be staff to open the door to greet you warmly and help you carry your luggage. Next door is a cafe and dining room with an elegant environment. The area is also open to the outside world. There are guest rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors. There are many rooms. Our 300-per-night double room with breakfast for two also comes with a single bed. It has a lot of space and a long table, which is great for putting things. It has a hairdryer and a clothes drying rack. The room faces the sea and has a balcony. The fourth floor is the breakfast room, which has a rich variety and good air conditioning. It has Chinese and Western styles, which are very suitable for Chinese tastes. There is also fried rice noodles, where you can eat while looking at the sea view. Transportation: It is very close to the pier, about 600 meters on foot. Even if there is no car to pick up and drop off at sea, it only takes a few minutes to walk there. It is also very close to the seafood market, which is also a few hundred meters. There is a relatively large convenience store downstairs, which is more convenient for buying water and daily necessities. Let’s talk about the service: they can communicate in Chinese, which is very convenient. They greeted us with a warm smile throughout the process and helped us with our luggage. When they saw us using our mobile phones to find navigation in the lobby, they would proactively ask if we needed help, and they could shuttle us to the pier and back to the hotel for free. Let’s talk about the food: The food in the restaurant downstairs is the most comfortable meal we have had in Sabah and Semporna. The environment is elegant, the taste is very in line with Chinese tastes, and the presentation is beautiful and exquisite, and the price is affordable. A portion of pasta or rice with meat. The set menu only costs 10.09rm, and the same chocolate frappuccino from Starbucks only costs 10.09rm, and it’s still a super large cup. There are many choices of various drinks, which is really cost-effective. The taste is great! The only disadvantage of this hotel is that it faces the street and is noisy with cars coming and going. However, most hotels in Semporna and Sabah are facing the street and will be noisy. This is a common problem. During the more than a week we were here, the hotel was noisy every day. This problem occurs in different hotels I have stayed in. Fortunately, the rooms are relatively large and have windows, so the ventilation is quite good.

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.

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.

Sea Star Perfect resort. Perfect location. Perfect staff. Wonderful owner, ERIC, who has great PR 👍🏻. Staff is respectful and friendly. I cannot ask for more. Highly recommend Sea Star Resort. We bought a 3D2N Sea Star Resort package. It included a return transfer by van from Tawau Airport to Semporna boat jetty which took almost 1.5h, a 10-minute boat ride to Sea Star Resort, a whole day of island hopping and snorkelling, all meals (breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner 👍🏻), free usage of inflatables, transparent paddle boat and snorkelling gear and unlimited supply of drinking water. The room is very clean and spacious- had a king size bed plus a day bed. Bath area was spacious and attractive. Really love this place very much. Look at the video I have attached! Air conditioned, good internet connection and extended balcony. Food is local buffet style. We enjoyed all our meals there. You will get an assortment of dishes. For dinner, you get good large prawns 🍤 and fish👍🏻. Tea is special- besides 2-3 types if local cakes, you get an endless supply of banana fritters which are very addictive 👍🏻 The sea water around the resort and beyond is crystal clear. You can always see the marine creatures in the water. From 4pm, use of inflatables, transparent paddle boat and snorkelling gear are supervised. Very kind staff who are ever ready to lend a helping hand. We are grateful to Eric, Gordon, Amsyar, Lisa and all the Sea Star Resort staff. We will be back!

Facilities: There is a shuttle bus to the town, which is relatively new. Service: Basically everyone can speak Chinese, the service is very enthusiastic, super five-star Hygiene: The bathroom is in a wasteland style. Check the photos in advance to see if it is acceptable. Environment: The sound insulation is not very good at night, because it is on the roadside, so you can hear the sound of large cars passing by at night.

In terms of appearance, it is hard not to be moved! The room is fresh and clean, the visual effect is bright, the staff is warm and thoughtful, the hotel environment is good, and the service is in place.
