Best Hotels near Tun Sakaran Marine Park, Semporna, Sabah., Tawau Division

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.

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 😂

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.

I stayed here for more than 10 days for diving. The location is moderate, about 5.6 minutes away from the pier of Feima Hotel. There is heavy traffic during the day, but it is very quiet at night. The room is clean and you can directly see the sea and the newly built mosque next to it. There is a washing machine and you can wash your own clothes. If you find it troublesome, you can pay the staff 5 yuan to help wash and dry them. There is also a kitchen where you can cook your own meals if you are interested.

The hotel is not in the town, but about 3 kilometers away from the pier. The transportation is quite convenient. The hotel has a shuttle bus to the pier every morning and evening. It needs to be reserved in advance, but the front desk did not inform it in advance. The room is very clean. You can take the elevator by swiping your card. The staff can provide services in both Chinese and English. The service attitude is very good. The breakfast variety is average, the hygiene of the restaurant needs to be improved, mosquitoes flew around the table while eating🤣🤣. There are convenience stores and restaurants nearby, and the prices are relatively moderate. Overall, the hotel experience is good.

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.

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…

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.

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.

The resort environment gives people a refreshing feeling, the experience is good, and the rooms are clean and tidy. The most important thing is that the resort has a Chinese-speaking butler, so communication is barrier-free. There is also a free minibus to and from Semporna town, which makes our travel worry-free. The Malay food cooked by a Malay chef is also very good. Next time I bring my family to Semporna, I will stay at your place!
