Facilities: Sufficient water supply for bathing. Went there at 3🈷️. The weather was changeable. There was a fan in the room. It was windy at night and it was still a bit cold when it was turned on at level 5.
Hygiene: Very clean. There was a timed mist sprayer in the room, and the whole room was fragrant. The bed was very soft and elastic, and it was very comfortable to sleep on👍🏻
Experience: I met the Bajau people who sold seafood. I couldn't understand the language. The hotel's housekeeper translated and helped to communicate. It didn't matter if I didn't buy. It was a very sincere and wonderful experience. Diving🤿 is available at any time from morning to evening on the same day. Equipment needs to be rented for more than 30 RM a day. The mouthpiece is very clean and newly replaced. The one I bought myself was not used. You can also fish on the rooftop. There are many swordfish at night because the light is concentrated around, there are a lot of fish, and the water quality is very clean

Guest UserOur stay at Orange Beach House exceeded all expectations! The facilities are new and well-maintained, and the room was spacious and clean. The butler and staff were attentive and reliable, quick to resolve any requests we had. Just outside the door is a stunning ocean, with crystal-clear water and distinct layers of color. The sea views were beautiful morning and night. The privacy was excellent, and the overall resort atmosphere was perfect. It's truly a must-visit water bungalow in Semporna, highly recommended.

Guest UserCompared to other hotels in town, The Firefly Resort Semporna has a really nice environment, with a tropical rainforest vibe. The rooms are individual bungalows. There's a shuttle service to and from town, which is quite convenient, and the staff speak Chinese and are very friendly. The downside is that the internet here is terrible! There's basically no signal, so all you can do is lie around and stare into space. The price isn't cheap either; for a few hundred more, you could stay in a water bungalow.

Guest UserIt took a 30-minute speedboat ride from Haifeng Pier to reach the overwater bungalows. The surroundings are beautiful, with clear blue waters, and sitting in the lobby feels incredibly serene and comfortable. The room was also nice, facing the ocean, which was a real treat. Although the facilities were a bit old, it's understandable – being out at sea, exposed to wind and sun, things are bound to age faster than usual! The service was excellent, and the owner was very helpful. My child left their phone in the pick-up car, and it was quickly found and returned to us, which we really appreciated! The overwater bungalows were a memorable and wonderful part of our family's trip!

After a full trip, I returned to Semporna and this time I switched to a different hotel. As a 'Gold Diamond' member, I'm grateful that the platform always recommends excellent hotels to me. This time, I blindly booked a highly-rated resort. The environment is elegant and quiet, like a hidden paradise. The hotel has a swimming pool and is close to the seafood market. The room is clean and well-organized. Just relaxing in the hotel is also a great option. I will definitely choose this place again on my next visit.

Hotel 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.

Guest UserThree days, two nights, and every day brought a new kind of 'excitement.' Day one, the air conditioning didn't work, there were tons of mosquitoes, and the shower only had cold water. The only decent thing for dinner was the fried shrimp, which disappeared in seconds, and the few other dishes available were practically snatched away. It felt like a refugee experience. Day two, we got a different room. After swimming, I went back to shower, and there was no water, then cold water, then extremely hot water, constantly cycling. The water pressure was also incredibly low; I almost lost my mind trying to rinse the shampoo out of my hair. That night, it was very windy, and there was a lot of noise outside, as if something wasn't properly secured. On the third day, as we were checking out, our luggage was mistakenly taken by a staff member and given to other guests. It was only returned after the other guests realized the error. Our luggage was perfectly fine in the restaurant; how dare you just take it away? Do you have any basic management sense? Of course, the environment is nice, that's the only highlight. Given how expensive it was during Chinese New Year, you should provide a service level that matches the price. The buffet was cafeteria-standard, and we still had to fight for food. Are you not ashamed?

Pleasant overnight escape at Nusa Kuya Resort with a group of four, and we truly made the most of it! From snorkeling in the clear waters to enjoying the buffet, belting out songs at karaoke, and watching the turtles—it was a full, fun itinerary. Every activity felt worth it, and the friendly, accommodating staff made the experience even better. Definitely a memorable short getaway!

Xumoumou0108Finally checked into the Jellyfish Water Bungalow, and the real-life views are even more stunning than the photos! The crystal-clear 'jellyfish' ocean is visible to the naked eye, and you can snorkel right off your balcony and encounter many small marine creatures. The room was clean and comfortable, and the net bed added a fantastic vibe. Our butler communicated smoothly in Chinese and provided excellent service. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise and sunset made for an unforgettable overwater experience in Semporna. Highly recommended!

It’s similar to hotels/guesthouses in China, and much simpler than domestic budget hotel chains such as Home Inns or GreenTree Inn. Hotels in Sabah generally feel two stars lower than those in China. The one I stayed in in Kota Kinabalu is owned by Marriott The Le Méridien hotel is also comparable to domestic All Seasons hotels, so don’t expect too much.
The sanitation is quite clean, and there are often people chanting sutras with loud speakers in the morning and evening... overall it's not bad.
It is two kilometers away from the pier and takes a taxi for 6-8RM. You can go to the seafood market to bargain for dragon knives, which is quite fun!
