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!!

HHuaguoshandianbaohouFive-star review, highly recommend Barracuda Den! Semporna is notorious for its dirty and messy accommodations, but Barracuda Den has no real competition at its price point. The location is excellent, just 700 meters from Hai Feng Pier, making it a 10-minute walk to catch boats for island hopping. Right outside the door, you'll find all sorts of food options, which is super convenient. It's safe, with card access required for entry and exit. It's clean; I even saw staff doing a thorough cleaning. Every time you close the door to the guesthouse, you can completely disconnect yourself from the chaotic and dirty environment outside. The guesthouse offers free toast, instant noodles, and cooking utensils. As a fan of simple meals, it was great to have fried eggs, toasted bread, and hot tea every day! The washing machine is free to use, which is a big plus since many accommodations in Semporna charge for laundry. The staff are very friendly, and the seafood restaurant they recommended next door was also very affordable. Absolutely no complaints!

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. 😁

GGuest UserFrom the moment I placed the order, customer service representative Xiao Min provided one-on-one support. Everything was arranged meticulously, and the guide was very detailed, so I never had to worry about getting lost or going the wrong way. I also received timely reminders at every step, truly experiencing a butler-style service.
The overwater bungalow's location was good. It was a bit further from the pier, which was perfect because bungalows too close to the pier can have issues with trash in the water. Here, you could directly see the coral and small fish on the seabed – there were so many fish! Snorkeling was excellent, and we even saw sea turtles. The local staff were all very friendly, and the evenings were lively with them playing guitar and singing.
The overwater bungalow was newly built and clean. They even set up a simple extra bed for our child, which was a nice touch! The facilities were decent, considering it's over the water. But the views were unbeatable – lying there watching the sunset and seeing fish and starfish in the water below was absolutely beautiful.

QQIQINNNI brought my family here at the last minute. It was surprisingly good! The place is clean, and it's only a 5-minute walk to Jeti Semporna. It's really worth it for a short stay. Sorry, no relevant photos, I forgot to take pictures of the room.

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.
6.7/10
GGuest UserReally basic hotel. All of the other reviews are correct about the state of it but the location is perfect!!! So close to the best restaurant area and by the water. I would highly recommend staying in this area of semporna. Just know that you're getting a basic room.
