The hotel is very new, and the service is excellent. You can tell a lot of thought went into the interior design—stylish and well-executed. The breakfast is also quite good; the cheese chicken wrap is delicious, though it's not available every day. On weekend evenings, there's live music at the bar, which creates a great atmosphere. I also really liked the mystery box cocktails—they were a fun surprise.

The staff has been exceptional with us, very friendly and super helpful with any request of ours. Moreover, we had a small issue with the water not working in our room for a couple of hours, but the staff was super kind and fixed the problem as fast as they could and to apologise they gifted us a piece of cake. Moreover, they had all the amenities we needed, hair dryer, air-con (which was already on in order to cool down the room), shampoo, soap, etc etc. Bed was comfortable.

It’s very quite. The staff is very very nice. Very nice experience for me and my mom to come to this bungalow. The food is good taste but a little bit simple, because there is only one chef for cooking and she’s a local. However we enjoy the food

    Important and interesting history related to the British influence for town development; especially the story that unfolded and is memorialized about the war years and the sad fate of many Aust & Brit POW's and the of local Sabah supporters and underground. The history of extensive logging and use of timber was of professional interest to me as a forester. The brutal destruction of the timber buildings by the Japanese military was bad - and the gradual rebuild over following 10 -20 years is remarkable. Its notablel that the central city is declining due to lack of regular upgrade and maintenance, and influx of certain migrant groups and housing needs. Also notable that commercial business and new shops have expanded out into modernized precincts away from town centre. Proximity to Sepolik rainforest reserve and other wildlife conservation parks is great for travellers to eastern Sabah. Local malaysian people are friendly and easy to relat to in the main.

    Semporna is a scruffy little town that's trying to up its game but unfortunately has a ways to go. The beautiful outlying islands draw loads of tourists with zero environmental awareness. The local tour operators do little to encourage good practices. The streets and particularly the harbor are full of trash. The locals eat out about half the time so restaurant options are abundant. Prices for just about everything are low and snorkeling and other tours offer good value. If you go to dive or snorkel, please bring up some trash after making sure nothing is living on it.

    There are many places with a Mountain View, and there are also places for taking selfies - but you need to pay RM5 per entry - around the main roundabout at the centre of town. Halal food aplenty, but you need to confirm by checking the Google review - not all those wearing headscarves are Muslim and common names like Lidya can be misleading too. Do check out the Pasar Tamu Kundasang or morning market at the Night Market area - got to know new types of fruits like buah cinta, halia hutan, avocado cheese and so much more. You can buy cinnamon sticks for souvenirs to take home - long as a walking stick or short ready to use ones! A must-visit to Desa Dairy Farm for the fresh milk, yogurt, gelato & calf feeding!

    Only a 20 minute ride from Sandakan Airport so it’s worthwhile checking out for the day. There is only about 1 whole days worth of activities in the area I.e. the Orangutan Center, the Sun Bear center and then the rainforest discovery Center. I probably wouldn’t recommend more than 1 day in this area unless you want to do some of the extensive forest and mangrove walls that are at the rainforest discovery Center - but they’re more for the dry season rather than the rainy season. I strongly do NOT recommend the probiscus sanctuary back in Sandakan as it’s more of a single species zoo only - it’s much better to get out to the nearby Kandabangan River Area

    Beautiful and great place to experience. Enjoy the whole trip. We plan to return fit & strong to trek Mount Kinabalu. Don't miss out. Great place for a family holiday. Don't have to travel to Europe to gain such a fascinating view, Only be mindful, a lot of uphill if u wanna walk around. Great place for retirement if u love trekking n love nature. Love the attitude of road users. No horn

    An amazing location - wonderful views over the bay from our very nice room. We loved seeing the monkeys, hornbills, monitor lizards and geckos. The staff were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed spending time at the simple private beach a short boat ride away. Make sure you arrive at Jesselton Point at least an hour before your speedboat leaves as they check you in there and it can take ages. Evening dining is either a fish restaurant, a Japanese restaurant or a bewilderingly large buffet.

    A good area for spotting wildlife, but I would recommend staying in a smaller family-run accommodation as you get a better personal service and excellent local knowledge. Early morning and late afternoon and night boat trips offer great opportunities to see the wildlife. We enjoyed walking round the local village, but there are not many places to eat out. We had all our meals at the homestay.

    Kota Kinabalu is the most cosmopolitan of the cities in Sarawak and Sabah. Shopping is good, plenty of eateries and the inner city is walkable . The traffic like in all Malaysian cities is horrific. I want to point out that taxies in Malaysia don't have meters any more and charge for transport whatever the want (always to much) compared to Grab/Uber.
