It was a wonderful experience for us (me, my wife and 2 boys). Snorkelling was acessible and the water was visible to see the various corals and fishes/sea creatures. Unfortunately, my son was vomitting at night. In the following morning, the staff happily helped prepare some eggs and porridge. A big shoutout to James for touring me and my wife around and explaining the interesting things about the area. Also proactively helped me with my luggage and offered a family photo for us. He definitely made our experience more memorable. My wife said that our stay was even more magical thanks to James. Hope to come back for a longer stay.
1. The inclusive dinner provided was great for adults but it was very spicy so my son could barely eat anything. Would be nice to have a balance of spicy and nonspicy food especially with kids around. 2. Stayed only for 1 night which wasnt enough 😂

Beautiful location in the sea. You can snorkle and swim straight from the water house into shallow water. You can arrange the boat tours to the surrounding islands from the Waterhouse. Positive that it was owned by a local Malei family - a lot of the surrounding accommodations seemed owned by Chinese investors.
It lacked some love and interest from the family running it. The food was mediocre: breakfast very limited for western guests, dinner was ok but like in other reviews: much of the same every meal and not as good as maleisian food can be. The accommodation opposite to our room played loud karaoke. Overall for us the semporna area was disappointing after seeing such beautiful places in sabah: crowded with mass tourism, the beautiful islands spoiled with tourists only busy making pictures, little respect for the beautiful nature. Our advice: skip semporna and find a more quiet island, like Mantanani.
