Property was newly renovated so we had a beautiful new room to ourselves . Bed was comfortable, views were absolutely gorgeous. We even saw a turtle right in front of our room. The owners were absolutely amazing; very accommodating, helped us with everything from booking tours to transport. Food was delicious, and they even helped us haggle for fresh seafood

WiFi was strong for a water bungalow (expected non-existent) and reached the rooms. Small cozy place with lots of space to enjoy the fantastic view and water. I did refresher dives in preparation for sipadan and hadn't dived in a long time. Instructor was patient and ensured I was drilled on the critical basics. Coordination with the admin team on my dives + a snorkelling day trip (different check-in and out timings) was surprisingly smooth as on-ground staff were well briefed on logistics. Food is good and they take orders to buy seafood and cook it for u. That was my best meal of the whole trip as the restos in town are complete ripoffs.

The staff all friendly and helpful. A nice bonus having free transportation to/from town. The room is small but if you travel light then enough space. Nice hot shower with free toiletries. Lots of self-serve laundry close by. The bed was firm but comfortable.

Our three-night stay at Firefly Resort was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Toni and his team welcomed us with warmth and care, making us feel at home right away. The service was outstanding, the room comfortable and well-kept, and the restaurant offered delicious meals in a beautiful setting. Every detail reflected great attention and genuine hospitality. What made the experience even more special was the personal touch of Toni and his staff, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The beauty of the location, together with the convenient shuttle service to Semporna, made it easy to enjoy the region. Here we found much of what we were looking for in Sabah, and it helped make our journey unforgettable. I highly recommend Firefly to anyone travelling from far away in search of peace, the beauty of nature, and true comfort. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

It was near the jetty so it was easy for those planning to do some island hopping. 7eleven was only a 5 minute walk. Loads of restaurant options. Money changer right below the place.

Once a humble coastal town, it’s now becoming increasingly tourist-oriented. Seafood tends to be on the pricier side unless you’re skilled at bargaining. Diving here offers mostly smaller marine life, especially when compared to the vibrant underwater scenes of the Maldives. Night dives aren’t permitted unless you’re staying at one of the pricier water resorts that offer in-house diving. It’s fine for a short getaway, but there’s not much in the way of standout attractions or culinary experiences.

Semporna is essentially a fishing town and island transport hub. Not much appeal in my opinion other than it being the start/finish point for most Sipidan diving trips; that’s the only real pull for tourists, and unless you are heading out to the islands there are probably other nicer places on Borneo.

The place is not for everybody, very poor people, small homeless children playing and begging around, however I enjoyed the local experience. There is nothing to do here so if you are going for diving you are ok or for an island hopping tour that was very nice snorkelling.

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.

This is the filthiest town we have visited.

This is the filthiest town we have visited. There is garbage everywhere, including the ocean that washes it onto the beaches tourists come to visit. Footpaths are broken and full of trip hazards as well as being non-existent in some places. Fortunately they drive slowly and avoid people walking on the road. Little children begging is another sad reality. However, the snorkelling is still much better than KK,and you'll get used to the garbage after a couple of days. The waterfront restaurant strip has great cheap seafood.

You really need a local guide to make sure you stay in areas that are safe and clean. If you do your research, there are lot of amazing things to see and explore. 10/10 would recommend island hopping boat tour for a day.

Located just 30 minutes from Semporna town, the resort is accessible by boat from the port at Seafest Square. From the room, there's a lovely view of Bohay Dulang island. The resort itself has a charming, down-to-earth feel—simple, local, and welcoming. Stunning coral reefs lie just offshore, and guests are provided with complimentary life vests and snorkels to explore them. Delicious meals are served free throughout the day, adding to the sense of ease. Staying here feels truly relaxing—a gentle retreat into nature and simplicity.

The staff is absolutely kind and efficient. They're willing to help you anytime. Restaurant is very good with a perfect quality/price proportion. They even offered you, to purchase fresh seafood on the market, bring it and they cook it for you. Comfortable rooms. Good size, good beds. Clean and with air conditioning. They also offer transport for free to and from Semporna. I would highly recommend it!!

Perfect location by the pier for the tours and all the restaurants around, this hostel was an unexpected surprise in Semporna. The room was small but the bed space so comfy, featuring a ventilator and a mobile shelve for your things. The common space was very big to chill and work, the WiFi good and the showers modern and spacious. The best discovery in Semporna's limited offers.
