    We had a wonderful stay! The owner, who also manages the property, was extremely friendly and responsive throughout our visit. Our return flight to KUL was in the late evening, and they graciously allowed us to check out at our own convenience....

    - Sehr guter Service - sauberes und großes Zimmer - etwas außerhalb von Semporna, was uns aber auch zugesagt hat (über Grab ist alles gut erreichbar)

    房间很大很大,因为我们有老人,还帮我们升级了低楼层的房间。卫生很干净,需要打扫响应也很及时。离码头2公里多,grab5-15Rm,打车需要有点耐心。周围都是居民区,很安静,鸟语花香的。其他事情服务也很及时。附近有几个当地人的餐厅和咖啡馆很好。
