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

Loved everything about our stay here. The view from the bungalow is out of this world. Food was great and in plentiful supply. The staff are great, Maman and his team are friendly and professional. Loads of snorkelling and diving activities bookable direct from the property.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. Overall cleanliness was excellent. The room, although without a window (which should be clearly stated on Booking.com to avoid surprises), felt cozy thanks to its warm lighting and thoughtful decorations. The location is great, making it easy to get around and explore the area. Breakfast was a highlight—delicious and adapted to our preferences. The staff truly stood out: professional, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile.

A Hidden Gem in Semporna!" The Firefly Resort is a paradise above the sea! The breathtaking restaurant set up with high roof and wood designed tables, chairs and bars, and impeccable service make it an unforgettable experience. I loved the eco-friendly approach and the dedication to preserving the local forest life as I could see squirrels jumping outside my room during my walk to and back my room.. and could a some fireflies at the darkest areas of the pathway. New Year's Eve (NYE) night part was exciting and fun with a live band where you can ask for your favourite songs, a spectacular light show , decorations for NYE . Food was incredible with free flow tiger prawns, roast lamb, grill beef, clams ,crabs , butter chicken, and more .. drinks were free flow beer and Sarawak beer whee I can't get anywhere in Semporna. Fireworks were so long for 1hour in total of 6 sets of fireworks. Tons of people. Bedrooms were clean and the mattress was of highest quality that I can sleep immediately like in Hilton . Staff were so helpful, people there were so friendly. Can't wait to come back!

The balcony is the best part for a diver with their wet equipments, and it's the crucial reason why I chose here. It took a night and my equipment all dry. The free shuttle between the jety and the hotel is convenient, and the only thing I have to do is to make a single call telling where I am. Though the hallway is full of durian smell from other guests, the room still smell free from it. The room has sufficient international sockets, good.

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.

It was a very fine hotel - basic, but clean, with hot shower and all necessities. I do not share the poor opinions - we were satisfied with our stay. In particular, the surroundings were not dodgy at all - certainly not more than the centre of Semporna (which is a super ugly and unappealing city in general). The hotel area is a bit on the side from the centre, but is fairly calm, has small, local restaurants, several laundry services and small shops - very normal area.

choices are limited with only tuna bread sandwich & one cup of coffee [ prison food]...definitely not buffet breakfast! hotel is near jetty and facing main road, even with the double glazed glass panels ,,,,sound proofing is not so great , speed boat sound & motorbikes sound at night & early morning is challenging. book grace hotel is a better choice, not grace samudera hotel.

The hostel was great with arranging for a late airport pickup for much cheaper than anything else. Spent a night here before heading to Mabul Island and it worked out. It's amazing that they include breakfast for that price. The companies they recommend for tours and diving are good companies and the prices are amongst the cheapest in all of Semporna.
