New building and clean apartment. We had chosen the property mainly because of the pool but it was exceptionally closed due to a maintenance issue during our stay. The host reacted very well and offered partial compensation.

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

The hotel location is right at the city centre but it is quiet. It is very convenient wherever you want to go. The room is not big but comfortable. There is a cafe at the roof top that you could enjoy a good sunset.

The location is handy, just five minutes from the bus station in Semporna, and close to anything you'd want to visit downtown - restaurants, dive shops, the jetty, etc. Use of the washing machine was very handy.

Resort location is quite good and the grounds are beautiful. Staff were overall very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is comfortable and the food is pretty good. It would be a lovely place to stay if you are a couple or a family but wouldn't recommend to solo travellers.

The perfect place to stay in Semporna, close to all the restaurant and dive centers. Quiet area, friendly staff and very very clean. I´d stay here again if I come back. They even organize tours that are cheaper than in other place and good organized. The dive instructors were great. All in all happy!
