Sipadan-Mabul Resort, Semporna, Sabah.

Our all time favorite place to come, stay, dive, eat and be happy. The service is excellent and welcoming, food is always tasty and the diving is world class with great dive guides. We have had the same dive guides since 1999 and he is the king of macro, Jasni. This time we also went XR diving with back mount twins and deco50's to some of our fav dive sites with more gas and more time! When you dive here, that's what you need more time and more gas because all the amazing macro and pelagics are found here. I can't begin to describe all the amazing critters we discover here. It's truly paradise that we will continue coming to SMART. Thank you for taking great care of us always on each visit. We event find need marine life each time. So again thank you for providing another memorable experience for us.

We stayed on the landsite in one of the bungalows and had the best time. The rooms are located right by the beach, which is perfect for morning/evening walks and the free buggy-service to the water bungalows was seamless and quick. For what you get at staying at the resort (3 dives/snorkel trips a day and unlimited shore dives), it‘s absolutely a great resort with very friendly staff and amazing service.

This resort is run down and mostly closed, it looked to be a wonderful scuba resort once upon a time ! The over water Bungalows are beautiful as is the scenery. Food is very average and be ready to dodge the hundreds of tourists that get boated over for the day to take selfies at the resort! The dive crew and diving itself was outstanding though. Diving at sipadan island is world class, and worth the other grumbles.
