Semporna Hotels with Breakfast

Choosing Beanstalk Homestay for my Semporna trip was absolutely the right decision! The owner and staff are incredibly warm and welcoming, treating you like friends. Before I even arrived, they patiently answered all my questions and gave me tons of practical tips for island hopping and dining. While the room isn't luxurious, it's spotlessly clean, the AC works great, there's plenty of hot water, and the bedding is really comfortable. Getting a good night's sleep after a day of activities is so important. The service was the biggest plus! The seafood preparation prices were excellent, and the breakfast, though simple, was thoughtfully prepared – coffee, toast, and eggs, perfect for fueling up before heading out to sea. Next time I'm in Semporna, I'll definitely stay at Beanstalk Homestay again.

This resort is considered quite good in Semporna in terms of environment. You can order dinner at the resort, and the food is delicious! After dinner, the owner, haha, sings karaoke. He's really good, like Semporna's Eason Chan 👍🏻 Whenever you need to go to the jetty or town, you can just message the resort on WeChat to arrange a car. They basically have one departing every half hour, which is super convenient. We hardly needed to take taxis; the resort handled all our transfers. For the airport, we took a taxi, which was also quite convenient. The resort has a pet mynah bird, haha, best employee! It says hi every time you pass by. All the resort staff are lovely and enthusiastic. Thanks for the hospitality! The overall greenery of the property is very comfortable. The only downside is the weak Wi-Fi signal. Hope they can improve that, and it would be even better.

first is the floor, it is sticky, it is sticky in the room and also at the gathering or public area where we take our meals. Next is the issue with the toilet, the shower head is broken, it's leaking and the water is too strong and thin, it is hurting me when i try to bathe. Thirdly, the floor mat is dirty and too thin, it is not absorbing water as it should. Fourth, the floor also has a lot of dust and sand. Fifth, the hotel does not have enough electrical plug, we only have two plugs and it is on the most left of the bed, it is better if it is in the middle of both beds. Sixth, the air conditioner is too weak for a room with 3 people, it is hot even at night. Seventh, the music is too loud, i cannot even rest properly at night, you can prepare earplugs at least. Eighth, the gathering or public area is too hot because there is no fan, please prepare some ceiling fans so guests can dine properly. Ninth, should have a table for a big room at least. the floor is wide enough, but it is so dirty that we do not dare to sit on the floor to play games or cards, we also do not want to play games or cards at the gathering or public area because it is too hot and loud. Tenth, rubbish in the sea or hotel area, i saw a huge pile of rubbish such as bottled water, food container, plastic bag just floating in the sea in the resort. Here are some good things about the hotel, first, very nice scenery, the water is nice and clean in the morning. Secondly, the balcony area for each room is nice because we can look at the scenery while sitting on the chair and resting. Thirdly, the staff is very friendly and very responsible, they do their work fast, they carry our luggage, refill food fast, and are very nice. Fourthly, the overall atmosphere of the hotel is very comfortable. Fifth, the food is ok, breakfast is ok, it is not the best but it is edible, the dinner is the best, and the seafood is a very nice touch. Sixth, we can dry our wet cloth on the balcony too. Overall i give it a 2 out of 5 stars. The price of your hotel does not match the pros and cons of your hotel. I would not want to stay in the hotel another day if the problems still stay the same. Please do your best to improve better. This is my honest review as a Malaysian.

The overwater bungalow environment is exceptional! You can snorkel endlessly, and even if you're not an experienced snorkeler, there's a guide who takes guests out every afternoon at 4 PM. The staff (local guides) are fantastic! We even saw a huge sea turtle at night. There's never a dull moment on the island; you can go fishing, dive, play mahjong, and there are even local performances in the evenings! The 'jellyfish sea' is incredibly photogenic, every picture turns out amazing! One lovely lady even managed to catch a small fish 🐟

Very nice staff. Good location. Clean, Qiet. Peacfull. Ment to stay 2 day, but keep extending my stay. After all I stayed there week. Hostel offering transwers to the Tawau airport for 30 myr.

Three days, two nights, and every day brought a new kind of 'excitement.' Day one, the air conditioning didn't work, there were tons of mosquitoes, and the shower only had cold water. The only decent thing for dinner was the fried shrimp, which disappeared in seconds, and the few other dishes available were practically snatched away. It felt like a refugee experience. Day two, we got a different room. After swimming, I went back to shower, and there was no water, then cold water, then extremely hot water, constantly cycling. The water pressure was also incredibly low; I almost lost my mind trying to rinse the shampoo out of my hair. That night, it was very windy, and there was a lot of noise outside, as if something wasn't properly secured. On the third day, as we were checking out, our luggage was mistakenly taken by a staff member and given to other guests. It was only returned after the other guests realized the error. Our luggage was perfectly fine in the restaurant; how dare you just take it away? Do you have any basic management sense? Of course, the environment is nice, that's the only highlight. Given how expensive it was during Chinese New Year, you should provide a service level that matches the price. The buffet was cafeteria-standard, and we still had to fight for food. Are you not ashamed?

I think I might be the first Korean visitor :) I am from Malaysia but it was a beautiful experience in East Malaysia, which was my first visit. For safety, I recommend that you understand the territorial disputes and historical background of East Malaysia. You will need to communicate with the local resort through email and WhatsApp, so if you have difficulty speaking English, you can get information about boats and resorts with plenty of time.

For my trip to Semporna, I spent a long time searching online before finally choosing this place, and I'm so glad I did! Even though it's a guesthouse-style hotel in town, the experience exceeded my expectations. Location: It's right in the center of Semporna town, by the sea. Downstairs is the famous seafood market, making it super convenient to buy fresh seafood and bargain for prices. There are also many seafood restaurants nearby that can cook it for you, offering great value for money and a truly satisfying meal. It's only a 5-10 minute walk to the jetty, with two jetties nearby, making island hopping tours very convenient. Next to the hotel, there's also a Sayang specialty store where you can buy souvenirs, and it's also a pharmacy with daily disposable contact lenses. Watson's and convenience stores are also nearby. Room Facilities: I booked a sea-view king room. The room was large and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering an amazing sea view right from the bed! The bedding was very comfortable, and the linens were clean. From what I saw online, it's a hotel that opened in the last two years, so the facilities are still quite new. My relatives booked a family room, which was also excellent, with two beds more than enough for a family of three. Service: The owner is Chinese, and there's a 24-hour Chinese-speaking butler, so communication is seamless. The front desk staff were incredibly enthusiastic and even recommended great places to eat in town. The front desk attendant was also very friendly, helping us carry our luggage upstairs (even though there's no elevator, their service made up for it). There's also a vending machine in the lobby where you can buy frozen aloe vera gel, highly recommended for sunburn! Breakfast: Although simple, it includes coffee, fried noodles, eggs, and bread – perfectly adequate to fill you up before heading out for island activities. Summary: If you manage your expectations for a hotel in Semporna town (after all, you can't compare it to a 4 or 5-star hotel in a city center), this is definitely a hidden gem in town. It's clean, convenient, the owner is reliable, and it offers great value for money. I've already recommended it to my friends and family!

The surrounding area is pretty bad; the whole Semporna town is dirty and chaotic, with lots of stray dogs and dirty kids. This hotel is a bit far from the Seafest Jetty, and the hotels closer to the jetty seem to have a better environment. They offer complimentary snacks and drinks, and the service attitude is quite good. The rooms are spacious and have good soundproofing. However, there were only two old bath towels on the bed and no bath mat. The bath towels, duvet cover, and pillowcases all looked quite old and had old stains. Luckily, we brought disposable pillowcases. I'm not sure if it was because we showered after midnight, but the shower water was very cold. I didn't dare wash my hair and just took a quick rinse. The breakfast was very basic.

The location is super close to the ferry terminal. Downstairs, right across the street, there's a KFC, Starbucks, and 7-Eleven, which is really convenient. The front desk staff were very patient. The only drawback is that the room is a bit old-fashioned. However, the hotel's exterior looks upscale and grand.
