The setting at Jelly Water Villa is lovely. The facilities are excellent, and cleanliness is top-notch. The meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) were quite varied and plentiful. The Chinese-speaking butler was very responsive. My only suggestion would be for more flexible transfer boat services. Can't wait to stay again!

No matter what anyone else thinks, I truly believe the most worthwhile experience when visiting Semporna is definitely staying in an overwater bungalow. It was absolutely beautiful and incredibly peaceful. You can step right out of your room to snorkel, encountering countless fish and vibrant coral reefs. My child had an amazing time, and the overall experience here is undeniably superior to what you'd find in public snorkeling areas.

The sea water was crystal clear, and we thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling for two days straight. In the evenings, it was also great fun to watch people jumping into the water. Watching the moon rise and welcoming the sunrise, everything felt incredibly serene, offering complete relaxation. Unfortunately, perhaps due to heavy cloud cover, we missed out on seeing the starry night sky.

Jellyfish Water Villas was everything I dreamed of for a seaside escape! With the ocean literally right outside your door and breathtaking mountain views across the way, it's truly special. We could snorkel directly from our room, and the hammocks were perfect for lazy days, just watching the world go by. There were so many activities too: snorkeling, fishing, paddleboarding, and glass-bottom boat rides. The kids absolutely loved it! We're already planning our next trip back.

Best place, best environment, and best employers. They still provided an iron even though it wasn’t available initially. Very recommended

It was absolutely perfect, aside from a minor unpleasantness before reaching the island. However, we were incredibly happy once we checked in.
**Facilities:** Excellent! The room was spacious and even came equipped with snorkeling gear. Being able to step directly into the sea from our room was fantastic. I personally found it superior to Mabul Island.
**Cleanliness:** Unlike what some other reviews mentioned, we didn't encounter any water snakes or bugs at night.
**Environment:** Superb!
**Service:** Excellent! In the evenings, there was karaoke and sea fishing available, both were a lot of fun.
Overall, everything was excellent. I'd even say it was the best experience in Semporna, second only to scuba diving. Highly recommended! I've already suggested it to many colleagues and hope to have the chance to visit again someday!

Resort mainly Cater for chinese tourist including the Agent . Communication/ info mainly in mandarin Despite we communicate in English except resort staffs which are mainly local.
The facilities and food not on par the price tag .
The only positive point Of the resort in the view directly facing Bohey Dulang which many other resorts also providing similiar view with the fraction of the cost .
Overall ; not worth it with price tag charged to guest

The facilities and cleanliness were both satisfactory, as you'd expect from a 3-star hotel. The environment was good, and the natural surroundings were quite pleasant. Overall, the service was good.

My stay at Jelly Sea Resorts was incredible. We were amazed at the view from the resort, the clear water, and the Bohey Dulang view from afar.
We were told that we were the first Malay to stay at the resort (mostly Chinese tourists), it was such an achievement and honored 🥇😂.
The room was big enough and what we liked about the room was that it had a patio where we could relax, provided with a netting bed and a ladder to go down swimming or snorkeling right from our own room.
I would recommend Jelly Sea Resorts to anyone who wants to experience Semporna. It also provides 3 meals a day (breakfast-lunch-dinner) included in your booking and a boat transfer from the land to the resort and vice versa.
The only thing we would comment on for improvement is to provide toilet bidet sprayer.
