This time I found a great hotel in Semporna, and I must introduce it to you: 1. Excellent geographical location ◦ Island advantage: The hotel is located on the largest offshore island in Semporna. This is the most famous fishing island in Semporna, and there are many aborigines on the island. Standing in the hotel, you can see the world-class diving center Sibanda Island not far away. The location is unique. ◦ Convenient transportation: Although it is a 45-minute boat ride from the land, it also gives it a unique tranquility. At the same time, because of the rich diving resources around, this distance in transportation is not a problem at all for diving enthusiasts. 2. Rich surrounding experience ◦ Seafood feast: The aborigines row boats to the surrounding area every day to sell various seafood, and the price is super affordable. Lobsters, mantis shrimps, loquat shrimps and various rare fish can be bought here at a bargain price. The proprietress has superb cooking skills and a good relationship with the locals. She can also help bargain, so that you can enjoy seafood delicacies. ◦ Freedom to dive: There is a diving center next to the hotel, and you can go out diving freely every day. Whether you want to dive directly near the hotel (the sea water here is very clean and suitable for diving), or go to other islands for deep diving and fishing, you can set off almost at any time, and the convenience is unmatched. 3. High-quality hotel services ◦ Food enjoyment: On an island with limited resources and far from the shore, you can still enjoy clean and delicious Chinese food, which is rare and satisfies the Chinese stomach of Chinese tourists. ◦ Environmental protection concept: The hotel pays attention to environmental protection, which is very commendable and also fits the current green travel concept. It is highly recommended for Chinese friends to come and experience it.

The room was clean, the boss lady was friendly, the food was good and the fun was great. It's a place I want to go again after visiting it once. Thank you to the boss lady for providing a free New Year's Eve dinner and preparing wonderful performances, which left an unforgettable New Year's Eve at sea. Thank you

The hotel is blessed with a unique geographical location, a wide sea view, a clean environment, and a very high cost-performance ratio. We buy seafood every day and eat to our heart's content. The proprietress is Chinese, warm and thoughtful. On New Year's Eve, they prepared candies, melon seeds, snacks, grilled chicken wings, and sausages. There were many Chinese families, and we made dumplings together. It was a pleasant surprise that the New Year atmosphere was so strong in a foreign country. There were also dance parties and fireworks, which was very unforgettable!

Under the limited conditions of the island, the boss lady tried her best to provide rich living resources! Because the beautiful boss lady is Chinese, there is no pressure to communicate with her. She is very enthusiastic and careful, and she is also an environmental protection expert! The food is also great! You must stay in the folk customs of the island when you come to Semporna for tourism~

Overall it's very good. The food in the hotel is delicious. The person in charge will also help bargain for seafood. The processing fee is also very cheap. It's very good.

The first stop in Malaysia, I feel that I did not come to the wrong place. Two days of stay is enough. I rested and adjusted comfortably. The boss lady is very friendly. She was afraid that we would be cheated by buying seafood, hahaha, but I have to say that the seafood with salt and pepper is very delicious. The meals provided are very delicious, and you can avoid thunder. (Of course, everyone has different requirements) I met different people during the journey, which is fate, and there are different places. In the evening, everyone sang, drank, and danced with the locals. It was a very happy two-day trip. However, I have to say that the Bajau people are not very honest when selling seafood. It is really difficult to bargain during the peak tourist season. You must watch the life and death of the seafood. Don't ask me how I know. The service staff of the accommodation are very enthusiastic. You can stay for two more nights. The three of us stayed in a family room. I think the environment is OK. I look forward to coming again next time. The locals on the island are very enthusiastic, at least I feel very friendly. I saw the fish, the sunset, and caught a day of thunderstorms these days. Hahaha is also very exciting. I hope the boss lady will do better and better. Congratulations**.

The boss's service is warm and thoughtful. Chinese food, Indian curry, roasted chicken with potatoes, green vegetables, and fruits are all available. Every day, the Bajau people come to sell fresh seafood. The price is much cheaper than in China. The boss's processing cost is low, and the taste is super good. Watching the sunset is the best. The best place..., in the morning and afternoon when the water level recedes, you can go to the sea. The tide rises after 4 pm, and the water depth is about 2-3 meters. It is very comfortable to swim in the evening, the wind is calm, and it is more comfortable to swim after dinner, and you don't have to worry about ultraviolet radiation...

The owner of Amina Resort is an overseas Chinese who is very enthusiastic. He waited for us at the pier and prepared lunch for us in advance. In the afternoon, we will go directly from Semporna Pier to Amina Resort, which takes about 35 minutes by boat. There is a small beach near the hotel where you can play on the beach. The most comfortable thing is the hotel's restaurant. After bargaining with the Bayao people, we can eat seafood at sunset. The seafood processed by the hotel kitchen is delicious. Slow life is in good shape. If you want to go diving, you can make an appointment with the hotel’s diving instructor Awei. The hotel bed is huge. All the facilities that the room should have are available. The boss Bobo will also remind you in advance that you need to bring necessary daily necessities before going to the island. Considering that it was our first time to come to Semporna and we were still a little seasick, they even helped us prepare lunch and accompany us when we went on an island hopping trip. The service level was quite high. Overall, the price/performance ratio is quite high for living on Semporna Island.
