Arcadia Beach Resort

Our stay at the Arcadia Hotel was truly idyllic and met our expectations. This resort is located on a beautiful, private island called Pandanan, opposite Timba Timba Island. Its location is wonderful. The hotel's facilities and decor are very beautiful, luxurious and white. It has a very large infinity pool where you can enjoy the view of Timba Timba Island. We've read some negative comments about the buffet, but for us, it was truly incredible for its variety and quality. Even more so considering the hotel is on a remote island. The kitchen staff, and especially the cook, is a talented and very pleasant gentleman. Additionally, the stay includes a day trip to an island, snorkeling, and a boat ride to watch the sunset. The only negative point I consider is that the island's shores are littered with bottles and other plastic products, which is truly shocking and sad. I think whether the trash comes from another island or not, they should definitely take this into account and have the staff clean up the beach. Thank you very much!

The room is OK, with all facilities, the service is very good, there is Chinese service, the hotel environment is very beautiful, the sea water nearby is also very good for snorkeling, there are many fish, the hotel provides free three meals + afternoon tea snacks are very good, the two-night package also comes with a free Timba Timba and Mataking island hopping tour, in short, very satisfied.

Booked here for the last night. The scenery is very nice. It has a different smell on cloudy and sunny days. There is a swimming pool by the sea. You can snorkel and provide masks and snorkels for free. There are many fish. It is the only one on the island. It is very quiet. The room is spacious, but the smell is a bit strong. The water is yellow. Overall, it is good. The service of the staff is satisfactory. There is not much communication. It feels like you live on this island by yourself. You can eat by yourself when it’s time to eat. Maybe this is a vacation? The only very bad thing is that I contacted the hotel by phone and emailed many times before checking in, but I didn’t receive any response. Because I have to take a boat to the island, there is a pier address, but even though I asked the locals, I couldn’t find this address. I tried to contact the resort but didn’t get any response, which led to a long search for the pier on the day of check-in. No one will take the initiative to contact you on the day of check-in.

The view from the room is great. The view on the island is also beautiful. There are free snorkeling activities. The hotel service is very considerate. My baby is allergic to ultraviolet rays and bought us medicine. It's great👍

Nothing to complain about, everything is great, one island, one hotel, great value for money. It's only a few minutes away from Mataking Island by boat, but the price is almost half. There is no extra charge on the island, and the staff are also very nice. I am also satisfied with the food.

This hotel is very new and not well-known in Semporna, but it is really a niche place with super treasures. There is only one hotel on the island. It is very quiet and suitable for a family with children, because here you can not only take your children snorkeling, but if you are lucky, you can also see turtles hatching. There is an infinity pool and swings on the island. There is also a very empty beach on the island, which is great. In addition, the island also organizes trips to Mataking and Timba Timba Island, so you won't be bored on the island. My sisters also upgraded the sea fishing and sunset projects. The hotel is great and very clean. You can see corals and groups of small fish snorkeling around. I will definitely take my family there again next time, stay in a sea view room, and lie on the bed to watch the sea view.
