Local Trip after Pandemic - Semporna

#celebratewithtrip After the long pandemic, finally travelling is back! First choice for a local family trip, would be Semporna, Sabah! Of course, heard its beauty long time ago but haven’t got chance to pay a visit. We booked the transportation to hotel by ourselves, the main reason is to save cost, this way save us about RM400/person! For transportation, we found in FB, and the water chalet - Kapalai Resort we booked directly from the Resort as well. Back in May, they are offering one night stay but now at least 2 nights stay - included transportation from Tawau Airport to Semporna which we booked earlier on doesn’t. For island hopping, you can actually book from tourism centre at Semporna town, they are offering few packages and negotiate. Hotels in town are mostly 3 stars hotel, the reason could be most of the travellers came for island hopping, will not stay in the hotel for day time and there are plenty of water chalet available. Most convenient hotel would be those next to the pier. Foods wise, mostly are halal food restaurants even it’s Chinese restaurants. Seafood are cheap and the taste it above average. Kapalai Resort offered their own boat to their resort, which located next to tourism centre pier. It take about 30-40 minutes from town to Kapalai Resort. Along the way, just enjoy the clear sea water view. Once you reached the resort, believe me, this is the best view EVER! You are actually inside a transparent glass bottle, this is what I felt. They provide buffets for 4 meals a day including tea time! And main course are served with quality seafood. Large rooms with balcony and unlimited sea view, perfect! Security wise, there are armies around the resort, so I would say it is safe. Must in your travel buckets list!#spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #awesomepic #semporna #kapalairesort #sabah
