The best part is the staff’s service and the prime location. Azhar and his team are fantastic, giving us personalized attention all the time. Azhar offers very interesting dives in Mabul Island and helps arrange dives in Sipadán. The rooms are very modest, so don’t expect luxury, but the impressive sea views of the Célebes and their wonderful sunsets make up for it.

Great spot. In the evenings turtles roam around the stilt houses; you can order lunch and dinner on site or buy fish from fishermen and have it cooked for you. 24/7 hot tea and water are available. The staff speaks limited English except for the owner, but they are very nice and helpful. The dive masters with me, Dory and Banshi, were unique. They only accept cash and PayPal, there is no internet, and even with a local SIM it’s weak. It’s better on the mainland of the island, but I assure you that in a place like this you don’t need internet.

The atmosphere is fantastic. The building is nice with spacious common areas and right on the sea, where you can spot several turtles, even large ones a few meters away. Unfortunately, there’s also a lot of floating plastic. The rooms are small and not great, and the cleaning needs improvement. The bathroom has some leaking issues. Food is adequate but could be better. You can reach the village via walkways where you’ll find markets to buy drinks and snacks (no alcohol, you have to go to a resort for that). There’s also a “restaurant” that serves good food and the lady makes excellent donuts. The place has great potential, and despite its flaws, I loved it. Fix some details (leaking pipes, loose faucet, cleaning, food) and it would be truly exceptional. Everything is wooden, so a bit of maintenance is needed.

The location is privileged. On the last day, even though the return was closed, they changed our plans and charged us double. The food is correct but very basic, though they offer the option to cook by paying a small fee for fish or seafood you buy from the boatmen who come every evening.

While researching the Semporna area, I found Mabul Island and this small gem. Many nearby places are pricey, but I didn’t mind a basic spot and it was within my budget, so I decided to try it. Don’t expect a luxury resort—this place is built on stilts and is very unique, which gives it character. The main walkway to the village can feel a bit precarious, but that’s part of the experience. Small shops are tucked along the walkway, locals are friendly, and kids run around. It felt like real island life, not a manufactured tourist spot. One thing that surprised me, not mentioned in many reviews, is that toilets across the island discharge directly into the sea. We were told it’s safe and locals are used to it. We saw other families swimming in the sea near the resort, and one week later we met a family who said they had no ill effects. We chose not to swim directly in front of the resort to avoid any risk. Everyone will decide for themselves, but potential visitors should know this before booking. Getting to the island wasn’t hard for us, contrary to some reviews.
