Opened in 2022, the Arcadia Beach Resort offers travelers a pleasant stay in Semporna, whether for business or leisure purposes. There is no shortage of things to see in the area, with the Pandanan Island, Timba Timba Island and Mataking Island all nearby. This hotel makes a great place to kick back and relax after a long day of sightseeing. When it comes to Semporna hotels, the Arcadia Beach Resort is highly regarded for its excellent facilities.

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.
I highly recommend the Jelly Seawater House Supreme Pool Water House! I had so much fun! The environment is so beautiful! The photos are so good! The room is clean and sanitary. There is a certain distance between the water houses, so we won't disturb each other. The three of us stayed in the water house and they added a bed. There was a light fragrance in the room, and the seafood in the lunch and dinner buffet was very fresh! The guy in the water house was very cute and enthusiastic! We were reluctant to leave [snickering]

On a sudden trip, God led us to Semporna; there are many local accommodation options, including those located on major snorkeling islands, in towns, and backpacker-style accommodation. We are very glad to have chosen this one. A hotel built on a small sand island.
Perhaps because the order on the platform contains a domestic mobile phone number (the number is inconsistent with the WeChat ID), we only used the local mobile phone card to contact the hotel after landing in Kota Kinabalu at dusk on the first day; we were the second We had an early flight. After receiving our contact, the hotel staff arranged the pick-up at 11 o'clock that night at 7 o'clock the next morning. The pick-up process was very smooth, from the airport → town pier → island ;
After arriving on the island, the staff member who received us was Ajie, who could speak Chinese. Even though we had not yet arrived at the check-in time, he welcomed us in time and arranged a room for us to rest. I was tired from traveling because I caught the cold on the plane. In addition, we were caught in the rain on a boat ride early in the morning, so we fell asleep as soon as we entered the room; we slept until lunch time. During our meal break, Ajie politely came over to ask about our travel plans in Semporna and the time we would stay on the island. , suggested that we go snorkeling at the nearby Mabul Island in the afternoon; the weather was beautiful, it was still raining heavily in the morning, but it cleared up in the afternoon, so we happily participated in the afternoon snorkeling activity and saw many turtles.
The diving instructor who led us snorkeling was named Sam. On Mabul Island, we bought Pippi shrimps as thick as arms sold by the Bajau children who were selling seafood on boats, three for 74RM;
After returning to the island to wash up and tidy up, it was already dinner time. The dinner was a buffet. The dinner that day included fish and crabs, as well as Tom Yum soup, plus the Pippi shrimps we bought. We happily enjoyed our dinner. That night, the hotel organized a walking tour around the island. Sam took us to look for blue tears (a mayfly creature that emits blue light at night) on the beach. He brought a flashlight to show us the crabs that were active on the beach at night. Since there were no Despite the light pollution, we saw an incredible sky full of stars. The island was very quiet at night with not much wind and waves. After Sam left, we spent the night beside the beach.
When the time came the next morning, we observed the position of the sunset the day before and speculated that the sunrise position was just in front of the balcony of our room. We got up at six o'clock the next morning and sat on the balcony to watch the sunrise. The tide was high in the morning. , the fish came out early to look for food. The hotel’s breakfast time was at seven o’clock. After breakfast, we couldn’t wait to change into our snorkeling equipment and went snorkeling; the hotel has its own snorkeling area with fish With two safe sharks, guests can also snorkel near the pier, beach, and pier. Morning is a good time for snorkeling. We saw many groups of fish, big and small, and big blue fish. Starfish, hermit crabs, coral reefs, the world in the sea is so full of vitality! After that, I started fishing, but fishing depends on the ebb and flow of the tide, and there are fewer fish during the ebb tide, but I had a lot of fun!
The staff on the island are all warm and polite. Special thanks to Ajie for helping us arrange activities, travel, late check-out and other matters in a clear and organized manner; at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we checked-out by boat with more than satisfied! We had an amazing time on the island. Everything is within reach, whether snorkeling, diving, fishing, beach walking, stargazing...
We spent a total of about 2,000 RMB per person on the entire journey from Tawau Airport to the island's pick-up and drop-off, as well as accommodation, meals, and activities after arriving on the island.
We recommend this resort to everyone especially to those who are first time traveling to Semporna.
Located in Larapan Island, 20-25 minutes by speedboat from Longmen Inn Pier, located in the middle of Valentine's Bay Line one-day tour route, adjacent to Warship Island, beautiful and quiet environment, is the best choice for family honeymoon, water house has 24-hour Chinese butler service, expensive Chinese chef every day includes delicious meals and afternoon tea, The hall has karaoke equipment with better sound quality than KTV, and we sell alcoholic beverages. The water house has a long plank road connected with the island. Guests can visit the Bayao people on the island through the plank road, and when the tide recedes, they can also go down to the beach to catch crabs, fish and shrimp

In fact, water houses should be the yearning and dream of many people. There are various water houses in many countries around the world, but the one that is closer to China and has great water and scenery is probably Semporna. In the early years, everyone would say to go to Sabah, but now it is Semporna. Before going, I chose many water houses and read a lot of guides. Finally, I chose Lelebang Resort. After arriving, I found that it was absolutely worth the money.
First of all, in terms of service, there will be Chinese butlers on the island, so you won’t worry about language barriers. The butlers are always in a position where you can find them at any time. The black people on the island are also very simple and will take care of you when they see you, making you feel very safe
The environment on the island is even more amazing. This island has only been open for 9 months, so all the facilities are very new. There is a double bed, a single bed, and a double sofa in the room. This is the standard equipment of each room. The two lounge chairs on the balcony are particularly comfortable and leisurely
Your room fee covers all your consumption since you arrive on the island, including three meals a day and afternoon tea. Of course, if you want to drink some cold beer or drinks, you have to pay for it yourself But it is very cheap and affordable.
The island will go snorkeling twice a day in the morning and afternoon. It doesn’t matter if you can’t swim. There will be two black guys on the boat to escort you.
In general, it may not be as large as a large mature resort, but it is very quiet. There are only six rooms at present. The private space is very good and worth exploring and checking in.

This is the only holiday home that we stayed and miss it even after we come home.
Very clean room and beddings. The room we booked has an additional door that opens to the back corridor, and there are hangers for drying clothes which comes very useful especially after a day trip island hopping.
There is a fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals. The tv at the hall makes the place very homey.
Location is only a few steps to the jetty, and eatery places, pharmacy and 7-11 all nearby.
Highly recommend Juno's Place.

I brought six children to stay here. I was a little nervous before I went there because the reviews online were mixed. I regretted it when I went there. Why didn't I book a few more nights? It's worth it to just relax in this paradise for a few days even if I didn't go to the beach. There are different feelings in the morning and evening. The scenery and the park are all very attentive. The indoor and outdoor are very detailed. The sockets in the house are all Chinese standards, no need to convert, and it's not like what the Internet says that Malaysian hotels don't have toothbrushes and slippers. It's really domestic standards. He has everything that is available in China. There are electric fans and air conditioners. The hygiene is very good. There are no mosquitoes. It must have taken a lot of effort. I want to focus on a few customer service staff. Three of them can communicate in Chinese. They are so nice, barrier-free, and they are very honest. There are also two local service staff. The children are not big, they are always smiling, and Lun also smiles when he sees them 😊 It's really warm. Recommend the shrimp, crab, squid, and chicken in the restaurant. Hahahaha, they are really super delicious, and the cooking skills are great. I really linger and recommend it! ! !
It's not in town yet, but it's close to the airport. It's also very convenient to get to town. There is a shuttle bus. Because we played casually, we didn't take the shuttle bus. We paid the fat sister driver of the manor to pick us up. She was available at any time. Even if there was no time, she would help contact other cars. It takes more than ten minutes to get to town without traffic jams. Even if there is a traffic jam, it will take more than twenty minutes at most. It's very convenient. The environment is much better than the town, the air is fresh, the room is very clean, the people in the manor are very good, and they will help solve any problems in time. The boss Dong Ge and the short-haired sister at the front desk are also very nice and kind. I will choose to stay in the manor next time.

WWill_ChenI traveled alone and stayed here for 4 nights from 8/4 to 8/8.
**Environment:**
The resort is so amazing that I wish I could keep it a secret rather than share it with you. Located in the middle of the sea, with no other structures around, you can easily enjoy the sunrise, sunset, and the starry sky every day. During the daytime, you can participate in various water sports, and if you're lucky, you might spot a sea turtle at night.
**Food:**
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included when you book the hotel, so there’s no need to worry about meals. The resort offers seafood and local cuisine daily. Please note: Visitors should bring their own snacks and drinks before boarding the resort, as it only provides water, coffee, and tea.
**Facilities & Service:**
All the staff here will treat you kindly, even if there might be a language barrier (English is spoken here!). If you're afraid of swimming, the staff will accompany you while you're in the sea (life jackets are provided in each room). Each room also has a balcony with a lounge chair where you can relax, grab a beer, and do nothing but enjoy the soothing sea breeze.
You may not want to stay in the middle of nowhere like I did to escape from modern civilization, but I truly recommend staying at the resort for at least 2 nights. You'll definitely feel completely recharged!
Finally, I want to say that the view is so astonishing that I can hardly describe it with my limited English. You must visit this place yourself.
GGuest UserThe hotel is about fifteen minutes' drive from the town's pier. There is a shuttle bus available every day. The owner is very good at providing service and is always responsive. The only drawback is that there are bugs in the room that crawl onto the bed, which is understandable because there are woods nearby.
GGuest UserA very pleasant stay. The beautiful manager personally picked us up from the pier. Although it was a scheduled boat, we were all staying in the same hotel, and the boat was also dedicated to the hotel. There were staff to help with the luggage on and off the boat, so we were not allowed to carry it ourselves.
After arriving at the hotel, we were seated and the dishes were served immediately. We had a table for our friends, and several people were fine. The staff were very warm and thoughtful, and I gave them a thumbs up. We had seafood long legs at check-in because we were a table for two people, and the seafood provided was not enough to eat, and we wanted some more, but the meals were calculated and there was no extra. I saw a few dishes on the stove and thought they were extra, so I asked if I could take them away. The staff said yes, but later I found out that the staff had eaten fried rice, probably because we took their dishes away, so I was sorry.
The room is relatively large, spacious, and clean. The hotel supplies are also very new. The hotel is indeed a new hotel. There is a balcony to see the sea. We were arranged with two rooms, one for sunset and one for sunrise, which is very considerate.
ZZhengqidaxiaaoluolaThe hotel is located relatively close to the city, but there are businesses around it, including a large supermarket. Food and drink are no problem. The hotel owner is very considerate and arranges pick-up from the pier. The mushroom house is very cute and the children like it very much. The night view is beautiful because of the lights. The hotel cats have also become children's toys, haha. It has a Super Mario theme, which is especially suitable for bringing children.
GGuest UserI recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sky Water Villa in Semporna. The villa is beautifully designed and impeccably clean. The king sized bed was comfortable, ensuring restful nights under the stars. One of the highlights of the stay was the all-inclusive buffet dining, breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. The afternoon tea with snacks was a lovely touch, providing a perfect mid day treat after our island hopping and snorkeling or hiking. Free wifi available at the restaurant and lobby area.
The staff were exceptional, friendly and accomodating.
A standout feature was the free use of snorkeling equipment and life jackets. Although the area around the villa does not feature coral reefs, the sand bank during low tide is a unique experience. It's a perfect spot for a leisurely walk and to observe the stunning starfish scattered across the shallow water. During snorkeling, we also spotted some sea turtles, some colourful fish and even swordfish. The reef is only near the jetty area which is very deep and has strong current.
We had a relaxing and wonderful time living over the ocean with a touch of adventure. Highly recommended!
GGuest UserThe hotel is a small and exquisite garden in the tropical jungle. There are free pick-ups from the town and the pier. If you want to go to the airport, it is 100 MYR per car. I had two breakfasts, one was American fried noodles and the other was Chinese soup noodles. The taste was pretty good. The cabin we stayed in was close to the road, so it was a bit noisy. The boss can communicate in Chinese. The overall experience was good👍
AAnonymous UserThe sea view from the hotel's viewing balcony is so beautiful, with sunrise at 5:50 in the morning and sunset at 5:50 in the evening. The room was very clean and I slept peacefully. The service attitude was very good and considerate. The location is really convenient. Downstairs is directly connected to the seafood market. A few steps away are the internet-famous Zhan Quanji and Fat Cat. The surrounding morning markets are very concentrated, saving a lot of time and energy. I can play everything I can! Recommended to friends
GGuest UserIt was my first time to experience a water house. The slide went directly into the sea. It was very interesting.
Service: The hotel's arrangements are in place and they can help you solve any problems you have. We booked a charter boat for snorkeling for two people. The instructor is also very professional and will dive to the bottom of the sea to help you catch the fish from the bottom of the sea.
Facilities: As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't wait to experience the slide. At first, I was worried that I would sink into the sea if I slid down. There are life jackets at the front desk, so there is no need to worry.
Free dinner: The dishes are very rich, the chicken is very tender, the crabs are also very fresh, there is crab roe in it, you can’t get enough of the shrimps
Rrazz1618Staying in Sempoorna town was a delightful experience, and this resort made our visit truly special. Sempoorna town is relatively small and apart from diving, hiking, island hopping there is not much things to do. If you're planning to spend more than 2-3 days in the area, I highly recommend considering this resort. Conveniently located just 10 minutes away from Sempoorna town by boat, the resort offers a tranquil escape. The staff and owner here are not only friendly but also incredibly cooperative, ensuring a warm welcome and a comfortable stay throughout. The rooms are clean and thoughtfully equipped, providing a luxurious experience. The surrounding beautiful sea is a highlight, adorned by starfish and other fishes. While the included food may not be the centerpiece of the experience, it is satisfactory, mainly featuring delicious Chinese cuisine. The staff and owner go the extra mile to share details about the resort, snorkeling gear, and any assistance you may need. During our stay, they arranged an unforgettable island-hopping tour, adding an extra layer of excitement to our visit.
