Maglami-lami Water House

All ok

Location and snorkelling at the waterhouse were amazing. Transfers were great. Amazing sunrises and sunsets. Great value for location and inclusions.

Bathrooms are really basic with cold water that runs into the ocean. Staff appear to be very young, a little inexperienced in customer service and satisfaction and unprofessional. There were ants in my room (and bed). Food is pretty basic and limited by facilities (but was edible).

Excellent service from start to finish. Every staff member I encountered was polite and helpful.

Nope everything was good

Beautiful location in the sea. You can snorkle and swim straight from the water house into shallow water. You can arrange the boat tours to the surrounding islands from the Waterhouse. Positive that it was owned by a local Malei family - a lot of the surrounding accommodations seemed owned by Chinese investors.

It lacked some love and interest from the family running it. The food was mediocre: breakfast very limited for western guests, dinner was ok but like in other reviews: much of the same every meal and not as good as maleisian food can be. The accommodation opposite to our room played loud karaoke. Overall for us the semporna area was disappointing after seeing such beautiful places in sabah: crowded with mass tourism, the beautiful islands spoiled with tourists only busy making pictures, little respect for the beautiful nature. Our advice: skip semporna and find a more quiet island, like Mantanani.
