The hotel is in a very noisy area. With dogs barking on and off during the night. It didn’t help that the windows were closed the noise still came through. Room was small but clean what we needed for the night. We were plagued by children begging in the envions. What would be useful in the information for this hotel was that a 100 MYR cash deposit was required to be paid before getting the room. We did ask to have a late check out but it was refused as the hotel was full. The staff did assist with getting our baggage to the hotel from a nearby office.

This is an old a little run down but for transfer divers it is great . My dive resort offered to pick me up at the airport the next morning for free , I opted to pay a taxi driver 50RM , about $15 USD . So worth it because the town is fun at night , many local restaurants, many gift shops , even a place to exchange money . Massage was about $25 USD , legitimate massage . The seafest hotel is at the ideal spot but that was sold out . This one was perfect , I even had a great view of the water . Keep in mind the other half of the rooms face the street , but a busy vibrant street .

The staff were lovely! Pool area was lovely at night - maybe screen off the construction site next door. Kind of ruins the vibe during the daytime. Room was basic but clean

"The location for snorkeling is excellent with 10 min boat rides to healthy coral. The water around the lodge is unfortunately now with some litter from Mabul village. Come for the snorkeling and scuba diving (which we did not do."
