We, total 12 persons, had travelled to this gate of paradise during April 14-18, 2012 for scuba diving trip purpose. It had been some dificultiies to travel from Bangkok to this resort, 2 filghts+1 hour speed boat from nearest pier Semporna to the Mabul island. But once we reached there, all tired gone away. All staffs is very nice and... More

First off, we loved our stay at the Sipadan Mabul Resort. I have read many reviews, and can agree with many of the positive but also less positive reviews. Still, the so-called 'negative' comments I make below are merely made for anyone to whom those things are important. Given the reason why we stayed at this resort in the first... More

I read review after review for this trip and am SO happy that we finally chose to stay at Sipadan Mabul Resort. Everything was fantastic. We were in one of the stand alone chalets which I would definitely recommend. It had everything you need - VERY comfy beds, toiletries, warm shower and good aircon. The food was also good. Dont...

We had two very nice bungalows with AC and fridge. The whole area is cleaned and raked constantly. All the staff is smiling and friendly.

It is an isolated island in the middle of no where (Mabul Island). As if you are mainly into diving only, you may consider to go for their Standard room which i found it is too basic for ME (since i am not diver but leisure). For those honeymooners or leisure traveller, you may consider to top up for more... More

Not cheap, but certainly worth it. Beautiful 'Robinsonlike' beach. Excellent snorkeling and scuba diving! We have seen a lot of species (sharks, rays,turtles,...) Very friendly staff. At night we played soccer and volleyball with them on the beach. Very tasty Meals! Super! More

We stayed at SMART at the beginning of October for 5 days/4 nights and stayed in a standalone chalet. We were able to dive Sipadan one of those days and the other around Mabul and Kapalai. The overall experience was average and the reason for this is that I think expectations should be managed about the property with regards to... More
