We stay in room #1 of Scuba Junkie in Mabul island for 4 nights. The resort is definitely value for your money. The room is clean. Size is good enough. As I saw, there are around 25 rooms and each one has their own balcony. The water pressure is low and is salty. If I am not wrong, it should... More

All emails with Scuba Junction were answered promptly (book the resort through them). Mike and Ali were excellent handling my questions. We arranged transportation from the airport through them and it was fine (see Scuba Junkies review). To avoid boat transfer fees we dove our first day and last day. We booked far ahead to get the Sipadan passes -... More

I began the first night staying at the Scuba Junkie Lodge in Semporna and was really disappointed. I could care less about the size of room or comfort of furniture - but I don't like residing in filth. The room was so filthy I could not take off my shoes. There were no sheets on the bed, only a small... More

We stayed for 5 nights on Mabul and 1 night in Semporna. Our daughter (12 yrs) took her Open Water course at Mabul and we did our advanced course. The instructors were extremely competent in a very relaxed way, but safety was still highly prioritized. When we came to the office we were recommended to do a refresher course before... More

The resort also sits by one of the few Mabul Island beaches not yet built on. Dive masters were very proffesional knew there stuff and also knew alot about the dive sights... More

We stayed one night in a fan room, one in an A/C room. Good: The staff is friendly, the cabins were clean and as somebody else said,... More
