We really enjoyed the 3 days 2 nights we spent here. This is one of the cheapest options if you want to scuba dive in Sipadan or Mabul. There are a few things you need to be prepared for though, they didn't bother me or the group I was with, but they may bother some. We opted for the most... More

Next time i'm in Mabul. I will definitely stay at this awesome place again. Simple as that! More

Honestly, have no idea why the bad reviews for this place... I'm guessing they were sent long time ago, but honestly guys, this place is awesome! It's chilled, it's friendly, they guys that work there are so much fun, the food is amazing, the diving is great, all in all its a really nice place to stay and enjoy the... More

-This is a review of Billabong, and not the island of Mabul. There isn't much to do on Mabul except dive, walk, eat, drink, and maybe swim.

PROS: They had Sipadan permits. Nice balcony. CONS: UNSAFE DIVE EQUIPMENT First regs they gave my boyfriend the BCD inflator was broken.
