We went in Early May and stayed in the Executive accomodation, I had originally requested this accomdation and it wsnt until 3 days before departure to Sipadan that the acomodation was confirmed, my advice is dont bother paying the extra, you do get a Jacuzzi, but we only used it once to wash our clothes....:) There is no AC in...

1. no tv 2. no cart or bicycle.. if you stayed beyond the viewing tower, by the time you finish diving, you'll probably have to crawl back to your room. 3. no air-cond Need improvements on:- 1. dive centre there are staff who just sit there, smoking and gawking sneering at guests.. just ignore then because there are awesome staffs...

A very lovely place to stay. The price is rather expensive but it is a place that you wish to stay longer. Van pick up from Tawau airport and boat from sempoerna to Mabul all transports are well organized and comfortable for tourist. Once you reach the SWV welcome by some friedly staffs there, lunch before checking into the room.... More

We spent 3 days 2 nights at SWV to celebrate our honeymoon. When the first time we reached there, we were served with fresh seafood. Our bad honeymoon started when the time to get our room key, the receptionist claimed all room which opposite the sea has been fully booked. The only room left are those who opposite the island....

Although my ratings for individual criteria range from "poor" to "very good" I still must give Sipadan Water Village a very good rating for the complete range of services they provide (airport and jetty transfers, complete scuba packages), their spectacular location and access to one-of-a-kind diving in, perhaps, the world. These reasons are possibly behind why some areas are allowed... More

We spent four nights at SWV to celebrate our marriage. Since we had been here two years before (and absolutely loved the diving and loved the resort at Kapalai) we thought we'd come again and try this place since it had been recommended by some friends. The weather was amazing, the room was nice and the resort is in a... More

SIPADAN RESORT: The resort is nice, clean beautifully located over the water. Staff is friendly enough, food is acceptable with enough choices...lots of seafood for the seafood lovers but primarily targeting their Asian clientele (rice for breakfast, seaweed, etc.) which makes sense given the location and accessibility. DIVING: While we were there the weather was not favourable for the resort... More

We arrived at the village after the 1+hrs on the bus from Tawau airport and then the 30 min boat trip to be pleasantly surprised with the village. All the staff were very welcoming and the rooms were very comfortable with wonderful outlooks over the water. We were a family of 5 adults, 3 divers and 2 non divers, however,... More
