Hôtel bien situé et plein de charme. La jetée avec départ direct pour les excursions est un vrai plus, cela évite de passer par la ville, et il est possible de réserver sur place. La possibilité de se baigner est appréciable, mais la mer est malheureusement assez polluée. Des filets ont été installés pour protéger les nageurs, ce qui est une bonne initiative, mais cela reste peu engageant visuellement. Nous avons été déçus par la gestion des excursions. Nous avions demandé à mettre une option en raison d’une météo annoncée mauvaise, ce qui n’a pas été possible. Le lendemain matin, alors qu’il restait encore du temps avant les départs, il n’était plus possible de réserver. Finalement, il a fait très beau toute la journée… et sans excursion, il n’y a pas grand-chose à faire sur place (L'hôtel pourrait prendre une caution pour ce genre de demande. ). Il serait également intéressant de proposer une navette vers de plus jolies plages, car celles de Semporna sont inexistente (point indépendant de l’hôtel). Nous avons aussi eu plusieurs coupures d’électricité et une coupure d’eau durant le séjour. À noter également : présence d’une bouilloire dans la chambre, mais sans thé ni café, ni de tasse et pas de frigo. En revanche, le personnel est très gentil et le restaurant est vraiment bon, ce qui reste un point très positif. Dans l’ensemble, un hôtel agréable avec du potentiel, mais quelques points à améliorer pour une expérience optimale.
