We spent 5 wonderful days at Firefly Resort in Semporna and truly loved every moment. Nestled within a palm tree plantation, the resort feels like a peaceful escape far from the city’s noise. The lush garden surrounding the property creates a jungle-like atmosphere, filled with flowers, birdsong, playful squirrels, and fireflies that light up the night sky. The rooms are spacious and clean, the restaurant serves absolutely delicious food, and the owner is incredibly kind and helpful with anything you need. With a free shuttle to town and laundry facilities available, everything is thoughtfully arranged. We highly recommend this hidden gem!

"Schöner Aufenthalt mit guter Anbindung zu den angebotenen Touren im Bereich der vorgelagerten Inseln"

9.0

Die Unterkunft liegt abseits vom wenig sehenswerten Semporna. Ein Shuttleverkehr ermöglicht jederzeit Mobilität und transportiert Gäste auch zum Hafen, wo interessante Touren unterschiedlicher Art zu den vorgelagerten Inseln starten. Unser Zimmer war recht komfortabel. Vor dem Eingang befindet bsich eine kleine Terrasse. Die gesamte Anlage ist mit Pflanzen und Wegen liebevoll angelegt. Der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und hat uns bei der Essensauswahl im Restaurant sowie bei der Tourauswahl gut beraten.

Es war alles in Ordnung!

Relaxed and nice place. Very kind staff, and perfect organisation with the shuttle to town and back. Excellent food and drinks. Clean and nice room with aircon and wifi.

The bed was nice, but a little bit hard, but absolutely ok. The pet-bird in a cage in the garden would love to get a bigger cage and some branches to jump around.

Ein eingesperrter Vogel im Käfig, der im Vorbeigehen die Gäste begrüßt, während seine Artgenossen um in herum in Freiheit leben. 1000e kleine Plastikfaschen mit Wasser für die Gäste, kein Wasserspender. Wenn man das Müllproblem in Semporna sieht, ist das kein gutes Vorbild.

Le personnel est très efficace, il répond à toutes vos questions. Le restaurant est succulent avec beaucoup de choix. Il y a des navettes gratuites pour aller en ville et aux excursions.

Si vous ne faites pas d'excursion, il n'y a pas grand-chose à faire à l'hôtel.

Stayed here for three days and two nights. Strategically located about 10 to 20 minutes of drive outside of Semporna town. The place is clean and quiet, it's right beside an oil palm plantation, and is surrounded by a beautiful, well-maintained garden. Rooms are not connected to the lobby/dining area - separated by a short walk under the foliage. An umbrella is provided at each room if it rains. Washing machines at the lobby. There are also hanging racks for your clothes right outside your own room. There's a free van service to and fro Semporna town at a fixed interval, you just have to inform/whatsapp the resort 30 minutes earlier. If you arrive by your own transportation, there's ample parking space. Serves good breakfast. While the kitchen is closed during lunch, it opens for dinner and supper from 5pm onwards. If you brought fresh seafood from town, the kitchen can cook it for you with a fee. I hadn't tried their dinner; I had their coconut: it's sweet. Friendly and attentive owner and staff ensuring that I have a comfortable and pleasant stay. Converse mainly in Mandarin Chinese... probably thinking that I was from mainland China. I was here to hike a hill but after I was told that the hiking trail was temporarily closed for renovation, and that I missed the resort's own firefly viewing on the day I checked in, the staff recommended a local mangrove cruise the following day which I greatly enjoyed.

The bed faces the sliding door and the sliding door opens to the garden path - there's little privacy unless you draw up the curtains. Also, I couldn't lock my sliding doors securely. Mosquitoes in the room, but this is easily rectified with my own mosquito repellant.
