It was our first holiday together as we were spending our honeymoon and decided to take the 3 days diving course while we are staying at here. But we went to Sipadan.com Dive Centre for our diving course. All I can say is, I will definitely come back & stay at SWV. Not only do they offer great & welcoming... More

I went to Sipadan Water Village (SWV) last year, and came back again this year. Mainly for the awesome dive sites and excellent service the dive centre provided. This trip is equally if not better than last year as I saw the huge vortex of barracuda at Sipadan, flamboyant cuttlefish, huge frogfishes, family of crocodile fish, black tip shark, white... More

Stayed in June 2012. Overall an average resort with good dive center and house reef, but weak value for the money paid. The + : Scenic resort, all above-water accommodation, friendly staff. The - : Good food but lacks in quality at times, very aged room, uncomfortable bed, restaurant with a canteen-look.

We are a couple who spent 3 days there on a diving package. We paid around $2,700 for the whole stay, which, in our opinion is EXTREMELY expensive. We were therefore really expecting the world, however were greatly disappointed. Here is a rough summary of our stay. -Pick up in a decent air-conditioned van from the airport -Carry your own...

We were here on our 4th day of our honeymoon on Feb 2013. Actually, we accidentally book this resort after having a really bad experience in ScubaJeff & luckily SWV still have 2 chalet available on this date. The boat from SWV invited us from ScubaJeff as early as 7am (we requested that). Arrived SWV, we checked in first &... More

The Mabul Island is just as beautiful as in the photos, but for the price you are paying - about $200 pp per DAY (for the diving package), being $400 per room per DAY, you would expect the service and the quality of the food and accommodation provided by Sipadan Water Village to be a little better. We stayed for... More

Spent 5 days at SWV just before Xmas 2012 We overnighted in Tawau - I wouldn't bother as there is nothing to do, eat or see there. Pick up was efficient in a small basic but comfy bus which takes you to the pier at Semporna (a little over an hour). Bring some drinks as it does get a little... More

We stayed at Sipadan Water Village in December 2012. The diving was brilliantly organised and the staff were excellent from the dive shop to the dining facility to the housekeepers. The rooms were clean and more than adequate. The sea breeze and fan was enough to keep the temperature comfortable. Diving at Sipadan is exceptional but no guarantees of seeing... More

This resort was chosen as it came well recommended by other female divers who've stayed there, for its safety and 5 star dive centre. The location and pristine waters in which the resort is situated is the greatest highlight. The diver masters were wonderful and were well trained, knowing the house reefs and Sipadan island diving spots very well, as... More
