A Slice of Paradise : Danglai Resort Semporna

#indonesiatrip Danglai Resort is a hidden gem in the middle of the sea in Semporna. This premium resort exceeded my expectations with its private pool and balcony stairs leading directly to the sea. The sunset views were breathtaking, and the private net balcony was perfect for relaxation. The resort's romantic atmosphere made it ideal for our honeymoon, and it's also suitable for group trips. The food was exceptional, with a wide range of delicious options. What truly impressed me was the inclusive package, covering island hopping, airport transport, boat transfers, and even a lunchbox and tour guide when we are out. If you're seeking a Maldives-like experience without the hefty price tag, Danglai Resort is the perfect choice.

Malaysia | Semporna Mabul Island Water House

Malaysia | Semporna Mabul Island Water House

Malaysia🇲🇾 | Semporna Mabul Island Water House🌸 Mabul Island is our first stop after arriving in Semporna🛬. Before coming, because January is the rainy season in Semporna🌧️, we were worried that the rain would affect our travel. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to have clear skies when we arrived at the Mabul Island Water House for photos📷, otherwise the scenery of Mabul Island would be like the last picture. Below is our itinerary for the day, you can choose to arrive at the hotel front desk before 8:10 in the morning to arrange for the hotel shuttle bus🚌 to take you to Fat Mama Pier. Arrive at the store before 8:50 to sign in, the meeting point is next to Fat Mama Pier. Then you can ask for the front desk's phone number, so you can call📲 the front desk to arrange for a car to take you back to the hotel. But we walked to the meeting point that day (better control of time), about a 10-minute walk. Note: Our itinerary for the day is Mabul Island and Kapalai Day Tour 1. Pay attention to sun protection throughout the journey, the ultraviolet rays are super strong 2. About the restroom🚻, Mabul Island has a restroom where you can change clothes and go to the toilet 3. To take photos in Mabul mwb resort, guests need to pay 50 MYR💰 for the resort entrance ticket🎫; 4. You can wear regular clothes when you go out, bring a swimsuit👙, the first stop of the itinerary is to play on Mabul Island, Mabul Island has a restroom🚽 where you can change clothes, you can change clothes after playing on Mabul Island to go snorkeling 5. Our itinerary includes lunch🍱 and mineral water, so we didn't bring much food, but it is recommended to prepare some snacks🍫, because the meals included in the itinerary are not very good, and they are cold A little note⚠️: The coconuts sold by the Bajau children are 5 MYR each, don't buy them expensive❗️❗️ Finally, a little dressing suggestion: Try to wear some brightly colored clothes, don't wear black, the sunny☀️ Mabul Island is still quite colorful, so black will not stand out in the photos

Semporna - Malaysia

Semporna - Malaysia

Semporna + Tun Sakaran Marine Conservation Park 🏖🇲🇾 The journey from Semporna to this beautiful Islands is also quite time consuming. But really, I find it very worthwhile, and worthy of being the most beautiful beach that Malaysia owns 😊 With special terrain, the islands in the marine park are surrounded by a strip of white sand and coral, which makes the cape sea area, Sabah state, special. Maybe it's because it's adjacent to the Philippines that it inherits this beauty? And I had 3 extremely enjoyable and extremely satisfied days staying at Lato Lato Mun Resort among countless accommodation options in Semporna. Package for 3 days 2 nights Full Board includes 2 optional Snorkeling tours for RM 550 (About 3 million VND), a very cheap price when given such thorough service. Although there are still a few small places that I don't like, like the time there is electricity (6pm - 7am) and the food is not very special. During the days I was here, I went out to see the sunrise or sunset every day, except for one day when it rained in the morning but around 9am it was sunny again 😍 And just by putting my face in the water I could see starfish, many of them. here, followed by corals and a few schools of small fish, occasionally including small swordfish or herring The resort will cook seafood for you if you want to eat it. Meals in the package include chicken, crab, eggs, rice and 2 vegetable dishes with unlimited tea, coffee and orange juice. In the afternoon, from 4pm to 5pm, there is Tea Time with sugar donuts. And if I recommend any island the most in tour 1 (Bohey Dulang, Sibuan, Matabuan), it would be Bohey Dulang. You will have to climb about 1 hour of forest road to reach the top. But in return, the scenery is great. You can see the entire island with blue water like in the Maldives 😁 As for Matabuan Island, you will get Snorkel here. Sibuan Island has a long sandbank, clear water with only sand, you can swim or chill. This snorkel tour goes from 10am to 4pm before returning, so make sure you rest when you're tired. And what I see people won't do, but I want to learn more about, is to visit Omadal Island - a Local island with the highest population density of Sea Gysp (Bajaut Lau) people in Semporna. Go to see that life is still very lucky for you. Go to understand more about this special ethnic group...

Semporna, Malaysia

Semporna, Malaysia

Semporna, Malaysia🇲🇾🏝️ The scenery is really beautiful, the food is really bad, and the sickness really makes me miss home. Visa on arrival! 👌Very convenient (I went in December and only posted now hehe) I played more on the island, if you are on a budget, you can choose one place to play. If you have enough budget, you can start playing from Malaysia and then go to the island. It's really hot, just apply a lot of sunscreen. I didn't get much tanned when I came back. You must do it well, otherwise you will get sunburned haha. Girls, bring a few more bikinis, there are areas where you can go into the water and dive. People who are prone to bites must bring good insect repellent spray! The most important thing is to watch the weather. Because many boat trips to see monkeys🐒, crocodiles🐊, and monitor lizards are as much as possible when the weather is good. We saw it on the day it rained🌧️, and only saw a monkey, but the fireflies at night were really shocking! It made me feel it was worth it all at once. Then I basically go to the supermarket to buy food every day because it's hard to eat, buffet is also hard to eat. I suggest to exchange more cash💰because the price is 1:1.5, the price is similar to Shanghai and Guangzhou. I can't use UnionPay in many places this time!! The hotel supermarket is really me. I brought three cards💳, all UnionPay! Collapse. Finally, I found someone to change it. Most supermarkets can still swipe Alipay directly and deduct it in RMB💰, but I still suggest everyone to exchange more cash. If you can't spend it, you can exchange it back! Or bring other cards. I only stayed for 3 to 5 days because the pneumonia and asthma were too serious, so I hurried back to China. I guess I will never forget this travel experience in my life. It is still highly recommended to go with your boyfriend and family to play with a bunch of acquaintances. It must be great!!
