I can't say enough about this place. It is not fancy, but has lots of charm and intimacy. The rooms are basic, but CLEAN and comfortable. Everyone who works there couldn't be nicer, always smiling and kind. They give you everything you need for comfort including their amazing Sabah coffee. The meals were plentiful and good, lots of choices and... More

We booked Borneo Divers Mabul resort via Asia Diving Vacation. Our liaison person was Serena. She was fantastic! We selected our resort mainly based on price but also on recommendation from a fellow diver. We read several reviews on Trip Advisor in June and July 2012. I have to say that I was a little concerned as there was a... More

Mabul was a wonderful little island and Borneo Divers was a good choice. They cover absolutely everything divers could need, with constant snacks and refreshments and the grounds of the resort are beautiful - beware mosquitoes, though! I went as a non-diver and thoroughly enjoyed walking around the local fishing village, I accompanied the divers on the boat for snorkelling... More

Borneo Divers was an excellent choice to dive Sipadan. The diving at Sipadan was excellent and made even better by the great Dive Master we had. If you stay at Borneo Divers, make sure you request Lianah as she will ensure you see the most hiding and incredible creatures under water. Don't be taken aback by the so called muck... More

We booked a 5 day package from Australia and were impressed from beginning to end. We were in constant contact with an agent in Malaysia throughout the booking process up until we left Australia. We were collected from the airport at Tawau and taken to our boat in Semporna which takes about 90 minutes. The boat transfer takes about 45... More

The only reason to stay here is if you want to dive the best dive spot in the world ie Sipadan and more specifically baracuda point. The local reefs are also good and with some carefull exploring you will see amazingly interesting critters such as flamboyant cuttlefish, painted frog fish, sea horses, colourfull mandarin fish and many others. My favourite... More

We were incredibly lucky to visit Sipidan - an amazing array of sea-life, stunningly beautiful, protected zone. The boatmen were highly skilled an important aspect of safety when diving. The Dive Masters were good but then they were friends of my 2 sons who both spent extensive periods out there learning to be diving instructors. We stayed at Borneo Divers... More

Will split my review into 2 areas - hotel and diving. Hotel - was being painted when we arrived, however the furniture in the rooms is old and tired. Room was clean and spacious, grounds are nicely landscaped. All meals are in the form of a buffet. The food choice was good and well cooked. However, the initial food offering... More
