Semporna---I Love You!
 

.....I changed my mind to staying at Dragon Inn. I made the right decision to switch for 2 obvious reasons.

Firstly the RM66 nett rate at Dragon Inn was half of what Seafest was offering me.

Secondly, the tour operator to Mabul Island, Uncle Chang, has his office situated right in front of Dragon Inn.

Dragon Inn is an integrated tourism complex built over the shallow sea at Semporna Bay. It consists of 65 hotel rooms, several restaurants, conference rooms and a large netted area where many species of marine fish and creatures are kept for the viewing pleasures of its guests and the public as well.....

The Dragon Inn Floating Resort, located at Semporna, Sabah, secured the seventh place in the top ten floating hotels list, based on a compilation by a leading men's lifestyle website that attracts more that 7 million monthly readers, AskMen.com (http://www.askmen.com/).

The website describes the resort as such: "Built on the sea near Semporna, the Dragon Inn Floating Resort or Semporna Floating, as it is otherwise known - offers guests sumptuous rooms on stilts and a unique paradise island resort with palm-leaf roofing. Not only does the hotel offer every conceivable creature comfort, but the structural design of the hotel affords guests a sense of a traditional Bajau water village. An experience you won't find in cloned hotel chains on the mainland. As you'd expect, the hotel offers some of the best diving opportunities on this side of this world, with daily dive trips to the world-famous spots in Sipadan."
