Customer reviews: 

"Picked up quickly, just us in the boat and we were dropped at the Mabul Water Bungalows jetty (which was much better than the last time we stayed when we were dropped at the other SMART side). Cold towels and welcome drinks, lunch, smooth check-in process, received the room we requested and the whole stay was extremely good apart from one dive master. Check out drop off was just us again and they even changed the time to be a little later!" - Clee Natalie Lowther, UK ...

"The Mabul Water Bungalows is a beautiful place, very well done, spacious, clean and well maintained. The service was always warm and helpful. The dive masters and diving help was also outstanding, and Sipidan lived up to its billing as one of the diving wonders of the world. Although the food was very well done for a buffet, for me the buffet style does not provide as satisfying of a meal as when food is cooked to order." - James Hannan, USA ...

"The equipment we rented was of very good quality, the staff was very helpful and friendly and the facilities in an excellent condition. Most of all, out of our 4 days at the resort we got to dive at Sipadan during 2 days. We had a great time!" - Tatiana Matejskova, Rep. of Slovakia ...

"Their service was absolutely wonderful - from diving to dining to everyday 'good mornings' - we were in doubt whether to chose SMART (beach resort) or the Mabul Water Bungalows - and we are so not regretting our decision, it was truly excellent." - Gry Anna Nordensgaard, Runberg, Denmark ...

"Amazing diving, beautiful surroundings, fantastic accommodation." - Emily Thompson, United Kingdom ...

"Diving: Top Class; People: Lovely; Boat Crew / divemaster: really good; boats: good; Accommodation: excellent. We would definitely return." - Victoria Marriott, United Kingdom ...

"All the staff at Mabul Water Bungalows were fantastic. It started with Eva the manager and her hospitality, spread to everyone else from there." - Jon Hoffman, USA ...

"Everything was done for me, I didn't have to lift a finger, all my gear was put together at the beginning and taken apart at the end. I didn't have to lug any equipment around, all my fins, weight belt etc were on the boat at the beginning of each dive. I didn't even have to think about it." - Michelle Le Herissier, Channel Islands ...

"This was probably the best dive operator I have used - from the staff professionalism and friendliness to the organization and preparation of diving equipment ahead of dives." - Stuart Thomson, Korea ...

"Excellent dive master (Ronny) and boatmen. A professional and dedicate team." - Cindy Chan, Hong Kong ...

"Our trip to Mabul Water Bungalows Resort was excellent and the dive services also excellent." - Madlyn and Tom, USA ...

"Picked up quickly, just us in the boat and we were dropped at the Mabul Water Bungalows jetty (which was much better than the last time we stayed when we were dropped at the other SMART side). Cold towels and welcome drinks, lunch, smooth check in process, received the room we requested and the whole stay was extremely good." - Clee Nataliea Lowther, UK ...

"Catered to our every need. Excellent caring dive master, we were had with the same dive master which worked well. He knew you personally and checked when required. Resort manager and all staff were welcoming and friendly." - Mark Galaz, Australia ...

"On arrival at Mabul Water Bungalows, we were assigned a dive master who would act as our guide for the duration of the holiday. Our divemaster's name was Deniah and she was fantastic. Very friendly and attentive and really made an effort to show us everything, from the tiniest nudibranch to submarine sized groupers, she obviously had expansive knowledge of all the dive sites and knew exactly where to look.
I also did my PADI AOW whilst staying here and I have to say my instructor was brilliant. His name is Patrick Chong and is easily the best instructor I've had. He really helped me nail my buoyancy and taught me a variety of different fin kicks that I didn't even know existed! He was very attentive and totally put me at ease. The diving timetable was very organised and well structured and there was not a moment where I felt I wasn't being looked after. I knew exactly where and when I had to be and what dive site we were going to the day before, all my equipment would have been set-up for me and already on the boat waiting for me.
The rest of the staff were also really friendly and the service we received was impeccable. I rented a BCD, regulator (1st and 2nd stage), octopus and SPG and had no problems. The on-site facilities were of an excellent standard, especially the spa." - Clee Alexander Hislop, UK ...
