I had a great time at this resort! The diving experiences were incredible, with unique discoveries on each dive. However, the food options could definitely use improvement, especially for vegetarians. The staff was accommodating and the rooms were spacious, though some amenities felt underutilized. Overall, it's a solid spot for divers but expect some room for improvement in dining.

I had an incredible time at Borneo Divers Resort, where I experienced some of the best snorkelling and diving in my life, especially around Sipadan. The rooms were comfortable and clean, perfect for relaxation after a long day of exploring. However, the dining options were repetitive and could use improvement. Overall, the experience felt safe and enjoyable, particularly with the attentive staff during our snorkelling adventures.

The resort offers a solid diving experience, especially for those keen on Sipadan. The staff is excellent, and the dive guides really know their stuff. However, the dining options could use some improvement, and the noise from some guests disrupted our relaxation. Overall, while the diving is top-notch, a bit more focus on guest etiquette and food variety would elevate the experience.
