The Seafest Hotel and the Seafest Regency Hotel (that's the one with seaviews) are 3 stars hotel in Semporna serves as a practical base for travelers and holidaygoers either transiting to their resort on Mabul, Kapalai and nearby Mataking Island or Pom Pom Island or as a base to those who just want to go island hopping around the Tun Sakaran Marine Park. The hotel central, waterfront-side location keeps guests close to resort's offices and jetties, delicious seafood restaurants, and shops in the Seafest Square mall. For guests arriving in the late afternoon in Tawau airport, it's not possible to transfer on the same day to the islands due to the curfew starting at 5pm so the itinerary must include an overnight in Semporna town which is preferable to a night in Tawau as it helps reduce time and stress around boat transfers, departures and weather related issues.

The immediate neighborhood features Chinese run seafood eateries (if you don't need to have a seaview from your table, we recommend the Seaview café which servces delicious seafood at a reasonable price). In the mall, there are minimarts, a Starbucks, convenience stores, a pharmacy, and for the ATM, you will need to go to Semporna's MayBank which is a bit further away so we advise you to get your last minute cash at the Tawau airport ATM. You will need cash on the islands and for jetty fees. Breakfast timing matters porior to your boat transfer in the morning. In the evening, the waterfront promenade offers an easy stroll and amazing sunset views and photo opps across Semporna Bay.
