There are Sipadan Inn Hotels:

The Sipadan Inn hotel is composed of 3 different branch hotels (Sipadan Inn 1, Sipadan Inn 2 and Sipadan Inn 3) providing budget to medium rage bases in the heart of Semporna's seafront town center. The central location place guests within the easiest reach of the nearby jetty (for transfers to Mabul, Kapalai, and the Islands around the Tun Sakaran Marine Park), malls, restaurants, eateries, juice bars, seafood markets, mini-marts, convenience stores and dive operators. Clean A/C rooms, 24/7 service, and straightforward amenities make the Sipadan Inn Hotels a reliable stopover before or after their stay on the nearby islands or overwater resorts.

Sipadan Inn 1

The original branch and the simplest: 32 air-conditioned rooms built for one good night before an early speedboat. Twin or double beds, private hot shower, LCD television — enough for a short stay, nothing you pay for and never use.

Sipadan Inn 2

The flexible one, for families and dive groups. Some bedrooms look out over the water, many have balconies, and the three-room apartments sleep up to eight — which makes the morning logistics of a group far less painful.

Sipadan Inn 3

The comfortable one, at a higher price. Balconies face the waterfront promenade and the boat traffic, there are flat-screen TVs and wifi, and the town centre starts a few steps downstairs.

Semporna Town Center

Nearby activities extend well beyond boat transfers to the islands of Mabul, Kapalai, Mataking Island and Pom Pom Island. Semporna town has become the central hub to world-class diving at Sipadan, known for sea turtles, black tip reef sharks, huge schools of jackfish and barracudas, bumphead parrot fish and dramatic coral covered walls plunging to 600m deep. Divers and snorkelers alike can also explore the broader Semporna Islands, including Pulau Mabul's macro and muck diving dive sites and Pulau Kapalai's shallow sandy bottom full with rare marine species and macro critters. For non divers consider a river cruises to spot Borneo's distinctive proboscis monkeys or a day tour to Tawau Hill Park.
