点评:Excellent experience with Scuba Junkie at Mabul Beach Resort. First I want to say that we felt completely safe the entire time at the resort. Many countries have travel advisories to this part of Borneo but we did not experience anything that made us concerned at all.
Scuba Junkie was great to work with, we had booked a tour with their partner company River Junkie and I was able to work with both companies seamlessly to coordinate transfer from Tabin to Scuba Junkie office in Semporna and then transfer back to Tawau airport after our stay.
The resort itself was very nice. We opted for the AC room and were glad we did as it was quite warm and we were glad for some relief from the heat in the evening, The room was comfortable and had plenty of space. The dining area was nice with plenty of seating. Meals are served buffet style and there were always 2 dishes specifically for vegans/vegetarians. They do not serve seafood since the local seafood is not sustainably sourced. Free coffee/tea/water/juice. Soda and alcohol available for purchase.
The diving was great. We only have Open Water certification so we did not go to Sipidan but did dive Mabul and Kapalai. There were lots of turtles, eels, shrimp, crab, many interesting fish, rays, etc. I was getting over a cold when we first arrived and they were able to accommodate me to snorkel for one of my dives which was greatly appreciated. I had not dived in a couple years and was a bit nervous but the dive masters were great and I felt super comfortable and taken care of. The snorkeling I did was great also- I saw several turtles, eels, lots of fish and corals.
We stayed 4D/3N and I wish I had booked an extra night or 2 as this was the highlight of the trip for us. Overall excellent experience and plan to go back when we have our advanced!
翻译:在马布岛海滩度假村与 Scuba Junkie 合作的体验非常棒。首先,我想说我们在度假村的整个时间都非常安全。许多国家都发布了针对婆罗洲这一地区的旅游警告,但我们没有遇到任何让我们担心的事情。
与 Scuba Junkie 合作非常愉快,我们预订了他们的合作伙伴 River Junkie 的行程,我与两家公司无缝衔接,协调了从塔宾到仙本那 Scuba Junkie 办公室的交通,并在入住后返回斗湖机场。
度假村本身非常棒。我们选择了带空调的房间,很高兴我们这么做了,因为房间很温暖,晚上可以稍微缓解一下炎热。房间很舒适,空间也很大。用餐区很不错,有很多座位。餐点为自助餐形式,并且始终有两道专为纯素食者/素食者准备的菜肴。由于当地海鲜的来源不可持续,他们不提供海鲜。提供免费咖啡/茶/水/果汁。苏打水和酒精饮料可供购买。
潜水体验很棒。我们只有开放水域潜水证,所以没去西巴丹岛,但去了马布岛和卡帕莱岛潜水。那里有很多海龟、鳗鱼、虾、螃蟹,还有各种有趣的鱼、鳐鱼等等。刚到的时候我感冒了,他们安排我浮潜,非常感谢。我已经有好几年没潜水了,有点紧张,但潜水教练们很棒,我感觉非常舒适,受到了很好的照顾。我的浮潜体验也很棒——我看到了几只海龟、鳗鱼、很多鱼和珊瑚。
我们在这里住了四天三夜,真希望当时能多订一两晚,因为这是我们旅行中最精彩的部分。总的来说,体验非常棒,等我们拿到高级潜水证后打算再来!
