Beautiful overwater resort on Kapalai, a sand spit that is submerged under water most of the day. No mosquitoes a definite plus. No air conditioning, but the constant breeze and overhead fan made the stay very comfortable although very hot under the sun (90+ degrees ). Accommodations much better on Kapalai where we stayed the entire week, but wish we had stayed on Sipadan at least one night for the night dive (heard others raved about it). Sipadan will be closed after Dec. 2004. Saw lots of giant turtles, some white tips, crocodile fish, frog fish, cuttle fish, too many to name. We would definitely return if we have the chance, but may want to stay longer as the trip there (land, air, sea) is long. Would like to see more of Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) as well if we ever have the time. |
