Been there last year. True, accomodation is not the best -- but then hey,
you're in the water the whole day anyhow...
Staff was friendly & being 10 steps away from the drop-off is definitely a
good thing to have.
But the major advantage of the resort is that it is actually a group of
resorts. If you're there for 2 weeks, you should definitely talk to the
operator to get you for a few days to Kapalai (I'd suggest towards the
end). The cottages there are wonderful & the diving is IMO far better than
Sipadan itself (it's pretty good muck diving vs the "try and find some
pelagics" of Sipadan). But this is subjective, I know...
I've also done a day in Mahbul (which can easily be reached out of
Kapalai). Don't know whether I would spend more than 2 or 3 dives there
(and IMO you MUST go with the chief DM of Kapalai to that place, he's
truly amazing in finding these weird critters...).
Enjoy,

I agree with all above......... Kapalai is abit more than five star in my
opinion.

I dived with two different dive masters Rodel and Dondon. both found frog
fish smaller than I could see with out
a magnifying glass, so I would recomend any of the divemasters on Kapalai
