Hi Muddy
Semporna is probably one of the ickiest towns in Sabah. It's got a rough edge, there's really nothing to do or see, and it's not the greatest idea to go for a wander around town. Dragon Inn has unfriendly staff and an overpriced crappy restaurant. I can't recommend it.
Have you thought about contacting Uncle Chang?

Uncle Chang is great & they run a simple & basic resort at Mabul Island for RM50 per person include all meals. It's for everyone, not just youngster. Stay at Semporna Dragon Inn does not include meals, except for toast & coffee breakfast, & nothing to see or to do at Semporna. Electricity run off very frequent & you got to sleep without air-con while paying the air-con rate at dragon inn, & some guesthouse too. Dragon Inn restaurant, selling over-priced seafood & it's not very delicious at all. Nothing much to say about foods at Semporna, but a lot to compliment about foods at Uncle Chang budget resort.
