"Review for semporna
Summary: Horrible condition. Dirty, not organized and disgusting.
We walked in, the fridge, the rice cooker and rubbish bins were not clean, in fact there were food left in them and has mold all over, inside the fridge, on the dishes etc. Couldn’t unsee all the disgusting leftovers left in the fridge and kitchen.
The kitchen not to mention was disgusting. Coffee stain on the kitchen top, table, cabinet, it was sticky, brown and just disgusting.
Then the floor, bathroom...

The facility has changed since some of the bad reviews in that there is piwer during the day unless generator being topped up.
The snorkling around the facilty is good and even better when the turtles pass daily.
The food is good and varied over the 4 nights we stayed.
This is not a 5 star resort so dont look for that level of comfort,but it is a good...

"The airport transport was nearly one hour late... There instruction was to send me the license plate with no further comments. Another guy at the airport explained it to me and looked for my taxi. (the driver didn't get out of the car and helped me at all)
At the hotel the gave me a rm which I couldn't log the door, due to the fact I was the only guest, I felt safe. In the evening the following day I recognized that somebody stole my money. The owner didn't care at all and wanted me to pay the dinner and transport. I told him that all my money were stolen and that breakfast and dinner is included. He didn't respond.
The last night at this resort I felt very unsafe and unwelcomed. "
Lato Lato Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Don’t really wanna give a review in case too many people going , and get booked out . Hahaha. And if you’re looking for a 5 star service like Sheraton. Go to Maldives! Not here
Lato Lato is literally the best!!! THE BEST!
Please undertand that Lato Lato is owned by local people, simple English or Malay will get you thru at ease . We had fun ,karaoke with the employees. embrace the lifestyle living on the water . it’s a big family vibe.
Please only contact Lato Lato Resort via WhatsApp ONLY! (Due to language barrier)
1-2 day before your arrival to semporna , WhatsApp them to organise a boat to collect you from 7-Eleven Semporna with a price ( MYR 200/pp includes: Return boat rides island hopping 😍) it was such a good deal!!!
Snorkels are also available to rent at MYR 10/ day from the resort.
Note: Lato Lato does not serve beers, if you’re keen, please get some on the island to bring them with you.
Bonus: a family of turtles living just below the resort . Ok not telling anymore , as we’re booking our next trip to Lato Lato. Bye
