Lato Lato Resort

It quite scary when you look at the reviews, but my partner decide to give it a go. So we stayed for 2 nights and it definitely worth it. First off, you can email them in order to get the number to Whatsapp them. I Whatsapp and after confirmed the date of stay, they rely the day before check in. Some information when you reach, the number of persons you have for the ferry transfer. 250 ringgits/pax for 2 ways transfer + island hopping for 2 days. If you booked island hopping in Semporna, it average 120 ringgits for line B and line C. Ferry transfer for both ways is 100 ringgits as I already went for 2 days of island hopping in Semporna. Accomodations is bare, food wise quite ok. Lunch/dinner have 1 chicken/crab/veg + banana. The food change every meal. Breakfast + tea break is included as well. Just know they don't sell food and bring toiletries like toilet paper. And your own snacks if you need. There a boat that sell ice cream in the morning. Can dive into the water straight from resort and water level is quite low ＜1 metre in high tide. Rent a kaya for 50 RM, can try to arrange diving or snorkeling in the resort as well though I didn't try that. No wifi here. So prepare your own roaming arrangements. The people are very friendly and nice. Saw a sea turtle in front of my room at night. Will want to come back again.

This resort caters domestic tourists, affordable if compared to others nearby. Location is good. Resort is simple and basic -and good foods served. The staff lacks training but they try to serve you. Communication via socmed is slow and challenging which needs attention. They way standard room is marketed is misleading. There are two types of standard rooms offered but both use the same promo picture which is the water bungalow type yet there is another type which is without window and terrace stye. The room they assigned me lacks maintenance. Even the toilet seat is broken. The shower is good but the toilet window is broken. I asked for repair but not attended. They need to clearly state the type of rooms they offer and not mislead you!

Nice Sunset View

I had a wonderful experience at Lato Lato Resort :) The room was wonderful, clean, and perfect to have a sunset view. Friendly staff. All is good :)
