Summary: 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

Summary: The room and view is really really lovely and we actually enjoyed our stay here. The food is really nice too. The room’s aren’t too private though, you can see and hear the villas around you (wasn’t a problem for us).
The staff really let you down though. They’re curt and rude and we felt like we were treated like outsiders for not being Malaysian the entire time (which is honestly surprising because we have been travelling around Malaysia for two months and have only ever encountered the loveliest people.
As an example - We asked for kayaks and were just told ‘no’ and had to ask several people why before someone told us that the water level might be too low, which it wasn’t because we went snorkelling in it instead (which was really lovely). Also, our whatsapp conversations were vague in the lead up to our stay and they didn’t tell us which of the two jettys we would be picked up from, which caused chaos on the day. Another example - we kept ringing the bell for the bar and the staff member would refuse to come out and serve us. I just feel that as full-price paying customers, we shouldn’t have been made to feel that way.
But i guess you get what you pay for. It’s the cheapest floating villa stay in the area and i would recommend it if you’re not looking for luxury and politeness. Bonus if you speak Malay :)

Summary: I would say to everyone look beyond the bad reviews,the staff are very helpfull friendly and will do their best to facilitatee your reequests.
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 resort where you can embrace the view and just soak in the scenery

Summary: Lato lato resort is an very unique place to stay. Not for high maintenance people as the room and amenities is basic but the view is spectacular and value for money.
All bungalow has sea view so you don’t need to worry about the view. The shower place doesn’t have hot tub but provide u bucket for shower. It is still manageable if u take shower before 6pm not too cold. Overall the staff is friendly but u need to stand for their easy-going attitude may not perfectly stick on ur scheduled time for pick up or boat departure time for island hopping so you really need to on top of this kind of organisation. Overall the staff is friendly and welcoming. The greatest thing to stay in Lato lato is you can own the quiet place for urself, it is not overcrowded resort so you can enjoy photo shooting and sun bath on the roof top of the deck with paranormal sea view. You can jump into water or scuba diving right at the boat deck so it makes u so easy to do water activities here without too much arrangement
