We booked for more than a month. Initially try to book directly but when called unanswered then we decided to use EXPEDIA. Then again try to call the resort just to reassure our booking got through. Again nobody picks up the call. WhatsApp messages were late response and information was not completed as needed. I would like to get information on facilities available which I cannot find when Google. When booked only 'Full Board' is available but not the 'Full Package'. I need to know about airport transfer, boat transfer, Island hopping, and any convenience store available should anything be needed last minute. No information was received. We have to call again and again for the resort to respond to WhatsApp messages. This situation worried me as I thought I got scammed. My entire month before vacation makes me restless. Less than a week before our vacation then only received WhatsApp messages from the resort asking us about airport transfer, boat transfer, and island hopping confirmation. 1 day before vacation in the evening the resort WhatsApp to inform on transportation payment which is cash only. Our flight the next day is early morning. Luckily we prepare some amount of cash already as we don't like to do everything at the very last minute. We also brought a first aid kit/dry foodstuff in case no convenience store. (We are right!!) Surprisingly from day arrival until day departure all went smoothly. Driver calls and WhatsApp where to pick us up at the airport.

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 :)

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

Its The Destination that saves the trip, and that is God's work of art. The pristine waters of Sabah is magnificient. The Lato Lato Resort is a far cry from even passable. Towels unchanged and room uncleaned for the entire stay. If I can at all help u people out there who is interested to make a trip here , never ever take the island hopping package from this hotel. Go to the website n pick a full fledged tour agent which is im abundance. If u take the so called resort package, you will be dissapointed with its service, delays and quality is nott there at all. The boat they used to take u is also not suitable. End up going with other groups as this one charges a high price at a very low quality n service.
