I chose this hotel because it was marked with five stars. Generally speaking, it is still a little different from the real five-star hotels in China, but it does not prevent this hotel from being the best hotel in Semporna.
Let me start with the good points:
1. Because the hotel is new, all the facilities are new, the infinity pool has a great view, and the children's playground is a plus for tourists traveling with children.
2. The hotel itself is comfortable and the rooms are clean. Don't expect too much about the environment around the hotel. You can look forward to the sea view and sunrise and sunset in the distance.
Disadvantages:
1. The breakfast is not rich enough
2. The bottom of the swimming pool is dirty, according to the children

Environment: The whole resort is very nicely decorated, and it is more cost-effective than the water house.
Hygiene: The staff will do a good job of insect repellent. Although the weather is hot, there is basically no need for mosquito repellent lamps in the room.
Service: The housekeeper will confirm our needs to go back and forth to the town every day, and he is very serious and responsible.
The puppies in the resort are also very cute. The housekeeper said that they were originally wild, but now that they live here, the staff will help take care of them. The puppies are very friendly. They will lead the way when we return to the room at night. The staff are also very caring ❤️

The room is big enough, the hygiene is good, the manager can speak Chinese, the hotel arranges a good island hopping tour, I booked three days but stayed for two days, wasted one day's money, the hotel does not refund. So you should check the hotel carefully before booking, otherwise it will be a waste. Overall, it is good,

Shuttle bus to the pier: The hotel will arrange a shuttle bus when leaving the hotel, and the service is very good. The room hardware facilities are very complete, very clean and comfortable, and the plugs are universal. I feel very safe and secure staying here. The island hopping itinerary in the hotel lobby is reasonably priced, and the three-day itinerary is very good. The instructor who arranged the OW diving certificate for the children is also very patient and responsible! It is a very warm hotel to stay in. I really want to give you the best reviews!

The water house is about 20 minutes away from the town. After arriving, there will be special water house staff to help carry luggage and check in. There is a store manager sister who can speak Chinese. She is super nice, so the baby who doesn't speak the language can rest assured. Because the water house has just opened not long ago, the entire facility is relatively new. There is no problem with the sanitary environment. There are 4 meals a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea. The taste of the food is more domestic, so you won't be uncomfortable. You can see the clear sea every day when you wake up. It's very quiet and comfortable, which makes people especially relaxed! It really exceeded expectations!

Outstanding
BBeng HockThe staff are always smiling, friendly, warm and courteous. They fulfilled our desire to do snorkeling twice in the morning and the night during our 2 day one-night stay. The host Joanne even showed us how the indigenous tribe that lives there and their way of living in stilt houses by shallow were amazing. Children as young as 7 years old have started to paddle a boat which they have handmade and repaired as well. The interior is fantastic with a bright yellow couch and a breezy balcony that is perfect for lazing around. The water is crystal clear and at night, it lights up into a lovely fairyland. The karaoke music is fun. They cooked live seafood and we loved it! The food is tasty and plentiful.
For $570, we stay in a beautiful water house, go snorkeling twice, free airport pick, free ferry to Larapan village and back to Tauwa Jetty, free meals from breakfast, lunch, dinner, and tea time is worth it. Plus the bonus of taking photos on a glass boat was a remarkable memory
PLEASE TAKE NOTE FERRY BOARDING AT KJETTY TO LARAPAN is 2pm , so please book a flight to make it for the transport to go to the ferry from airport that takes an hour.
WWill_ChenI traveled alone and stayed here for 4 nights from 8/4 to 8/8.
**Environment:**
The resort is so amazing that I wish I could keep it a secret rather than share it with you. Located in the middle of the sea, with no other structures around, you can easily enjoy the sunrise, sunset, and the starry sky every day. During the daytime, you can participate in various water sports, and if you're lucky, you might spot a sea turtle at night.
**Food:**
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included when you book the hotel, so there’s no need to worry about meals. The resort offers seafood and local cuisine daily. Please note: Visitors should bring their own snacks and drinks before boarding the resort, as it only provides water, coffee, and tea.
**Facilities & Service:**
All the staff here will treat you kindly, even if there might be a language barrier (English is spoken here!). If you're afraid of swimming, the staff will accompany you while you're in the sea (life jackets are provided in each room). Each room also has a balcony with a lounge chair where you can relax, grab a beer, and do nothing but enjoy the soothing sea breeze.
You may not want to stay in the middle of nowhere like I did to escape from modern civilization, but I truly recommend staying at the resort for at least 2 nights. You'll definitely feel completely recharged!
Finally, I want to say that the view is so astonishing that I can hardly describe it with my limited English. You must visit this place yourself.
GGuest UserThe hotel's primary focus on Chinese guests is evident in its services and amenities, which are predominantly in Chinese. This should be clearly stated in the hotel description on the booking websites. The villa itself is well-maintained, spacious, and equipped with everything you need. The beds and linens are of good quality, the toiletries are nice, and the bathroom is modern and clean. The air conditioner is quiet, but the external unit is quite noisy. The exterior and garden are lovely and clean.
The breakfast buffet was subpar, with cold food and coffee that required guests to microwave (completely in Chinese) it themselves, which was also a major inconvenience. Yet, the variety and quality of food was good and tasty. The staff seemed indifferent to the lack of coffee and food, and the lady who came to ”check” on us only brought coffee when we asked. Overall, our stay was satisfactory, but this place definitely needs to improve its hospitality and guest service. Given the above this place is too overpriced.
Aahlam88We loved our stay here at Santiri Island Resort. We celebrated our 10th year wedding anniversary and it lived up to our expectation. The resort was beautiful, it was small and intimate and not many rooms, which we enjoy because it limits the crowd on the island. It really felt like we had the island to ourselves. The picture doesn't do its justice. You need to go there to see it for yourself. The resort is unique as it has a sandbank when it's low tide, good for pictures taking or taking a stroll. The food was delicious and you could also get them to cook your seafood that you buy from the sea gypsies. They will try their best to entertain your request. You can snorkel, kayak and paddleboard around the area. The corals are very nice here. The staff here was very helpful and friendly, I would like to thank Dato' (owner), Mandy and Sam and other staff for your hospitality. We Will definitely come back here!
JJi ChengOverall I enjoyed our stay in sky water villa. When I was booking I read the reviews also worried that they are a bit old, so that the houses might not be well maintained. But during my stay I feel like the houses are used but still in okay manner. The best thing for this hotel is that I think they have the best house reef, and you can see turtles at night from your balcany. I went snorkling a few times during my stay I saw quite a few clown fish aka nemo and many fishes and even a sea eel one day. They also provide “galss” kayak which you can watch sunset on it. And the best thing they offer is that the tours you book with the villa starts around 10 am, you can just get ready and wait in your room, and when the boat is here the staff will get you from your room, and you’ll finish the tour around 3-4 pm which is the afternoon tea time at the villa. Instead of in the town area you need wake up early and meet and wait at the jetty around 8:15 am . And power supply is stable just may be ocassion blackout but it would turn back on very soon. However I do think they need to clean their air con as the one in our room seems very dusty, we had to clean the filter ourselves, they were very dusty. And during the afternoon coz our villa faces the sunset direction the air con feels a bit not strong enough. And the aircon outer unit is installed right at the room’s wall so it’s a little bit noisy, I’d suggest why not just use a more powerful window unit instead. The food is so so, but it’s difficult to cater everyone’s preference for food. The hotel is not cheap and maybe not very cost effective compare to hotels in other places, but to be fair i think if you want to go to semporna, this might be a reasonable option as overall semporna and malaysia is very expensive for tourists. And i higly recommend to stay at least 2-3 nights instead of 1 night to fully enjoy and relax yourself.
AAnonymous UserI don’t recommend choosing this hotel, the location is too remote. It is about 800 meters away from the lively area of the town and far away from convenience stores, laundries and restaurants, which is very inconvenient. Most dive shops are at the pier, about 1.2km away. It's not very far to walk there, but there are no sidewalks on the road and there are a lot of cars, so you have to walk in the mud next to the road, which makes it very dirty. There are also a lot of mosquitoes on the road.
The store has a car delivered to the pier every day, but the time and location are fixed. The dive shop I chose is not at the pier, so I didn't use it. I have seen several other hotels with similar prices before, some of which are more conveniently located and have in-room toilets.
The bathroom and toilet are shared and it is not convenient to go to the toilet at night. The toilet is quite dirty. The dirt on the toilet seat is so serious that it cannot be wiped off with paper towels. At the same time, there are many mosquitoes when going to the toilet. The water pressure in the shower is also very low, and there is no cold water if there are other people taking a shower nearby.
There is only one bed in the room and no other facilities. The hygiene situation is okay and the bed is relatively clean. There is a small balcony, but the balcony door is broken and cannot be opened. The only thing worth mentioning is that the bed is very comfortable, it seems to be a latex mattress.
In addition, my room was close to the outside and the window faced the road. People passing by the bus can see directly inside, and the noise is very loud. Every night I wear noise-canceling headphones to fall asleep.
GGuest UserFirst of all, I added the housekeeper on WeChat before I set off and asked about the preparations before checking in. The housekeeper was very enthusiastic and explained enthusiastically. This was really great. He helped us carry our luggage when we arrived at the hotel, and then recommended seafood to us, and showed us how to bargain for a cheaper price. It was really affordable, and the hotel could also process it, which only cost ten yuan. The housekeeper also explained the differences in island hopping and snorkeling depths one by one, which was great! The hotel overlooks the town’s pier, which is convenient for travel. If you are going to cross-island tours, it only takes ten minutes to walk to the pier. Before leaving, the little brother also sent us downstairs. The hotel also has an airport pick-up service, which is affordable. I will choose this hotel next time I go back. Another point is that the little brother speaks Chinese and there is no communication barrier. Hygiene: clean and tidy, Environment: The hotel entrance is the check-in point, the mosque, and there is a food festival downstairs on weekends, where you can try local food, Service: Not worse than a five-star hotel,
GGuest UserIt was my first time to experience a water house. The slide went directly into the sea. It was very interesting.
Service: The hotel's arrangements are in place and they can help you solve any problems you have. We booked a charter boat for snorkeling for two people. The instructor is also very professional and will dive to the bottom of the sea to help you catch the fish from the bottom of the sea.
Facilities: As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't wait to experience the slide. At first, I was worried that I would sink into the sea if I slid down. There are life jackets at the front desk, so there is no need to worry.
Free dinner: The dishes are very rich, the chicken is very tender, the crabs are also very fresh, there is crab roe in it, you can’t get enough of the shrimps
LLiudoufuSanitary: The room is very clean,
Service: The service attitude is good, you can send meals to the room, and you can pick up and drop off for the visitor center for free.
Facilities: complete facilities and large rooms.
Environment: Not far from the visitor center, about ten minutes by car, 2.6 kilometers walking, free pick -up and delivery is very intimate. It is very convenient to connect to WeChat. It is recommended to check in. The only disadvantage is that there is a mosque in the back, praying on time at 5:00 every day. This is Muslim custom, praying five times a day
AAzieraThe water pressure is really slow for sink & toilet.. for shower is acceptable.. I came down around 7am to checkout but both staff are sleeping at the receptionist area😅 I dont mind if u want to sleep but at least 7am u should wakeup already. The pic is a place near to this hotel u can walk 5-10mins..
