"We 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!"

"The room is clean, spacious, bright, and conveniently equipped. The service is excellent, enthusiastic and efficient. Basically, everything you ask for is met. Most importantly, the room rate is affordable. I am very satisfied with my stay! The environment is very good, exactly as advertised, with octagonal houses surrounded by green palm trees, very Southeast Asian! The weather was good every day with a gentle breeze in the morning and evening. The green plants in the manor are well-maintained, and I even saw several squirrels. The room is also decorated with special care, clean, tidy and innovative."

"A family trip for two families. It's a very new hotel. It's hygienic, the quilts are clean, and the store service is good. Before booking, I was a little worried because there were no reviews on Ctrip. I was still in Semporna today, and Dahonghua was the quietest and most comfortable hotel I stayed at in the past few days. If you get up early in the morning, you may encounter little monkeys in the woods behind the house🐒"

"All the team and the manager are very nice and kind. They support us to book boat tours and provide all information. Everything organized, picked up from the hotel, food and drinks. The breakfast is ok with Chinese food mainly. The rooms (small wooden chalets) are very well decorated and well equipped. Clean and comfortable! The bathroom is very convenient and clean. We really recommend this place if you stay in Semporna. The only issue, it is a little bit far but the manager can help you to find a way to reach the center."

"Good, good, good, very good! I always thought that Semporna only had island hopping, sea resorts and town homestays. Unexpectedly, I never expected that I would live in a forest resort villa in Semporna, which was a large environment in minutes! I lived in the real nature in a second, the stilt wooden house unique to Malaysia, each room is large, clean, tidy and comfortable, and the boss said that all the best local mahogany materials in Malaysia were used! Speaking of the boss lady, I have to praise her! The boss lady is Chinese, enthusiastic, meticulous and meticulous! When you arrange your accommodation, you will set up a butler group dedicated to serving you, which will not only solve any problems for you, but also enthusiastically help you with eating, drinking and having fun in town, and help you arrange sea and other entertainment projects in town. More importantly, when you go out for island hopping, she will distribute a towel cape customized exclusively for the resort to each guest, which is quick-drying and sun-proof, so that you will not come back wet and cause a cold, meticulous and caring! When we checked in that day, we really had nothing to do in the afternoon, so the lady boss arranged a unique mangrove firefly tour for us! This is the first time I have seen groups of fireflies since I was a child. They are so beautiful. I also saw the Malaysian national treasure proboscis monkey 🐒, and experienced the ATV jungle adventure, which showed us another different beauty of Semporna! My girlfriend's hand-painted painting was done for free in the mangroves. In Kuala Lumpur, the minimum starting price for a painting is 50 Malaysian ringgits. In this attraction, it is actually: free! Free! Free! Thank you very much to the lady boss for bringing us an unforgettable journey! Finally, I want to say from the bottom of my heart: Chinese people don't cheat Chinese people ☺️☺️ Baltic Holiday Villa, sincerely recommended! Facilities: very good, new and avant-garde Hygiene: clean, tidy and comfortable Environment: large natural beauty in minutes Service: All service staff are super good, Chinese communication is barrier-free, the lady boss is meticulous, caring and meticulous!"

"It exceeded my expectations. The villa has a sense of design and highlights the concept of Home away from home. The residents consciously abide by the rules and jointly maintain a good and clean living environment. The transportation is convenient. The airport pick-up and drop-off can be directly sent to the hotel entrance by bus. In addition to the landlord picking up and dropping off at the pier every morning and evening, it is also easy to take a Grab taxi to the pier and it is not expensive. The surrounding is quiet, and there are restaurants and large supermarkets not far away, which is convenient for shopping. In addition, the breakfast is delicious, the reception staff are very friendly, and there are several super cute kittens."

"I am a family of three, and I brought two little girls from my relatives. I booked a standard room and a triple room. The triple room is actually the kind with an extra bed. The price is more than 4,500 per night, which is actually a bit expensive, but there was no way to communicate when booking, so I had to book it this way. From email communication to airport pick-up to the final airport drop-off, it was actually very smooth, which shows that the tourism service of this route is very mature. If Chinese people want to travel to the island of Semporna, they can rest assured. It takes less than an hour by boat from Semporna Pier. After arriving, we are taken to the restaurant for lunch. There are not many varieties of three meals a day, and they are relatively simple. The service staff are very friendly. Outside the wall of the standard room we stayed in is the house of local residents. As long as you stand on the plank road from the pier to the hotel for a while, there will be local people rowing boats to sell seafood and coconuts to sell. Many Chinese tourists will buy seafood to the restaurant for processing. It is very interesting to bargain, which is also an experience. There are also local children playing on the beach, but some will ask tourists for money, and some are very simple. I bravely entered the village and walked around. It was really dirty and smelly, haha! There are also very famous water houses on the island, but they are not together with this resort. You have to walk a little bit, and there is a fee to enter. Let's talk about the sea next to the resort. It is really beautiful. Although the beach is very dirty and there are all kinds of garbage, the sea is really beautiful. You can see the clear bottom by the beach. There are starfish, corals, various small fish, and a veritable jelly sea. We did not sign up for a sea tour to other places. We asked and it was about 65 Malaysian ringgits per person. We stayed for 2 days. We snorkeled at the pier of the resort. The staff was very good. We said we wanted to see turtles, so we dragged a lifebuoy to take us to the place where we could see sea ghosts (actually the water house). To be honest, the quality of tourism practitioners is much better than that of our country. If you don't have high requirements, or are a beginner snorkeler, snorkeling at the pier is actually enough. It doesn't matter if you can't swim. Life jackets, lifebuoys, and responsible staff will satisfy your yearning for colorful underwater time."

"After shopping around, I chose to book this one. What surprised me too much was that in addition to being clean and convenient, it also allowed us to meet such a good landlord. We flew early on the day of check-in, so the arrival time was a few hours earlier than the check-in time. I contacted the landlord before to arrange the handover of the keys and inform the arrival time. Because the previous guests checked out early, the pregnant lady with a big belly personally took the staff to clean the house, just to let us check in and rest early! For the next few days, we booked with the boss. In addition to this homestay, their family has their own travel agency and hotel. It turned out that the Amway Holiday Hotel, which had not been booked before, was also theirs. It's fate to be able to stay in this Amway home this time! High cost performance! ! ! If you plan to travel to Semporna, don’t miss it...recommended"

"The room is big and comfortable. The environment is also very good. The perfect jelly sea. However, the food options for the three meals are relatively small. The brunch is not very delicious. The dinner has seafood and is very good."

"The family room is great. The water house is clean, well-equipped, and has a beautiful environment. There are two safe water play areas, one of which is a wild fish pond where tourists who are not good at swimming can watch closely. There are also recreational activities. If you bring your own snorkeling equipment, the hotel has a free boat to the coral reef. When you go to the island, you are required to pay a 10 Malaysian ringgit tourism tax. Fortunately, I downloaded the email containing the tax receipt when I booked the room online, so I avoided double payment."
