A beautiful and serene location that we really enjoyed, and were so fortunate to be the only guests on the island at the time. The service from the staff was very attentive and they were very friendly and pleasant. The food was lovely and fresh. The island is close to Sipadan and Mabu Islands for diving and snorkeling, and for island hopping to other islands. We definitely recommend staying at this island.

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!

Love the location, the service and EVERYTHING!! The hosts were nice and provide complete transportation for pick-up and returens to the airport. The workers are helpful and will try to communicate with you in English or Mandarin. In the resort, we did fishing, snorkeling and kayaking. We were lucky see marine life such as jelly fish, lion fish, sea turtles, coral reefs, and other underwater features around the island. We are definetly going to visit the resort again someday. Thank you dear hosts and workers for giving us a memorable trip.

This stay was perfect! The hotel is in an excellent location, with convenient transportation yet quiet and comfortable surroundings. The lobby is elegantly designed, the check-in process is efficient and professional, and the front desk staff has a friendly smile, which instantly makes people feel warm. The guest room is spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering great views and soft, comfortable bedding, allowing you to have a good night's sleep. Bathroom facilities are smart and modern, with a considerate design of dry and wet separation

The boss upgraded me to a sea view room facing the sea. You can snorkel on the beach at the door. There are schools of fish, starfish and small tropical fish. I caught 3 fish for the first time in my life. Nice. One island and one hotel. I think the scenery is very beautiful. Longtail Beach and Jelly Sea. I played banana boat and glass boat for free. At night, the staff took me to see crabs and look for blue eyes. The children liked it very much. The boss is Chinese and arranged it very well. From picking us up at the airport to sending us back to the airport, he also sent us to Semporna town for a walk. We stayed for two nights and free pick-up. The meals were also very good. Every meal was seafood, chicken, meat and vegetables. There was a good combination. There was also watermelon. The staff was also very enthusiastic. The room standard was OK. There was definitely a gap with star hotels, but the scenery and entertainment could make up for it. The vacation was very good. It is highly recommended!

One island and one hotel, great, beach, snorkeling, crab catching, shark watching, fishing, banana boat, speed boat, glass boat for free, you can play every day, and finally we did three routes, all of which are island hopping 2 -Three islands, js itinerary is very wonderful, I will come again next time. The proprietress is very humane. Even if I went late and didn't have lunch, she gave me a side dish to solve my lunch problem. The dogs are also very cute. We can see water birds, but we don’t have a chance to see turtles. I’ll try my best next time.

A quiet and comfortable island. The little black man on the island is kind. He will take us to find sand crabs and watch the stars at night. The lunch and breakfast are ordinary. There is limited seafood for dinner. The accommodation facilities are OK. The scenery is great. There are glass boats and sea swings... Give it 85 points👍🏻

The hotel service is very good. Mandy speaks very good Chinese. She will introduce the hotel facilities and hotel activities in detail when you check in. The lobby is spacious. I came in the off-season so there are few people. The meals are very abundant. Several locals will help prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner when you appear in the living room, and they are different all day long. The whole hotel is on a small island. It takes only about ten minutes to go around and walk around the tailing beach. You can watch the sunset and the moon at the hotel. You can stroll around the tailing beach and pick up shells at low tide. The water visibility near the hotel is OK. You can see starfish and small fish on the hotel balcony and the pier corridor. Snorkeling is better at noon. The hotel has a snorkeling instructor. Just call him. The hotel can also buy disposable mouthpieces. The visibility will be worse when the water rises in the afternoon, but small fish and starfish can also be seen. The equipment in the hotel room is still relatively old, which is incomparable to domestic hotels.

Our trip to Semporna and Kota Kinabalu was a total of 9 nights. Before departure, I saw very good reviews from the store and the pictures of the island were also very beautiful. I was most looking forward to this day. But when I got there, I was really shocked. It was not worth the price at all. The water house we stayed in the day before was expensive, but the room was very clean and the meals were delicious. But this hotel is also expensive, but the room is so old that it looks like it was renovated in the 80s, the bed sheets are particularly dirty and old, the family room is also very small, the suitcase cannot pass through when opened, and the toilet always stinks, it is super smelly. Lunch and dinner were just OK, breakfast was not good, and there was only one spring roll for afternoon tea. The tail beach on the island is full of garbage, and it is difficult to take beautiful photos. No equipment is provided for snorkeling, and there are no beautiful sights such as corals in the snorkeling area. The female boss had a very bad attitude. When we were leaving the store, she asked us to pack up at 11 o'clock and wait for the boat to come. We had to wait for more than an hour before we could get on the boat. Because we had a baby with us, we told the hostess that since we had to wait, we could wait in the lobby a little later so that the child could take a nap. The female boss said they would check out at 11 o'clock. They also claimed that they didn't need good reviews because they had a partnership with Ctrip. This day was indeed not a happy one. Of course, this store also has its advantages: the male boss is friendly and greets everyone. At night, the clerk would take a flashlight and accompany us to watch the little crabs, even though the starry sky was ordinary. There are large schools of fish underwater at the pier, which are very beautiful. Although I spent $100 to rent a fishing rod, I didn't catch any fish. To pick us up at the store, we needed to take a 25-minute car ride from Haifeng Wharf and then a 10-minute boat ride. Don't be afraid of being taken to the "park" when you are in the car, although we were a little worried at the time.
