One of the best resorts I have stayed in. Rooms/bathroom are clean, the swimming pool is good, breakfast was great. They upgraded us from a garden view to sea view room. Since it was my daughters birthday they arranged a cake for her. Apart from the check in staff, the others are very friendly. There is a huge gym, play... more

I always stay in this hotel whenever I've been to Kuantan. This hotel located in the middle of the town, within walking distance to a few places such as Kuantan Parade, Mosque etc. This hotel have just a small room for their standard/superior room. Interior quite ok for its class. Suite also available for those who need spacious room. It's... more

As European tourists travelling Malaysia we stayed there after our tour and wanted to relax. We booked the Hyatt Regency Club Rooms at in our eyes favourable rate. The first night we enjoyed the complimentary Club sundowner in a cool relaxed athmosphere, with nice tid bits. The service personnell was very attentive. Breakfast in the Club Lounge was also o.k.,... more

We've stayed 2 nights at the holiday villa. We arrived around 9PM on Friday evening and were given one of the garden chalets. However, since it was dark, we couldn't read any of the roomnumber signs, so had to ask the staff near the pool, where the chalet was. The reception was not very helpful for that. The room was... more

Stayed for two weeks at this hotel. Our room and bathroom were clean, but possibly in need of refurbishment. We were probably staying off season as there seemed to be very few guests staying, although the business seminars appeared to be well attended. The pools were huge and clean, the staff attentive and helpful, particularly when my car broke down.... more

I do agree with the reviewer who said that the Summerset is in need of an update and I am happy to say that work has already begun. There is a new manager who has far reaching ideas and who is also ready to listen to what guests say they want from their stay. The Summerset is an unusual complex... more

It was our first time staying in the Legend Resort Cherating. It was a 3-nights stay over the long weekend with my parents and my own family. The resort is quite spacious and has a really marvellous set of pools - in which my toddler refused to to leave resulting us getting sun burned under the hot Cherating sun... First... more

Overall satisfactory with the service. I was on waistlist initially and i left my contact number with them. They returned my call at night informing me of rooms availability. This has given very good impression of the hotel. The room is clean and spacious. Except need to improve the air-cond. Feel as if fan only and totally not cooling especially... more

We stayed at the Hyatt in a Superior Club room for 8 nights in Feb. It was all rather disappointing and not what we expected having visited many other 5 star hotels on the South Coast and KL. The room was ok sizewise but did have a weird smell (probably the air-conditioning) and the furniture was well used and tired.... more

Sometimes when you travel with kids, you need to lower your standards. Not with Club Med. We have just arrived home after a 2 week stay at Club Med Cherating Beach, and we had read some travel reviews, and were a bit worried about what it would be like. It was such brilliant value, us, like others, wondered if it... more

Beautiful modern resort hotel with a lovely garden and pool. It's situated directly at a beautiful wide sandy beach. Spacious deluxe rooms with nice balcony. The hotel is very far (10 miles) from the centre of Kuantan. more

We pre-booked this resort since it was school holidays in Malaysia and the hotels were quite full. On arrival at check in we were upgraded to an executive room. This room (really two rooms) had a living area with couch, chair, work desk, fridge and flat screen television. The adjacent bedroom was well appointed as was the large bathroom. All... more

The Swiss Garden Kuantan is quite nice. The staff are quite friendly. The place is quite clean and the rooms are fine. It's a 4 star hotel. It's not a 5 star hotel but it's not a 3 star hotel either. For the price (RM235 per night booked on the internet) it's ok. That's the problem though. It's just ok.... more

This is the high rated hotel that are too complacent and doesn't deserve their ratings. The room was terribly lit and the air-condition in the room that we stayed cannot be controlled, made us freeze the entire night. We had a late check-in and there was only one person at the reception, and there was a queue!! Imagine having travel... more

Went to the Hyatt for a short week end and were quiet desappointed this time. The room ( supposedly recently refurbished ) was infested with mosquitoes ! and no mosquito net in the room...Also there was signs of moisture all over the room and especially in the bathroom, no aeration there at all so everything would just stay wet, even... more

We'd arrived late in Kuantan and after calling ahead to several "big name" hotels and found they were full, we finally found rooms at the Vistana, sight unseen. Our initial trepidation turned to pleasant surprise when we arrived at the smart entrance and were quickly attended to by a group of friendly porters. Check-in was friendly and easy and before... more
