Damai Beach July 08 Two families with children in their teens and twenties. We had a wonderful time at Damai Beach and close by, as well as making many trips into Kuching. The friendly service and warm gentle welcome of the staff was terrific. The food was excellent, particularly at the Treez restaurant, which is on site. We wanted to... more

We stayed 5 nights in a seafront chalet, good size, beautiful location and views from the room. These rooms definitely need an upgrade, they look as if they had been built and furbished in the 70's. Efficient and friendly check in. Breakfast buffet is marvelous if you like meat, rice or noodles. But beware if you expect a decent choice... more

Stayed 4 nights in May 08 for a short family break with 2 preteen children on a Baruk Suite on the hillside wing. Resort has a tag line: 4 star resort with 5 star aspirations - which is about right as a description at a little push. Booked directly with the hotel - reservations efficient and friendly and good value... more

Despite the name, the Damai Beach Resort is no longer a Holiday Inn; it changed hands in April 2008. The facilities are actually pretty good; decent sized pool, main restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating, "Fishermans Catch" restaurant, and Trees restaurant up on the hill. Lovely beach, with soft white sand, and a dramatic mountainside rearing up behind the hotel, covered in... more

The Holiday Inn Damai Beach was a good place to relax and unwind for a couple of days. We had one of the standard rooms which was spacious, clean, modern with a good balcony, as they all did. The facilities were generally of a good standard. The beach there is small but the views of the coast and the mountain... more

Damai Beach is a great family resort. Good service, lovely location and an accommodating hotel. The pool and beach are surrounded by high forest-covered peaks. It's a bit of a distance out of central Kuching, about a half an hour from town by taxi / shuttle. When you go to town it's a very appealing place. A charming waterfront, Chinatown,... more

We stayed for 3 days 2 night in early February 2008. Even though we booked online for Garden Chalets under Reward nights, the hotel told us we are "upgraded" to a Chalet. Since we have a Gold and Platnium priority card holder, we asked for a "real" upgrade. We got our sea front room in the Chalet, plus free dessert... more

I am a frequent traveller with the wife and kids to beach resorts in South East Asia. I had heard good reviews of this place and went there. The resort was clean and well maintained - that was good. The staff were courteous and helpful. The resort itself was lacking in restaurants. There was little in the way of beach... more
