Over the years since my 1st review, I have been back to stay here many times. My last visit last weekend was a big disappointment. I didn't feel at peace as I usually do at this resort. Firstly, the suite room I usually stay in had the carpet removed and now has unvarnished wooden floors. Though this makes it easier for house keeping to clean, they didn't do a good job. The floor was sandy and dusty. It got worse over the weekend with our comings and goings. That made bed time a sandy affair! Overall, the rooms and facilities need a much needed uplifting.

With the opening of Damai Central next to the hotel, the exclusiveness of the resort is no more. Damai Central is a complex with a noisy bar, so called "flea market", souvenier shop and a Chinese Restaurant. Oh and its also the place to be for big bikers to meet. So generally, it can get crowded over the weekends and holidays. The noise from the bar can be heard at the resort and I couldn't sleep till way after midnight. Damai Central and the hotel share the same owner. Naturally, the now exclusive beach is open to outsiders.

I miss the relative peace and quiet of what this resort used to be. The only time the beach is quiet is at 6 am in the morning and at noon time. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway, don't come to this hotel at the weekends, public holidays and school holidays.

The food isn't anything to shout about. Really gotten worse over the years, particularly so in the last 6 months. Try the Chinese restaurant at Damai Central.

We stayed for 4 nights in a beachfront chalet. The room was huge, modern, superb with the beach 5 metres away. The hotel facilities were great, fantastic pool and gym, good restaurants, really friendly staff.

The only downside is there was always tons of teenagers everywhere making lots of noise as they do. We werent too fussed but if you want beach tranquility its probably not the place for you. Or alternatively book a tree hill room which is a bit more secluded

What more could anyone want!The ambience of the entire area was just about perfect and the hospitality, friendliness and respect of the Sarawakan staff added just a little bit more icing on the cake. Cleanliness and safety of guests were important to all the staff.Views from the hilltop rooms magnificient.Breakfast inclusive in the tariff, not to mention 6 eating sites.
The resort provided a free shutlle bus to transport guests within the resort grounds( essential to the hilltop rooms) &nearby locations; and for Rm12/person trips into Kuching against Rm 50-60 for a taxi.
Overall a perfect location to soak up the Sarawakan hospitality

I have been going there for years, and the property has been deterating for years now. The last review I made was on one of it suites and althought it has a wonderful view of the beach, the room condition is not too good at the moment.

The flooring is full of sand. I was told it was clean hastily, but by looking at the very low occupany rate, I find it very ironic that this can be an excuse. The toilet has a very foul stetch, which I believe is the pipings, and they are a put offs!

The staffs were not too a happy bunch as well, and as I said, if this is the low season, wonder what will happen if it is the high season!

All said and done, this is one of the best properties to visit, period, but they really need to step up, or it will be a 2 star beach front property at a 4 star beach front area!
