Pleasant stay if you are not fussy

Reviewed By scissors02

First oversea trip after 2 years, road trip from Spore to Genting. Good experience in the room, breakfast limited for vegetarian, cleanliness ok and crowded at that June period. Will need to wait for some time to take the lift, recommend to get a room higher than 25th floor, it will benefit you when you want take lift down (if you know what I mean). Also there is no towel in the room, have to call for it. There were also no plates and cutlery in the room. The washing machine create a foul smell on clothes after washed and dried. Overall was a pleasant stay if you are not fussy, please read all latest google map comments on this hotel to get the expectations you will get there.

Clean and spaceous

Reviewed By Maria1f

The hotel is great and the rooms are really nice and spaceous. The complimentary cup of lemongrass tea at the reception made us feel welcome. The dinner was great and the drinks afterwards atthe bar were good. The pool area has a sauna, too - unlucky for us, the whole pool was full of screaming dutch people well after operating hours so we had no chance to try it out.

Need improvement on housekeeping

Reviewed By bigbanggi

Had a surprise in the room when I first arrived. Found an underwear left by the previous guest. Not sure if housekeepers cleaned the room before getting the room ready for next guest. Everywhere was dusty and not clean. Stains here and there, even on bedsheet. Requested them to change the bedsheet, but still it’s yellowish and old. Need improvement on cleanliness. I would have expect better service and facilities for a five stars hotel. Thanks.

Leaving underwhelmed

Reviewed By adriennszlapak

We spent 3 nights here and were quite underwhelmed and disappointed. While it's understandable that Covid and the lockdowns took a toll on all hotels, the Swiss Garden Beach Resort just looks dirty and dishevelled. The private beach was not cleaned during our whole stay - empty drink bottles, masks and cigarette butts that greeted us on the first day were still there on the last. The hotel was fully booked and staff could obviously not keep up - people kept using the pools without rinsing after the beach and wearing sweatpants instead of proper swimming attire. Housekeeping never managed to clean our room properly (see pictures of what we found post cleaning). All in all, the prices they charge should warrant much better service.

Resorts World Awana

Breathtaking landscape, nature walks and golf Located at mid-hill, the Resorts World Awana is nestled in lush green environment with a view of the majestic mountain range. Activities include nature walks and golf at the unique 18-hole course. The hotel is just a two-minute drive from the Genting Highlands Premium Outlets.

Unforgivable Carpark

Reviewed By Toninkush

This was not my first time here. Was surprised that the resort charges its own guests for parking now. And it's not cheap, RM3 per hour, for an old dodgy carpark that is still not connected to the hotel itself but also had the signs pointing wrong directions to the lobby. Also, they locked doors to the staircases they shouldn't have and didn't block off parts they should, which was frustrating, unsafe and confusing at night. I ended up spending almost RM100 on parking alone in this trip for less than 48 hours. On top of all that, the autopay machine only accepts cash notes below RM50. #pengsanman As for the room, well, there were typical problems as well. The balcony plants still had cigars and cigarette butts in them and it smells like smoke. The air cond remote didn't work. The colour indication for the hot/cold water is correct for sink but incorrect for the shower. Sigh... the WiFi is not very consistent either. I was also disappointed that all the sports activities are no longer available and are demolished for construction. The photos on Agoda made me think they still exist. Felt like I was scammed. Thankfully, the pool is still heater although the jacuzzi portion is never on anymore :(

Could have been better

Reviewed By _subhaaa

The check-in to my room which was in Tower 4 was a long winding way and often confusing. Would have been better if there were staff present in each Tower to guide/ check-out process. The room & amenities were good. Unfortunately our view was blocked by construction and often gets noisy if we open the sliding door to the balcony. Would have been better if they offered us a card for parking cause we have to go to front desk every time we want to take the car in/out. There’s a convenience store outside the hotel and a few restaurants within the hotel. Overall, I believe it could have been better experience.

New hotel, fresh and clean

Reviewed By armadasaxon

New rooms, very good and clean experience. Ample car park available. Don't take the room facing the road, due to the long stretch of road, the motors and cars tend to press the pedal and revv. Breakfast was good, and area was very spacious and open. Swimming is clean and very nice for children. The bad thing about the quad room is the toilet transparency film where its partially see thru. If u stay in the quad room with your friends.. They can see u semi , so beware.

Rustically-charming place to stay in Cameron Highlands

Reviewed By baldwinc

First time staying here after visiting CH countless times. Saw reviews of dissatisfied guests, but the group of us had a great time in this 'English cottage'. Of course, it's not a modern-day hotel so do not expect modern amenities (the WiFi connection is rock solid, though). Check-in was a breeze and we were handed the room key with a wooden keychain. Nice touch :) Garden was beautifully kept and so is the place in general. No complaints, given this place is 84-years old in operation. We've to admit that the 12 of us were the noisiest bunch in the dining area when we had our dinner on 8th Jan. Food was so-so, but the staff tried their best to accommodate all our requests. Rooms were clean and breakfast in the next morning was just as good. Morning sun, fresh air, beautiful flowers in an English-looking setting is simply amazing! Give this place a try and experience it for yourself :)
