Stayed here for one night with family. Had mixed feelings about the place. Overall, the place is a bit run down and could do with a refurbishment. Reception staff were good but staff in the pool area were unhelpful and lazy. Was here during the Borneo Food Festival so it was very crowded and noisy in the pool area. The... More

Having the family trip & stayed at chalet just facing the beach...is relaxing & breath taking. Located walking distance to Cultural Village where must visit place. You can discover the cultural of Sarawak, as well to enjoy sea breeze & mountain view. Overall is OK, but perhaps food to be improved. Next time will experience the hilltop!

We were so disappointed with our stay here. Fortunately it was only for 2 nights. The place needs a complete refurb. The room was very dirty especially the bathroom. Whilst having breakfast a cockroach skuttled across the table we were sitting at!! It is a shame as it could be fab and the reception staff, especially Christina, are absolutely lovely;... More

From trip advisor we had read mixed reviews so wasn't sure what to expect. We got a minibus from grand Margherita at 9am - 20 rm return. Takes 45 mins to get to the beach, the scenery en route is gorgeous. We did a day trip and it was definitely more than enough. We went to the last resort along... More

We went mainly to enjoy the mount santubong view and the beach. Apart from the views, everything else was just ok. The room was spacious, though well-used. Stayed at hilltop deluxe which had a balcony with view. We could enjoy the fresh air and also hear the birds busily flying around amongst the trees.. It really was relaxing. Walk around... More

We and a lovely long weekend at the Damai beach resort, a wonderful chillout break from all the hassles of day to day life. As with everyone we have met previously in Borneo the staff were very welcoming and hospitably. We had a beach front cabin which was exceptionally spacious and very comfortable, it was lovely to go to sleep... More

We stayed here for two nights as part of a package deal and it was all very quiet with only the beach level accommodation seemingly in use. The welcome was warm and friendly and our room spacious and comfortable with all the normal amenities provided. While the weather was not particularly conducive to swimming, the pool area was pleasant although... More

We were very dissapointed in our trip to Malaysia overall. It will not be a place we will return or recommend. If you can go to Thailand or the Philippines then I would change your plans. But-IF you will be going to Damai Beach Resort then just know that it has all the potential of being a very NICE resort... More

Stayed here with an Exodus group in Feb 2013. Excellent all round. The accommodation and the facilities are typical 4 star and the food was excellent but a bit pricey. The top pool is worth making your way up to, the views are outstanding, and when we were there it was very quiet, unlike the lower pool. Astounding breakfast selection.... More

Great views from the cliff top pool and the tree top accomodation, staff service was with a smile, breakfast menu was changed everyday. Room did have a musty smell initially but beds were comfortable and room was spacious, clean bathroom. We went during the week so it was rather quiet. THE place to go if all you are looking for...
