4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013

Was staying here for two nights. Breakfast was good, the spread had western and local mix. Good enough for my simple requirements. Location was a bit out of the way but the restaurants and shops just outside the entrance had very decent and affordable meals. The residents of the service apartments mostly eat there. The beach was clean and mostly... More

The rooms was average. They have kids playground swimming pool. I will never forget riding a bicycle with my kids and my husband. It was so fun. No nasi dagang menu for breakfast. We booked two rooms with 2 breakfasts for each room. I have no problem to pay for my kids breakfast but the price far too expensive! Not... More

The resort is the best place in the area.. there is not much more around. After re-branding from Awana Kiajal to Resorts World Kijal, some necessary updates have been done and are still ongoing. With one of the many golf courses beside, that is a kind of local country club...for the residents. A lot of guests are business travellers on... More

The first impression I had on the property was good: The hotel boasts a stately lobby and grand appearance, especially when viewed from outside. The room I got, however, fell short of the hotel's 5-star status. It had the distinctive 'damp' smell that you normally get in an old, poorly-maintained hotel room. Perhaps they should steam clean the carpet more... More

This hotel is very worn out and badly in need of an overhaul. The rooms are dated the and lacking in facilities that are standard in any modern hotel. The wifi is possibly the most expensive in Malaysia and the food is sub standard. Chicken burger we had in the restaurant was inedible and the buffet breakfast is 3 times... More

When I wanted to make hotel bookings for a trip to Kerteh, a friend of mine suggested Resort World Awana Kijal. He said that is one of the best you could find in that area. And so we booked a place there. It was very last minute and we booked it from agoda and costs us about RM200 per night,... More

This is such a terrible hotel... The bed was full of ants as was the room, the a/c hardly pushed air and the customer service... OMG slow, rude & unhelpful. The "free" wifi is not free either... The bed, apart from having little ants running around in it, was hard and uncomfortable. It looks like the cleaning staff took a... More
