Damai is a great place to spend the weekend. Specially the Holiday Inn beach in Damai, It has a great and long beach, very clean, have some rocks to sit and enjoying the waves of the sea. They provide the cannopi to enjoy the sea, The sea is quite, soothing and very pleasant to spend the evening time on the sandy beach. the hotel is great having natural beauty, with great food and its design where sea beach can be accessed. This hotel is an ultimate destination for relaxing in a Malaysian sea beach location.

i have been there two years ago when during chinese new years.i went there with my family n my dad friend's family.We ate the food at the reataurant during new year eve then the following day,almost all of my family n my dad friend's family suffering from diarrhea.i never experience that kind of situation when i stayed at others hotel.

From the moment we arrived in the breathtakingly beutiful lobby which is open to the South China we were very impressed with the Hotel.
We were upgraded to a corner deluxe room which comes close to being the biggest hotel room we have ever had. The room itself was nicely furnished and amazing views of the surrounding jungle and the ocean.
We were also very pleasently suprised at the cost of the room service menu items. We had been a little apprehensive at being in a resort with no outside food outlets within walking distance but the food was suprisingly affordable.
On the down side service was a little patchy and slow and we didn't recieve the correct amount of Priority club reward points we should have.

I went to Kuching on 28th - 30th July 2006. I had arranged the airport transfer with the hotel thru travel agent - CPH. They charged us at RM106 for both ways from the airport to the hotel. We had a very pleasant driver and he also recommended us to see the Irrawady Dolphin at one of the river and also a nice seafood place- New Dolphin at Kampung Buntal.

My hotel reservation was handled by Ms Arianty Kamal . She was very pleasant and helpful. We had booked for a Deluxe Room with facing to the pool view. The room has a balcony and the interior is quite ok accept with old small 14" tv and a bed with rattan headboard and old sofa. And the phone in the room make so much of noise.

We had a foot massage and body massage in hotel recreational centre right after we checked in into our room.

The hotel is really quiet and there is a small beach and only 1 restaurant. During night time nothing much you can do. We when went to New Dolphin Seafood restaurant and had arranged with the hotel for the transfer at no charge. It took about 20 minutes trip down to malay kampung, Kampung Buntal where the New Dolphin's restaurant is located.

The restaurant served a very nice food especially the sizzling beef and Mongolian Seabass fish.

On the way back from the restaurant, we been droped off to the hotel next property , Damai Beach. And I saw the hotel is more lively and much more nicer. So I decided of moving out from Damai Lagoon and moving in to Damai Beach the next day.
