Be aware that the room you book may not be the room you end up staying in. This is a hotel that appears to prioritize deflecting responsibility rather than genuinely caring for its guests.
When we arrived, the front desk informed us that our Agoda booking was actually for another hotel called Bay Gardens Beach, which is owned by the same company, rather than Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa. However, after carefully reviewing our reservation, it clearly showed that we had booked Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa. The hotel name, photos, and map pin on Agoda all indicated Resort & Spa, with no mention of any other property.
When we asked the front desk for assistance in resolving this issue, the repeated response was that it was “Agoda’s problem” and that we needed to contact Agoda ourselves. When I asked whether the hotel should update or clarify the information on their official listings to avoid misleading future guests, no clear answer was provided. This suggests that the issue is known but has not been actively addressed. It is difficult to believe that a hotel genuinely concerned about its guests would remain indifferent in such a situation.
We waited at the front desk for almost three hours before finally being given a room at this property. During this time, when I asked when the issue might be resolved, the only response we received was that they were “working on it,” without any specific timeline or explanation. Eventually, the solution offered was:
Asked us to pay for another room without canceling the previous room!
Throughout the entire process, the staff did not appear particularly proactive or willing to take ownership of the situation. Whether I asked about the expected resolution time or about responsibility for inaccurate official information, the overall attitude felt dismissive, with the responsibility consistently redirected back to Agoda.
If you are looking for a smooth and supportive experience upon arrival, it may be worth reconsidering, as the service here may not be reliable when issues arise—especially those related to bookings and official information.
That said, the location is good.
Additionally, this is the room we were assigned, labeled as a “garden view.”
