Damai Beach Resort, Santubong, Sarawak.

Surrounded in lush and greens, with a nice ocean view. This resort is old, be prepared for it.. but i had a good night sleep. Breakfast is basic, nothing fancy but i ate well. Thanks for the hospitality extended by the hotel staff.

After 2 weeks volunteering at an animal sanctuary, we opted for a weekend of fun and relaxation. My friend selected the room with a view and patio for a few dollars more, which I wish I had done, even though my room was spacious, clean, and a bit dated. The lobby always had a breeze and offered a few places to sit and chat with a little more privacy. Walking around the resort offered some exercise esp with some of the hills. the pool is clean but a bit dated. The main restaurant serves all meal (no outside food allowed) with a good included breakfast , starting off with the included breakfast. I enjoyed great local dishes from the the restaurant , instead of the international backups of burgers. The indoor seating is comfortable and in local decor. I preferred the outdoor covered patio with a breeze and great view. I opted for a great, excellent massage and a facial. Besides walking around the resort, we chose an additional half day trek on teh local mountain. We walked to the local culture experience, a very cool hands-on look at the historical daily life.

This beach resort provided our group a weekend of fun during our volunteer service to a local wildlife sanctuary. The wide open lobby offered a nice breeze with several more intimate seating areas to socialize. My room was spacious, clean, a bit dated, and quiet. The rooms with balcony were great and closer to the spa. I loved walking around the resort with the pool. The restaurant is the source for all meals, starting off with the included breakfast. The resort does not allow outside food so luckily the restaurant offers great local dishes, which chose at each meal over standard international fare. Sometimes we dined in indoors and sometimes on the outdoor covered patio. We enjoyed activities at the resort, including a massage and a facial, both excellent quality. Walking around the resort along the water is a hike in itself and we chose an additional trek experience. The local culture experience is close by. Many of the features are wheelchair access, esp the restaurant and lobby, with some rooms also.

Overall experience was good. The family enjoyed the stay. But there's room for improvement.. We were given a room facing the back yard of the building even though we booked a room facing the pool. I did ask for change but was told all rooms were already occupied, even though we were amongst the earliest to check in and many others came later after us but given room facing the pool.

The resort itself needs maintenance although in a lovely spot. However, cannot recommend this hotel as they have still to refund my room deposit after nearly 4 months. Additionally, they now cannot even been bothered to respond to my emails. They have lied to the tour operator who asked for the refund after I had no success. Absolute shambles.

I stayed at Chalet for 3 nights. Room WiFi didn’t work, I had to go to lobby. Breakfast was ordinary except the Laksa, nicely served with coconut milk. The beach wasn’t taken care of, where broken glasses and plastic bottles on the beautiful beach and empty liquor bottles under the coconut tree.At the nearby building where the dormitory was located, smelly debris drained from the stream to the sea, that part became blackened sea. It is pity that the resort is under poor maintenance and management. Hopefully next visit will become better!

Thank you, Damai Beach resort for a lovely few days. Wish we had longer there, Yes, a few things need fixing up, but did not bother us. The room was lovely, very spacious ,clean, and the bed was very comfy. The food was good, plenty of choice. The staff was lovely and friendly, All ways had a smile for us. Yes, there is rules, but after reading them, I could understand why they have them , none of them I would do while on holiday so no worries there. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Check in check out process improved a lot, short waiting time. Happy about this. Just a little weird stint spot on one blanket and two pillow cases (😁) Breakfast buffet food variety can be improved.
