Damai Lagoon Resort

Fantastic surroundings, clean beautiful beach. Beautiful wievs. Spacious rooms. Elegant sober furnishing and decor all over the hotel. Fantastic infinity pool. Close to trekking trails and activities. Quiet and sober ambience. Fantastic breakfast buffet. Jungle around the corner, easy cheap access to pristine bounty beaches. Possibility for boat trips, SUP and others. I saw nothing about bicyckles and alike, though. Staf extremely welcoming helpful and friendly.

Risk for saltwater crocodiles in the sea. The hotel wasnt fully booked as they claimed as I wished to upgrade our room. We were the most quests among some local konference groups. Eerie abandonned feeling about the hotel. Restaurants and bars: I think Coconut bar was open one day. All day buffet in main restaurant was non existing, I understand this because they had zero quests. We left on friday and some 7-8 foreign quests and maybe 10 local tourists arrived, but yet, the place felt deserted. A la carte limited and mediochre which surprised me because the breakfast was top- dollar. The Horizon fine dining looked totally deserted. Scarce drinking water supply in the room. Yet one can buy water in the shop. The cake/ chocolate tea something was nice looking, I never entered because I saw no staf. Small faults here and there for a 5- star hotel to be. No alcohol, no smoking, many fees and punishments for taking food and beverages with you. I suggest muslimi only as a quideline. Hotel charges a fee for security by arrival, you get the money back by checkout. The beach aint accessible for people with handicap or difficulties to move.

Stunning location, impeccable service. Awesome!

Thinking hard, but no, nothing to dislike, except that the beachside bar could serve (hot) snacks such as fries right there instead of sourcing from the restaurant at the other side of the property. Our beer got warm waiting for the bites to arrive.
