Indulging Spa Escape

During my stay, I treated myself to a good spa session that was a true highlight of the trip. The range of rejuvenating treatments offered was really good, and I left feeling completely revitalized.

Dining Delight

The dining experience at Resorts World Kijal was simply good! I enjoyed meals at both the beachside bistro and Hainan express, where the food was fresh and incredibly tasty. The variety of vegetarian options was a great surprise, making dining a pleasure for everyone in my family. Each meal felt like a treat, and I'll definitely miss their delicious offerings.

Kid-Friendly Fun

This resort is a paradise for families! My kids had a blast with the various activities available. The swimming pool was perfectly suited for children, and the beach provided ample playtime without being overcrowded. They also enjoyed ping pong and other games designed just for them. It was great to see them happily engaged and entertained throughout our stay.

Room with a View

I was fortunate to stay in a sea view room, which was absolutely stunning! The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. The mini refrigerator and coffee-making facilities added a nice touch, giving us the comfort of home. Waking up to the sound of the ocean was the cherry on top of an already fantastic experience!

My experience at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the location is decent considering it’s close to Kerteh's oil and gas hub, the service I received was unsatisfactory, especially during my check-in. The room was adequate, but some aspects of the amenities, like the lack of drinking water in the room, were disappointing. Overall, it felt like the management needed to focus more on enhancing guest comfort and amenities.
