Hotels in Kemaman

Everything was fine. It's just no bellboy ready to assist us without begs. No welcome drinks. The hotel staff were friendly. From the front desk, housekeeping and bar by the beach (I forgot the name). Unfortunately, there were 2 bad experiences we’ve encountered. The BBQ dinner at the bar was served warm and the food got cold instantly. The spread menu was limited and the quality was almost the same as a BBQ party that you throw at home. The highlight was the scenery. The music they played should set the mood for the customers. But too bad they played songs that most of the customers cannot relate to. During my breakfast at the Kampung Kitchen? (I forgot the name also), I was the first who got there and unfortunately, the chef at the egg station wasn’t available due to the need to perform solat. Look, I get it. But at least put a replacement. I was there for 20 minutes and the chef was still a no-show. The establishment has a huge potential because the activities provided will make the guests just stay there without going out so much. They gave RM100 f&b credit which for me was an A plus. Am I gonna coming back? Yes of course. I just hoping that they will refurbish the rooms and fix wherever the flaws to be an excellent resort.

Thanks for the check in date change to the next day without charges involved, thanks for the attention being given from the Trip.com PIC, response is so fast and resolved my problem on time. Will always support you guys. Keep up the good job.

Simple, inexpensive, clean and efficient. Small downside: no window but for one night it's fine.

I was here with a group of friends and we had to separate into 2 hotels. 1 is hotel seri geliga ( supposed to be the newer hotel) and Kemaman resort which is the older one in the area up north of cherating town. The hotel is small by malaysian standard. Rooms are small too that we had a hard time moving around. I had to push my single bed in order to open the room door wider to walk out. It is supposed to be a newer hotel but it looks like a hotel ( for indecent act) it is so simple to the point it doesnt look like a hotel. The hotel is so quiet with almost no guests, there is only 1 receptionist. supposed to have a cafe at the lobby but it is not opened all the time. They have a ”snack bar” but it seem useless. There is a ”mini market” used by the local which you can get something. My room have ants and lizards. Toilet is clean but do take note that it is a malay community which they do not use toilet paper and alcohol is strictly prohibited in this town. It is a little far from the eateries which are mainly close to Kemaman resort. its about 10-15mins walk to the beach. If you want to have some turtle watching and releasing of turtles activities, choose kemaman resort instead. Watching turtles lay eggs is 50RM. releasing a turtle is 30RM. all in all, i wouldnt stay here again.

The room is a bit old and ruined, however the lcation is good. The room just near a main road and opposite of school so it's a bit noisy at time. Could get a better room with the price, however not so much option in kemaman

Stayed for one night after our trip to Pulau Redang; took the cheapest room without windows and was pleasantly surprised how large and spacious the room was, although sp****ly furnished. No kettle was provided but there was a hot and cold water dispenser outside the room. Bathroom was the ‘wet’ type but the rain shower was simply awesome! Location was convenient - with the popular Hai Peng Kopitiam ( sister branch) and seafood restaurants practically next door. The river is just across the road . Parking is not provided but there are ample public parking spaces around ( just buy the parking coupons from the nearby shops). Overall, a good place for a short stay.

This hotel is better than boutique hotel in Chukai. Price is moderate. The room is clean and comfortable. Good stay for business traveller and couple as well

Firstly, I have to say, The Kasturi is probably my favourite place in Pahang. I first came here in 2018 - and it made such an impression that I couldn't wait to come back. Came back as soon as PKP was lifted (review here somewhere) and a tad disappointed. Husband booked a night's stay for our 18th wedding anniversary and I have to admit the service has improved by leaps and bounds. Check in was warm and professional - villa is clean and hubby had made arrangements for flowers and some refreshments in the room which was so appreciated by yours truly. Had same villa as previous stay - toilet is still wonky. Hand bidet in indoor shower compartment is still non functional and the fish keropok was left untouched this time (learnt my lesson from last time - pls get new supplier - I am sure there are many more keropok makers who can make better keropok sira) This time however, husband ordered food to be sent to the room - FYI, room service is limited to the asian food selection (not advisable to preorder western dishes as these will end up cold by the time it gets sent to the room) Loved the caprese salad and the fried rice. The seafood fried in batter was above average. The white rice and chicken was too sweet for our liking. Breakfast was served 'unlimited ala carte style' The variety was ok - choice of nasi lemak, western and chinese congee. Nasi lemak - much much better than the last time I was there - but had an issue with the sambal sotong, which I informed the staff. Saw that they offered 'DANISH' as part of breakfast - but we only received toast and baguettes - so I'm not sure if I was confused about the danish being pastries? Barista also needs to learn to make proper latte art. However, the F&B staff - Deedi was extremely friendly and warm. He looked like he knew what he was doing despite being his 6th day at Kasturi - thought I would make a special mention about him. Would I come back for a fourth time? Some improvements have to be made about the upkeep of the facilities in the room and definitely better improvements with the F&B - but Kasturi's one life-saving feature is definitely its location....

Stayed here a couple of days on business & leisure. A budget hotel @ only MYR 105 per nite, I was pleasantly surprised that the accomodation included - air condition, 36 inch flat tv, hot/cold water dispenser,mini fridge, mini safe, hot/cold shower, hair dryer. And...friendly reception...SUPER!

Check-in was smooth. Booked the family room, facing the sea. Had a pleasant stay, room was spacious and clean, bed was comfy, view was amazing. Provided towels, bath foam, shampoo,electric kettle and packed drinks, bottled water. However no mini fridge in the room. Happy that the hotel provided hot/cold water dispenser at the foyer, we just refilled our bottles whenever needed. Staffs attended me with a smile whenever i needed something. Breakfast was decent. Only frustrated with the big piles of stones placed along the beach, block views and can't really enjoy the beach. But when the tide comes in we did made the best of it. Affordable room for family of 5 with nearby eateries and groceries.
