The room was spacious, perfect for a small family. The highlight, of course, was the view, sea and pool views that were absolutely lovely. One night was definitely not enough. Just open the window and you’ll feel the sea breeze; so calm and so beautiful.
Breakfast was fairly normal, nothing fancy. If you’re not local, I’d recommend going out for breakfast around Kuantan town, there are so many great options to choose from.
For dinner, Ana Ikan Bakar Petai is just right in front of the hotel. It’s the most famous restaurant in Tanjung Lumpur and within walking distance.
Definitely will come again for a short vacay.
The island's scenery is breathtaking, especially in the evenings as the sun sets. The combination of the boardwalk, the water, the clouds, and the seagulls is truly captivating. You can also snorkel and kayak on the island, or simply relax on a cushion by the beach, gazing at the clear blue water, listening to the crashing waves, and minding your own business. It's a relaxing and comfortable experience.
The rooms are decorated in a wood-style style. Ours even had a small pool, a patio, and a small loft. Everything was well-equipped. Knowing we were Chinese tourists, they even switched the Netflix program on the TV to Chinese—a thoughtful touch. The hotel also offers a turndown service with scented candles and a small note on a leaf, making you feel instantly at home. Regarding food, there's a Malaysian restaurant and an Italian restaurant on the island (the hotel owner is Italian, married to a Malaysian woman, and built a hotel here). Breakfast is served at the hotel's buffet, offering both a buffet and à la carte options. The bread, various toasts, muffins, and yogurt are all delicious. I recommend ordering the ones with peanut butter. We only ate at the Italian restaurant once, which was average. The rest of our stay was at the Malaysian restaurant. The chef is a master at making rich, spicy, sour, and fried dishes, and he's very humorous. The smoothies are also very authentic, and I especially recommend the green apple juice, which is a refreshing summer treat. There's also a small bar during happy hour that sells grilled food and fresh seafood. We didn't know about it and missed it, but we ended up ordering a burger, which was amazing! The gravy was juicy, and while the bread was a little dry, it outweighed the problem. Even the roasted potatoes on the side were delicious! Finally, the hotel service here is impeccable. The staff greets you with a smile and immediately seeks to assist you with any needs. In short, it feels like home, and thinking of them brings a sense of security.
Transportation was a bit of a hassle. We landed at Kuala Lumpur Airport, chartered a car to Mersing for a ferry, and spent a few hours exploring Malacca along the way. We departed from the airport's Outlet at around 2:00 PM, arrived in Malacca around 4:00 or 5:00 PM, and departed for Mersing at 7:00 PM, arriving around 11:00 PM. We slept in a homestay in Mersing. The next day, we took the 11:30 PM ferry to Tioman Island, and then another ten-minute ride on the hotel's boat to the hotel. It was a hassle, but on our last day, the hotel dropped us off at the Tioman Island jetty for the ferry. Seeing them say goodbye to us, I couldn't help but think I'd return one day. Besides the scenery, it was their simplicity, sincerity, and thoughtfulness that made this hotel feel like home. It truly was ”home, sweet home.”
The Chateau is a family friendly resort, it is also a great place for events like weddings or celebration.
When you arrive to the chateau, it feels as if you were in a fairy tale, castle in the woods. The condition and maintenance of the chateau is awesome, very cozy yet grand at the same time. The staff are very friendly and welcoming to their guests, providing top notch service. There are many different locations to explore and activities to do around the facilities, which make the stay a very eye opening and entertaining one. The room was beautiful, interior design to perfection, very comfy and clean, definitely had a good rest. The food provided at the chateau, one mouth watering meal, it definitely satisfied our taste buds.
Overall the experience at this hotel was fantastic, one that I would recommend to many. I would definitely come back again in the future.
Very old building, old facilities.. but overall still a good stay
1. The escalator was too old, it took at least 1min to get the door opened.. please upgrade a better lift
2. We stayed in Fushcia building, big room, with living room, dining area, a queen size bed, a dressing area, spacious bathroom, a bathtub - cost for RM290/night on a weekend. I feel is worthy. Given shampoo, shower gel, lotion, muji toothbrush and colgate toothpaste, shower cap, vanity kit and sanitary bag. Also, in the cupboard, there is laundry bag and slippers. Only the heater will automatically stop working after sometimes when we shower. Overall worth a 3/5 for me.
3. Talking about the activities, limited. No shows, no fun, no vibes. Suggest to revamp and reopen to attract more local tourists. Current situation is, most locals come for one day trip and foreign tourists only will choose to stay here. Without fun activities, there will not be much reputation built
We regularly stay @ Zenith for countless times. Though the hotel isn't as grand as other 5 stars, the service & cleanliness has been consistent over the years. The location is strategic & convenient. There's charging station for EV car too & we can leave our car for charging with ease. We had drinks @ the cafe & were impressed by the simple honey lemon drinks & Rose chrysanthemum tea that we ordered. Will stay regular either for holidays or work.
The location is convenient, making it easy to get around and find nearby dining options. The room was clean and well-maintained, which made the stay comfortable. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and both the check-in and check-out processes were smooth and efficient.
Stayed at Club King room facing the sea, beautiful view. Check in was fast and was warmly welcome by reception staff. Enjoyed the club lounge high tea & dinner, special thanks to Hana and her intern for a remarkable service. Recommended resort for healing and even had the opportunity to shoot some faunas. Tasty & varieties of foods served during breakfast.
“We had a wonderful 2 days and 1 night stay at Ion Majestic Genting Highlands. The room was clean, comfortable, and the view was absolutely beautiful. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was very relaxing and perfect for a short getaway.
We would like to express our special thanks to the hotel staff for the lovely room decoration prepared for our wedding anniversary. It was a very thoughtful and heartwarming surprise that made our stay even more memorable.
Thank you to all the staff for the great service, friendliness, and attention to detail. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back again
We had a great stay at Swiss-Garden Hotel Genting Highlands with our 6 year old. The room was very spacious and super clean, which made travelling as a family much more comfortable. Everything felt well maintained and tidy.
The rooftop swimming pool was a lovely bonus — clean, relaxing, and a great spot for our child to enjoy while we took in the views. The hotel had a calm, family-friendly vibe, perfect for a short getaway.
Overall, a comfortable and clean hotel that works really well for families with young children. We’d happily stay here again!
The room was clean and tidy when we check in.
Found some stains to the comforter and pillows upon the check in.
Request of cleaning of room was not very well done as we notice floor was still dirty when we back and no new small towel was not given.
Lobby Staffs are friendly and helpful.

LlikoniaThe best stay ever! Lepas ni memang duduk sini je 😍 tempat selesa & bersih! Customer service terbaik! Disebabkan kami stay dekat sini tanpa dirancang, jadi nak taknak kena basuh baju kotor. Yup ada washer & dryer 2in1. So basuh semalaman, ingatkan esok tu dah kering. Rupanya dryer unit kita orang ada problem, tapi customer service sangat pantas bagi solusi! Staff tolong keringkan dekat unit lain & kita orang dapat check out lambat sampai baju kering tanpa bayar extra! Thank you so much! My family dari Sarawak nak repeat duduk sini lagi! Harga pun berbaloi walaupun time cuti sekolah ya! Yang penting cantik!
Ssaree3Amma make this one short,
The place is nice, staff were amazing, food could be alot better i mean depedns its almost all Asian.
For all coming to visit, this place is more like a romantic trip than a family vacay.
The beach is very bad TBH its all rocky, no beach front that you can actually lay on and enjoy the dash o'water
The closest lets say snorkelling requires a package purchase or if you know a sea taxi, as relying on this beach's marine life its sad, dead coral everywhere.

GGuest UserInteresting hotel with a large pool and comfortable kids' pool. The children loved it. My only suggestion is that the rooms could use better soundproofing. Otherwise, everything was good.
EElvis SeowExceptional Stay – Truly One of the Best Holidays We’ve Had
We stayed at Antara Residences – Sleeping Lion for 3 days and 2 nights in a 3-bedroom apartment, and it was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish.
Cleanliness & Apartment Condition:
The apartment was spotlessly clean and in tip-top condition. Everything was well maintained, and it was clear that a lot of care goes into housekeeping. Toiletries were fully provided, which made the stay even more comfortable and hassle-free.
Outstanding Staff & Service:
What truly stood out was the exceptional service from every department:
Reception staff were very friendly, welcoming, and informative.
Housekeeping responded incredibly fast — extra towels were delivered in under 10 minutes after our request.
We experienced a slight choke in one of the common toilets, and the technician arrived in less than 10 minutes and resolved it within 5 minutes. Super efficient.
Security deserves special mention — always alert, professional, and even greeting or saluting guests, which made us feel very safe and respected throughout our stay.
Facilities – Thoughtfully Designed & Family-Friendly
The facilities were excellent:
A heated indoor pool, kids’ pool, three jacuzzi pools, plus separate saunas for men and women.
Our unit included a private indoor heated whirlpool/jacuzzi at the balcony, which was a real highlight.
Wi-Fi was stable and fast — no lag while watching Netflix, which is already available on the TV.
Lift access via keycard scanning added to the sense of security.
Parking was very reasonable at RM10 per day. We parked for all 3 days and conveniently used Grab when heading out instead of driving.
Excellent Problem Handling:
On the first day, we had trouble operating the private whirlpool and the water remained icy cold despite waiting for hours, which was disappointing as we missed using it that night. However, the way the Sleeping Lion team handled it completely turned things around.
The next day, while we were out, I contacted their support line to help set it up properly. True to their word, they updated me that the whirlpool was fully heated before we even returned to the apartment. That level of follow-through really impressed us.
On another occasion, we were waiting at the wrong Grab pickup point. The reception staff noticed us, proactively informed us of the correct location, and personally escorted us there — a small gesture, but one that shows genuine care for guests.
Location & Convenience:
The location is fantastic. There’s a shopping mall right downstairs with a 24-hour convenience store at ground level, making everything extremely convenient. The view from the apartment was also beautiful, adding to the overall holiday feel.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, the vibe of our stay can be summed up in one phrase: Amazing — best holiday ever.
This place is highly recommended for families and staycations, and we would definitely return and recommend Antara Residences – Sleeping Lion without hesitation.
Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so comfortable, memorable, and enjoyable.
GGuest UserThis is our 3rd time booking for this hotel. Unfortunately, we are not so pleased this time. Lift at Tower was not working well during check out time which was very stressful as many people need to use during that time. Only one lift is working out of the 4 lifts. We ended up using the cargo lift.. Housekeeping did not clean our room on day 2.
RRas YenJust for a night stay up on the hill, it's highly recommended. Just that the key collection can be challenging no matter how many times we've stayed here (different block, different management)
ZZamri BaharudinThe best hotel in Cherating. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the breakfast was decent. The beach was clean, and the hotel's surroundings were also pleasant.
