Top Kuantan Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort

Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent resort hotel, the staff are so friendly, rooms well appointed but room wall paint and furniture outside by the pool and sea front can do with upgrading as some are showing signs of wear and tear. Would be good to have the concierge desk more visible with tours that can be taken. The front staff gave me the contact details for the third party but would be nice for other tourists to show what tours can be taken. Food in the restaurant was excellent overall, though would be nice to have a few items for daily specials. Pool bar is excellent as are the staff. Overall just ensure all food and drinks are stock d as some were not available on the day. Thanks as always. My favorite hotel."
