Cleanliness

The resort is quite rundown but still acceptable. Some areas are dirty due to the fallen leaves from trees. Anyway, one good part is that the sea water is crystal clear.

Food (Breakfast Buffet)
There is a wide range of foods available during the breakfast buffet.
You definitely will enjoy it. Trust me!!


There are a few restaurants (chinese, indian, malay, western foods, KFC)
just outside the resort (Walking distance).
As a result, you don't need to be worry about the foods.

Facilities


There are lots of facilities available in the resort.

As a result, you can enjoy your whole day in the resort without going out.
Swimming pool, Tennis court, Table tennis, Gym, Bicycle riding
Water sports, ATV ride & etc.
Unfortunately, WIFI is chargable & only applicable at the lobby area.
P/S: The WIFI facility is provided by TM. You need buy the prepaid card at
the lobby area. It cost around RM25 for 24 hours.

Comments
I like the most of this resort is the breakfast buffet & its crystal
clear sea water. I enjoy swimming in the sea.
However, the only disadvantage is that WIFI service is chargeble.
I'm expecting to get free WIFI service with the room rate i paid for.

Hotel Lobby


Deluxe Room

There is a slidding door at the bathroom.
You can laze in the bath tub while watching tv.


Room View
Basically all the rooms face towards the sea.
However, the sea view is blocked by the trees.

Comments
Nothing special about the Ayam Penyet & Ayam Panggang.
Is just the same as what you had at MAMAK stall. The price of
the food is still reasonable (just slightly expensive than MAMAK).

However, this is about Indonesian food. Its a new experience if
you haven't try Indonesian food before.

Location

Swiss Garden Resort & Spa Kuantan (Part 1)

Date of Visit
9 - 13 April 2009

Room Category
Deluxe Garden View Room (Lowest room category)


Room Rates

RM280 net with 2 breakfast (Normal Rate)
Almost the same rate as Impiana Resort & The Legend Resort (Cherating). Since these two resorts have been in a very bad shape, so the rate of Swiss Garden Resort is not considered very expensive.
P/S: You can always get a lower rate under Internet booking.

Cleanliness
(Max 5)
Swiss Garden Resort managed to refurbish few areas of its resort include rooms (Deluxe sea view room onwards). As a result, everything look fresh, clean & new. However, the sea water is dirty & muddy.

Food (Breakfast Buffet)

Difficult to look for foods outside the resort (NOT HYGIENE).
Had diarrhea after eating the MEE MAGEE GORENG.
Recommendation of places to have food: Hotel itself, Kuantan town or KFC (At the resort exit, turn right. Go straight for 3KM. KFC is on your left).


Facilities
Basically, the facilities is enough for you to pass your time.
Swimming pool, Tennis court, Table tennis, Water sports, Gym,
Game room (Arcade, PC & PS2 game), Paint ball, Free WIFI(rooms).
P/S: WIFI sucks!!! Not stable! Problems!

Password for WIFI: sgrsk (You are required to enter password to use WIFI)


Overall Rating


Swiss Garden Resort can be known as the best resort around
Cherating Beach & Balok Beach. Trust me!

Comments
If you are going with your the other partner & willing to pay a little bit
more $$$, i would like to recommend Deluxe Sea View Room rather than
Deluxe Garden View Room. You will know what i mean after access to the
Swiss Garden's website (look at the picture of Deluxe Sea View Room)

It is so relaxing having breakfast here while listening to the wave sound.
P/S: Unfortunately there will be lots of flies during morning.
