Swiss Garden Damai Laut Review

Hello Hello!
Again we went on an impulse getaway. But this time around the impulse was no good. We didn't quite like the place.
Actually, I've been wanting to see this place for quite some time..like since 2,3 years back.  So finally we managed to book a place for 1 night only. Thank goodness for that. (man! I should have just booked a room at Sepang Goldcoast as the room was on offer at RM400 ++ per night..lagi worth it..boo!)

Anyway..haihhh..the journey to this place took forever. Started the journey at 10.15am and only stopped at Tapah for a quick lunch. Only reached the hotel at 3pm! Phew! And of course with the help of our trusted GPS.

In a nutshell, all I can say is. There is nothing there! Nothing. The food places are too far from the hotel and if you go out for dinner, you have to be willing to drive back in the dark (didn't see any street lamps along the way  to the hotel..only trees :p )

Price
For the money we paid, certainly it was not value for money. RM270 per night with breakfast. We also had the buffet dinner at RM55 per head so that was another RM110 burnt. Bummer.
Oh and don't forget about the petrol and toll. In total I think we paid about RM120 for petrol ( a comfortable level as we refuelled as we reached the hotel) and approximately RM44 for toll.

SOOOO in total we spent about RM550 for the trip. Argh, what a waste! Should have just gone to Genting Highlands or Melaka. Well, at least I know now that we will not be going back to this place.

Food
If you're a hungry person like me..make sure you tapau or buy some food before getting to this place. If not you have to wait for dinner time to eat. You can always eat at one of their restos or order room service (room service menu is very limited), but I regretted not buying McD when we passed by the UTP area.
Tastewise - buffet dinner was okay. Spread was limited but the pepper prawns were yummy. I can say the food was okaylah.

Service
Normal. Nothing to shout about. Quiet fast maybe because there was not many people. And now wer know why there were not many people..right.

Cleanliness
Room looked new, so it was quite clean except for the bedsheet. I shall reserve my comments on that. Erk!
Bathroom - the tub was...it was in need of some cleaning. But the toilet was clean so that was ok.

Activities
They have many activities but I don't see many people participating in any of it. There was an ATV service as well, but I came down with fever and flu so we had to forego that. Was not in the mood.

I think if there were other interesting things at this place and the food places were easily accessible maybe we could have enjoyed our stay.  Then again, to each his own.  Maybe for some it would be an enjoyable stay.  Maybe.
