 | Swiss Garden Resort & Spa, Kuantan: Too Strict!
|  |
 |
|
 |
Probably one of the most strict hotels in Malaysia... we stayed in this hotel only for one single night and that was already one too much... we arrived around 9pm else I would move immediately to somewhere else...
The looks are okay, nice swimming pool, some design and the room is okay, not top but okay. You have also the Hyatt Hotel and Merlin Inn 5 minutes from this hotel with much more nightlife, bars, restaurants, MacDonalds and KFC. For us was the peace around the Swissgarden and the playground the reason to stay instead of the Hyatt....
After we checked in, we walked around the hotel and found a little bar on the ground floor with 3 Asian girls in too short tight pants trying to sing. When we entered the bar, the manager asked us immediately to leave because our kid was forbidden to enter the bar... Explain him that our kid don't drink any alcohol but he still refused... Even a small talk with the hotel manager didn't help anything... From previous experiences we know that kids can enter a bar in Malaysia so long they don't drink any alcohol and are accompanied with their parents...
But that was not all. The next morning we found out that the playground in the hotel was closed. It was ready to be used but for no reason closed. And try that to explain to a crying kid of less then 2 years old that he can not use the playground! We even picked this hotel because they got a playground!!!
Next accident was the jacuzzi in the swimming pool. We took our son into the whirlpool and one of the pool guys came directly to COMMAND us to get out of the jacuzzi because kids under 16 years are not allowed to use it... WHAT THE HELL!!! My kid sits on my lap and don't disturb any other guest in jacuzzi (we were even ALONE) and then we have to get out!!!
To describe how narrow minded and strict this hotel is... when we checked out, the hotel boy was pushing our luggage to our car... he had to use an elevator at the other end of the hotel and because I got some expensive camera equipment with us and especially in Malaysia I don't let my luggage one second out of my view, I had to walk with him the entire way and on the ground floor again back...
Nice hotel but if you travel with a kid, go to the Hyatt or the Merlin Inn. The Swissgarden is very strict and you can forget to use the facilities... you pay for it but you can't use it... only because you have a KID!!!

Swiss Garden Kuantan is located at the Berserah Beach about 11km away from the famous Teluk Chempedak. We booked a Seaview deluxe room for our 3rd Honeymoon. Room Facilities generally up to standard, with free Wi fi, adequate room service and house keeping, and with balcony facing pool and beach.
I would particularly give compliment to a few F & B Outlet in Swiss Garden Kuantan.
The Parrot Bar is a small shack set beside the beach which give you a serene chill out overlooking family beach outings, water sports and lovely couple walking along the beach, a male waiter on duty is friendly, have a great chat with us. though, drinks are a bit pricey, RM60+ for 3 bottle of Heineken.
The Blossom Chinese Restaurant is my best recommendation for food, food served delicious, and great customer service from the Only chinese waitress. Good Recommendation from her and your needs are well taken care of, whether you need something or you are not in need of something, she will be dropping by to check with you. I shall assign a big kudos for her warm hospitality and not forgetting the helpful receptionist in the Restaurant. Price wise acceptable, they do served steamboat and buffet with only RM39++ per head.
We only went to The Terrace for inclusive buffet breakfast. Not too good, very crowded, variety of food very less and replenishment is slow also.
Overall, we had our pleasant Honeymoon in Kuantan
