Duta Village Beach Resort Kuantan

"A good cheap place to stay, appeared to be a little on the rundown side but we enjoyed our stay there. The restaurant had lovely meals but we felt we were intruding when we approached for a meal. There was no book in our room to explain the facilities. The swimming pool was a great place to cool down. Sunday Bar, by the beach, was a lovley way to end the evening." - Ruth Howes

"The Hotel restaurant is heavily infested by houseflies and the room with mosquitoes. " - Anonymous

"The front desk service was OK but the cafe service was lousy. The guy who manned the counter was rude and his only concern was whether I will pay cash or charge it for the extra buffet breakfast. Let me tell you ... there was no food left in the tray since they were all gobbled up by the convention group. Even then food was gone as soon as it made it to the tray. The very least DVBR can do was to separate the group from the other hotel patrons so no one raised eyebrows, upset or have theier kids nagged about being hungry while there was no food to serve. I am staying at a different hotel on the next visit to this area." - Anonymous

"You must absolutely have a chalet and not one of the rooms in the main building. The price is the same: very cheap. Don't expect luxury resort facilities though! If you think of the chalet (with full hotel service and working air co) as a lodge, you will be very happy. It is kept surprisingly clean. Nice pool. The location is superb, very quiet, under the trees on a sandy beach. Have a drink at the "Sunday Bar", kept by a French chap with good English. The only setback is the food. Breakfast must be all right for Malaysians but the only concession to western ways is a doubtful piece of toast. Have coffee or tea in your room (both are complimentary) and buy breakfast biscuits in Kuantan. The buffet is so so, a la carte unthinkable. Luckily there are plenty of local eating places nearby, I recommend the food court "Restoran Alif". " - sylviane debaise
