Teluk Cempedak beach accommodation

Nice river and sea views.

The property is very nice and we enjoyed it. However, the parking situation was not pleasant. We were instructed to use the Touch N Go card. We made a mistake of scanning the card after we exited the parking lot not before we exited the parking lot. We didn't realized we made the error on the day we checked out. The staff told us that there is no way to redeem the error. This is just bad business practice. It is not the extra monies that bothered us. It is the principal. We made a honest mistake. We find it unacceptable that the error was not redeemable at all. Given that the Hyatt brand is a global brand and we've stayed at many Hyatt's, the inflexibility put a sour taste to our trip. The second experience that we did not like was the payment for the breakfast. We were explained that the breakfast costs more if we were to pay at the restaurant counter as opposed to paying it at the reception area. We were not informed that there is not an option to pay at the reception the next day if we decide to eat at the hotel for breakfast. The only option available was to pay at the hotel restaurant. As a result, we ended up paying an additional $13 ringgit per person. Again, this is not about the additional $13 ringgit since this is not a lot when we convert into our home country currency. It is the lack of information. During our trip, we've stayed at Le Meridien and Angsana. We didn't have issues with these two hotels. Both are of the same level as the Hyatt.

Breakfast menu is adequate and the room was cool.

Small pool. Good seaview

1. Toilet should have soft closure 2. Guider for birdwatcher and nature walk are good but can do better. For birdwatch, should bring the guest to the kayak area where more exclusive bird hang around and not lobby and dinning. Nature walk is quite nice but need a bit more training. For both, best i suggest give a guideline on topic to show and say. And if possible collect or take picture for animal evidence like bird feathers, otter walk around the estate, snake skin.

This place needs major upkeep. The room was disgusting. We supposed to stay two nights. No way, we left the next day and booked another hotel. I lost my money in the night we didn’t stay, but it was worth it. Also had a major ant problem. Wife couldn’t sleep as she said she kept feeling thing crawl on her.
