Book top-rated Resorts in Kuantan, Malaysia

"Mangala was wonderful for husband and I as we have a hectic schedule in KL City. We stayed over a weekend, also to attend a friend's wedding in Kuantan that Sunday. The rooms are amazing. We basically basked ourselves in the oh-so-very comfy bed, outdoor shower feels, pretending to be yogis at the spacious verandah whilst being greeted by nature's best! Spa time was also amazing. I am not a fan of massages but my husband is. He added another hour and mentioned that the Sabahan girl (sorry, i forgot her name!) was an excellent masseuse! I opted for a gingery scrub instead which was equally invigorating after. The staff were exceptional. Not only they make a point to recognise you by name and room, they stand to be there at your aid 24/7, no kidding, just call! Mangala also welcomes you with a refreshing drink and a tour of the estate where the villas are built on. As i remembered correctly, more new villas and facilities to come! Yeay! Mangala feels relatively new, however, the staff and available facilities has been trained and managed very well. Being new, I feel that Mangala still has some improvements to make. Being 40 minutes away from Kuantan town and just shortly after the entrance of Gambang exit, there are not many things to do outside-nearby except eating places and convenient stores. However, excursions to Kuantan / drivable destinations can be arranged! There are some Malay / Indo / Mamak restaurants just before the Mangala guard-entrance but when Malaysia starts to rain, perhaps a more extensive room service would be great too! And also when it rains, perhaps Mangala should also offer indoor entertainments (theatre room, board game rents, etc) but of course without jeopardising the beautiful nature concept. As for me and my husband, we really didn't want to not go anywhere but just rest in the room. So the place was perfect for me. And there are also villas with pools that could also be of more fun time in the room! Mangala is also proud of their o"

"This is among best place in Pantai Balok for your children. Large pool for adults and children. Very near to variety of seafood restaurant. If you think Gambang Resort City too large for your kids, this is the best place in Kuantan areas."

"Location was good, 10 mins drive from Teluk Cempedak beach. Room was clean and comfortable. Coway water dispenser available. Roof garden could not be enjoyed as the lights were not turned on at night. Overall, the stay was good but we thought it could be priced cheaper. "

"Pros, clean and quite, walking distance to beach, free flow of drinks, country side environment. Cons, small size pool, no more pool snooker table, perimeter fencing need to be secured, saw a wild boar hanging around at night within the resort compound."

"the best part was room is large. location wise is great as it is near the main road and near to the mosque and also very near to the beach. the not so best part was the swimming pool seems like no maintenance. the water is greenish. everything was ok except for the pool"

"Hotel is just in front of the beach. Beach is very clean & hardly anyone on it. Nice stretch to walk / run. I had an amazing time just walking probably 1-2 km on the beach. Water is clean. Bedroom is small but clean. Staff are friendly. Within the hotel compound facing the sea, they have a cabana / hut which I could just sit down & chill. Very windy at times. Great for just spending time alone with the sound of the sea & wind."

"The price is one of the best in Kuantan. It has a sister resort nearby called "Duta Sands Resort" which is along the same road (Jalan Bersarah) but nearer to town, so be careful to go to the right one. Even their logos looks pretty similiar. This hotel really brings out the heart of Kuantan. Rustic feeling, by the sea. We have stayed at this place at least 4 times and we will be definitely be staying here again in the future."
