Loved the view and the pool but the room wasn’t clean but staff got right on it. They have nicer rooms but for the price of mine I guess the lack of maintenance is to be expected. All the staff was lovely. I would stay here again just for the sunsets

The property feels unorganized, there is a large empty space just next to the corridors. The rooms are not soundproof, you can hear guests passing by or next door. Our room had water clogging issues, an rainfall shower, and ceiling residue on the towels. The hotel could use better maintenance.
Only good is the location, right next to eateries and beach

hotel review
We have been going to the malibest resort for about 5 years its not a 5 star hotel if that's what you are looking for but all the staff are very friendly Azril who cleaned are room was very good and accomadating the room's are looking very tired and really are in desperate need of updating one of the things that i find a bit odd is there is only one chair in the room but there is two people staying in the room so this means only one person can site on the balcony wihch was a let down

Hotel was ok, rooms and hotel in general looked very warn out and old. Carpet in hotel room was ancient. Drain in bathroom wouldn’t drain away quickly enough so constantly a puddle of water in there when family wanted to shower. Television in room never worked.

Get woken up by builders early every morning
Location is good, on the beach and close to bars and the main street. Hotel room tired but ok. Not given any information at check in except location of the room, shy customer service, seemed nervous to speak to international travellers. Very territorial about towels. Swimming pool uncovered so full of leaves. Workmen started loudly working on the hotel roof outside the room at 7-8am every day, so not exactly a relaxing break. But close to the beach in the centre of the strip.

Such A Disappointment
The aircondition kept on switching off every 5 minutes. I did ask them to fix sink pipe but they didn’t. Plus, the shower water from the heater was way too hot. Can’t even take our shower with it. TV was also not working. No wifi provided too. I was so disappointed. Won’t be staying here again next time.

Disappointing Stay Despite Prime Location
I recently stayed at this hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. The rooms were not as advertised in the pictures, which was the first of many disappointments. Upon arrival, I noticed there were no towels or hand towels provided. Despite multiple requests and a long wait of about six hours, I had to visit the reception four times before I finally received them.
Additionally, there were no phones in the rooms, making it inconvenient to communicate with the staff. The rooms themselves were in poor condition: they smelled unpleasant, and the carpets were dirty with numerous hairs scattered around. This level of cleanliness was unacceptable and made the stay uncomfortable.
I paid extra for an upgrade and was moved to a room in the new building. While this room was in better condition, it came with its own issues: the water pressure in the bathroom was poor, and I lost the beach view I had initially paid for.
The only positive aspect of this hotel is its convenient location near the beach. However, this alone does not justify the poor service and subpar room conditions.
Overall, the hotel failed to meet expectations, and I would not recommend staying here unless significant improvements are made. The high cost does not match the quality of the accommodations or the service provided.

Værelset var okay, rimelig slidt.
Døren kunne dårligt åbnes ud til balkonen. Når man tændte vandet i bruseren, lød det som om man var ved at ødelægge det hele. Når strømmen var tændt, larmede boksen rimelig meget og internettet virkede måske 10% af tiden vi var der.
Lokationen var god og personalet søde.

Väldigt prisvärt. Utsikt mot stranden. Städ varje dag. Handduk hade inte behövts bytas ut varje dag med tanke på miljö. Skick är inte topp men inte heller förväntat till de priset.

Personnels très désagréables ! Surtout la femme de lacceuil elle ne te regarde même pas elle n'est pas du tout à l'écoute en plus en même temps que je parle avec elle elle parle avec sa copine et l'autre explose de rire et bien sûr elle parlait dans sa langue, bref même si l'hôtel est super bien positionné il reste vieux et à rénover.
