OMBAK DIVE RESORT

Самый главный плюс этого отеля это местоположение и супер доброжелательный персонал. От причала с лодкой идти 30 метров, до лонг бич идти 10 минут. Неплохой ресторан при отеле, но сильно дороже ресторанов вокруг, при этом по качеству аналогичен. Каждый вечер можно посмотреть кино в кинотеатре. Завтрак довольно плох- маленький выбор блюд, иногда совсем без мяса, мало фруктов, химический сок, вообщем на завтраке они очень сильно экономят. Свои экскурсии у них тоже дороже чем можно купить в другом месте. Но повторюсь что персонал замечательный и очень доброжелательный.

We stayed 5 nights in Ombak Dive Resort. Booked a package deal including diving and food through their website but was charged RM 1.000 too much per person. They tried to comp us with drinks in the bar 🤯. Ended up ripping us of for RM 1.300. Hotel is average and does not match very high prices. Food in the restaurant is boring/tasteless and also way too expensive. Dive Center is okay but our instructor could not communicate in English. Perhentians has plenty of better priced options. Go somewhere else!!!

July 2022 : Rooms and bathrooms are clean, a bit dated BUT clean. Local food was great, breakfast was below average, food generally gets very expensive, and sadly a handful of restaurant/kitchen staff could be the reason why the rating is low. At times, the food can really take a long time to be served even when the restaurant is barely occupied. The rest of the staff (non-restaurant) are extremely friendly and helpful. Housekeeping, front desk, water activity team were nothing but great. They truly are meant for hospitality. July 2023 : Returned as a guest again. Again, I’m happy with the front desk service and state of the room. Breakfast continued to be below average. Local lunch and dinner was bad. Really bad, which is so disappointing. Last year’s local food was so good! Not sure if they hired a new chef? Enjoyed snorkeling both visits. Well arranged, it was just a really fun experience. May return in 2024, just for the room and snorkeling. Will opt to eat at the nearby local eateries. Overall, the staff are great just don’t be surprised to bump into 1 - 2 not so friendly ones.

Cons- 1.Hotel’s cafe - Cafe food is a bit expensive compared to the restaurants at long beach. We took their meals package and they Provided ala carte menu due to less than 15 customers. Their ala carte menu are repeatable for lunch and dinner for both days. Not much choices as well. 2. The complimentary drinks are same with the ala carte menu. 3.Electricity - still using generators. Cut off time are 10am, 4pm and 8pm. 4.Room - We booked two rooms and both rooms are superb nearby to the generators. Noisy and there are ants in the room. 5. No towel and mineral provided during snorkelling. 6.Wifi connection is pretty poor. The line was bad especially in the room. The wifi was faster at the cafe Pros- 1. Nearby jetty 2. Receptionists were friendly and well versed in English but keep MIA 3. Recommended Snorkelling trip with Zul and Shafiq. Humour and nice. It was fun with the 5 points expenditure. Able to see sharks, turtles and nemo. 4. Less than 10mins walk to long beach

Es muy caro y lo venden como un resort siendo un hotel muy cutre. Todo muy antiguo, desagües oxidados, mobiliario fatal. Mosquiteras rotas, ropa de cama sucia, toallas que dan bastante asco, etc.La habitación nada que ver con las fotos, muy muy pequeña, no cabe nada. El wifi apenas llega a las habitaciones, el baño fatal. Hice la reserva hace 5 meses y como tengo problemas de sueño especifique que me dieran una habitación lo más silencioso posible. Y cuando llegamos me habían puesto al lado de los generadores. Temblaba hasta la cama.

Il posto è immerso nella giungla per cui molto suggestivo, il personale è strepitoso accogliente e attento a qualsiasi richiesta (mi hanno portato anche le valige fino alla barca perchè la spiaggia al mattino è sotto acqua per accedere al resort). Le casette sono molto carine in legno, da abituarsi al bagno che la doccia non è divisa dal resto, ma in tutti i posti è cosi. Noi abbiamo anche mangiato bene sia alla carta che quanto compreso nel menu in full board. Alla sera mettono un film nella parte esterna del ristorante e devo dire che è una cosa molto particolare e che mi ha fatto piacere. in questa zona non ci sono spiagge he valgano la pena, quindi bisogna sempre spostarsi con i taxi boat (se ne trovano tantissimi appena fuori dal resort). Posto consigliato vivamente. Ero in dubbio se soggiornare a long beach perchè avevo un po' paura di annoiarmi alla sera, ma in realtà sono andato a visitare long beach solo una volta ed è troppo confusionaria (cmq sono 5minuti a piedi), qui si sta meglio.
