Travel to Pulau Batu Merah

The property was very well maintained, and our room was quite spacious. Although we booked a garden-facing room, we were pleasantly surprised that our room also had a beach view, which was a big plus. They have several garden-facing rooms that are also beach-facing, so it’s worth checking this when booking. The breakfast was really amazing, with a great variety of vegetarian options. The infinity pool was clean, well maintained, and a great place to relax. The resort is right by the water, although swimming in the sea is not possible here. I was already aware of this before booking, so it wasn’t a disappointment for me. They have plenty of options for both lunch and dinner, and the kitchen remains open overnight, which makes it very convenient to order food even at late hours. Getting around the resort is also easy, as they provide buggy service. The daily room-cleaning service was another nice bonus. Overall, it was a very comfortable and well-maintained property, and we had a really pleasant stay.

Had 2 bed apartment which was huge, kitchen is better than most apartments have in the UK! Downside was facing the noisy building work which starts early in the morning and goes on till late evening. Another hotel is being built which does obscure the view to the sea. This will most likely go on for at least another year as hotel being built. Breakfast is a let down, if you go nearer the end, nothing is replaced. One day we had to queue for 30 mins for a table for which they are short. Wifi in hotel is hit and miss. Not enough sunbeds and only 3 umbrellas! At least pool is open till 10pm. Not sure why they require room numbers to get a towel. Overall a decent value for money hotel, however definitely not 5 star. Best in the area and modern. Good location

Great hotel, very quirky and modern. Nice rooms, comfortable bed, great shower with nice toiletries. Lots of choices for breakfast. Staff are very friendly. Mellyn was so lovely. Enjoyed our stay

We spent 3 nights at Ambong Villas, and it was the best 3 nights, the room was really amazing, very clean and the views were insane! The staff were really friendly, and welcoming, they made it feel like home. The whole process from check-in till check-out was so smooth, even during our stay the staff helped us with recommendations to go try different beaches activities and restaurants which were really nice! I highly recommend this place. It is really special to us now and we will come back for sure InshAllah.

Our stay at Camar Resort was okay overall, but the property was not as clean as it appeared in the photos on their website. The shower also had a drainage issue — the water did not drain properly and took hours to clear, which made it seem like it may not have been built or maintained properly. On the positive side, the breakfast was okay and the staff were friendly and pleasant to deal with.
