Nexus Resort & Spa Karambunai

Second time here and all I can say is the management seriously needs to do sth about the rooms condition and facilities. Eg.change the door handles, hinges, chairs, dirty bathroom silicone, uneven wall paint, noisy old aircond compressor, old and sad looking restaurants, etc. Even though they ”refurbished” the rooms, but small details and some in-room amenities are still lacking and old. If you are going to spend money to give your rooms a face-lift, make sure it's a proper one and not a half botched one. Having said that, Duty manager Christina did try her best to accommodate our family by changing to a better condition room, so I will still give some stars for the service. Nexus has so much potential that if managed properly, I can say it would do better than the other resort in the area.

Front desk service is best, friendly with most smiling face, always greeting and friendly chat to customer, bedding matters a bit soft and some spring is not well in condition, but ovell room amenities is good. However, I really wondered why a 5 stars Hotel the restaurant all size plate, bowl, even cups are so so oily, sticky, food mark, stains on almost all pieces of them, I keep on looking for more clean one but sad to said is no one is clean, really very sticky and oily, hope the restaurant can look serious on this matter, I can said I never seen such dirty plate, even I go to 2 or 3 star hotel, the plate is more clean then Le Meridien, but food and beverage is good, I love the service can custome order our favourite fresh fruit juice and coffee

Stayed two nights in a seaview room. Room was clean, mattress and pillows fresh and comfortable, and the view was outstanding. Food and service at the hotel restaurant Cafe Boleh and the poolside restaurant was good. We had thin-crust pizza by the pool both days. Only disappointment, Cafe Boleh ran out of fish for ”fish and chips” on the 2nd day when we tried to order it for dinner.

I have never stayed as good as 5 stars hotel such this Hyatt Regency in KK. Starting from reception, buttler, and front desk- all are so good in order. The receptionist who check me in was very helpful. The room perfect. Hot water is good, room is very spacefull and stunning. The decorations are just perfect, migh be Merry Chritsmas is coming. Just next time, maybe i will stay sea view. Better as have great view of KK ocean view.
