  Extremely Disappointing Experience – Hidden Charges & Unfair Deposit Practices

  22 Mar 2026

  I stayed in a Junior Suite (Room 1132) for 6 days, and unfortunately, my experience was far from what you would expect from a resort of this level.At check-in, they took a 200 MYR security deposit, which is standard. However, what is not acceptable is how they clearly look for excuses to deduct from it at checkout.Right when we were about to leave for the airport, with our cab already waiting outside, they suddenly brought up an issue during their “final inspection.” They claimed the bedsheet and towel were “damaged” due to tiny turmeric stains (literally small dots) and proceeded to charge 65 MYR for the bedsheet and 15 MYR for the towel.This is completely unreasonable.If a hotel cannot clean minor, everyday stains, especially in a humid, beachside environment where guests naturally bring in sand, sweat, or small food stains, then what exactly are housekeeping services for? Charging guests for such trivial marks instead of cleaning them is simply poor practice and feels like a deliberate way to keep the deposit.Also, the timing felt very intentional. When you are rushing to catch an international flight, you are put in a position where you cannot argue or escalate the issue. It leaves guests feeling helpless and taken advantage of.I have traveled to places like Dubai and Bali, and never have I experienced anything like this. Hotels understand that when you’re traveling with family (especially kids), minor stains can happen. That’s part of hospitality.Instead, this resort seems to operate on a mindset of penalizing guests rather than serving them.Key Issues:• Unfair deductions from security deposit• Charging for cleanable, minor stains• Poor handling at checkout, especially under time pressure• Lack of basic hospitality understandingFinal Thoughts:Be very careful if you choose to stay here. Document everything at check-in and checkout, or you may end up losing your deposit over something completely unreasonable.Would not recommend based on this experience.

  Worst experience

  14 Feb 2026

  Awful service and rudest attitude Ive ever seen. Charged 1200 MR for 2 hours late check, but provided the rooms at 17:00 instead of 15:00. Not recommended at all

  A few days in beautiful Langkawi

  22 Oct 2025

  Firstly, the island is absolutely beautiful. We loved it. The hotel, not so much. There is a construction site next door, that does nothing for ambience.The check in process was long. One of the receptionists didn't seem to have a clue about what to do and depended on the other. The hotel pool is at the reception area...very odd, considering the hotel is beach front. The pool is closer to the front parking area. Not ideal at all. The saving grace for this hotel is the sea front. Its an absolutely beautiful view. There is a Restuarant at the sea front. Cocktails served are not great at all. The hotel room is large. Seems old. Bath tub is stained. Shower cubicle has no door and when you shower the water flows into the rest of the bathroom area. The beds were uncomfortable. Old TV. The room have a balcony though...while nice it faces the walk way..so no views at all. The food was not so great. The breakfast options with normal hot and cold options..fruits are limited. I did order fish and chips for dinner and I enjoyed it. At check out, we were charged for make up stains on the bedding. We were not sure whether that means they throw away the bedding and have to buy new ones. This was unfortunate.I wouldn't recommend it and had we read the reviews here we would have asked our agent to look for other options..

  Worst hotel experience ever – Camar Resort Langkawi ruined our vacation

  14 Aug 2025

  Worst hotel experience ever – Camar Resort Langkawi ruined our vacationWe are a family of five (two adults and three children) and we travel a lot. Unfortunately, our stay at Camar Resort Langkawi was a total nightmare that ruined our entire holiday. What was supposed to be a relaxing end to our month-long trip through Malaysia and Thailand became an unbelievable disaster from start to finish.From the moment we arrived, everything went wrong. Check-in took 45 minutes, even though we asked many times to make it faster after a long journey. The receptionist kept disappearing to a back room to “ask permission” for every little thing and even tried to charge us extra for our daughter. She only admitted her mistake after we checked carefully.The rooms were terrible. Both rooms had only one king-size bed, even though we clearly asked for one room with three separate beds or at least an extra bed. When we complained, they said it is “normal in Langkawi for three people to share one bed” – completely unacceptable. An extra bed was only possible with a “room upgrade” for €152 per night, on top of the already high room price. We refused this!The staff was completely incompetent. For every small problem, they had to run to a back room or call for permission. When we asked for an extra sheet at 10:00 PM, we were told: “management will kill me if I do that.”Also, the daily service was very poor. In the room where three people stayed, only two towels were provided every day, so I had to ask the reception daily for an extra towel. In addition, our personal belongings were moved by housekeeping, which caused serious frustration and a strong sense of disrespect for our privacy.The facilities were awful. At low tide, there was a terrible smell because real sewage was being dumped into the sea near the hotel. A nearby sewage plant blew a disgusting smell into the resort day and night, making it impossible to swim or walk on the beach. The pool was noisy and very shallow (only 1.3 m), and outside we were constantly disturbed by jet skis and planes flying over. Wi-Fi was bad, drinks were very expensive, and the staff remained young, inexperienced, and unprofessional.The worst part was check-out. They tried to keep €100 of our deposit for a tiny stain (less than 1 cm) on a sheet, which they said was noticed two days earlier but never told us about. Only after heated arguments and intervention from two managers did we get the money back. It felt like a deliberate attempt to take money from guests before they leave.Overall, this was the most unprofessional, unfriendly, disrespectful, and unfair hotel experience we have ever had. Even a 2-star hotel treats guests better than Camar Resort. The resort felt cold, loveless, and very badly managed. The combination of incompetent staff, dirty conditions, and complete lack of hospitality turned our stay into a real nightmare.Camar Resort Langkawi – NEVER AGAIN!
