New Mekar Jaya Hotel

I loved the sense of space, the gardens and the pool area. It felt like an oasis in the middle of a bustling city. The beach was just a seven minute walk, where I tried a couple of surfing lessons and enjoyed sunset walks. There was also a huge variety of restaurants and massage spas to choose from. They kindly upgraded my room so it was exceptional value

I stayed here for two nights starting September 17th. The staff was incredibly accommodating and allowed me to store my suitcase for three days before check-in while I went on a tour, which I deeply appreciated! My room was located on the second floor near the reception. The property features a beautiful garden and courtyard pool, and the room was well-equipped with a fridge, kettle, bedside cabinet, wardrobe, inside table, clothes rack, and an outdoor table and chairs. The bathroom was also nice, featuring a sleek black shower and complimentary toiletries.

The Bedding: The bed was made with a fluffy blanket instead of a duvet or a sheet. I would have much preferred standard linens. I asked the receptionist for a sheet and he gave me one which I was grateful for. The Lighting: There is no bedside lamp or reading light, and no way to switch off the main light from the bed. You have to get up to turn off the lights before sleeping.

Location

My fault, next time I will ask for a ground floor room as I’m in my sixties and the stairs to go to the pool were hard work.

Great value for money, very acceptable. Pool was fine, room was fine. more than acceptable for the money.

You really can't complain for the value for money.
