What I like the most is the beautiful scenery at the beach, and of course the hotel room itself. It is clean, nice and cosy. Me and my friends stayed for one night in Damai Puri Beach & Resort. We have the same opinions about this place. We would love to share it here so that you guys can improve better next time. First, the workers are not so friendly as when we arrived at the lobby nobody approach us. Second, we think that the food in the cafe was too expensive but to be honest, we don't really mind about the price as long as the food itself worth the price! But it is quite dissapointing that we ordered Nasi Goreng, it is just the rice and the vegetables but cost us RM10/plate. Totally not worth it. Third, the hallways are too dim, not enough lighting and it is a bit scary at night. Btw, please do more fun activities at night because there is nothing to do at night except for enjoying the stay LOL. Fourth, we enjoyed the swimming pool but the swimming pool floor, it is quite slippery maybe because it is dirty? But we do love the scene of the sunset, it is very romantic and suitable for those who want to go for a honeymoon! It's okay, we do have a great time here! 😉

The area is stunning, with a beautiful beach and warm sea, located right under lush rainforest. There are lots of activities, such as boat trips out to watch Dolphins, crocodiles and at night to see the fireflies glowing in the mangroves. You can snorkel or go diving, or hire a kayak. The centre at Damai has a few good places to eat, a food court selling Asian, Indian and western cuisine and has a trendy bar called Escobar which overlooks the beach, great for a sunset meal or drink. The Sarawak cultural village is also located at Damai and makes an interesting visit, with a cultural show and lots of traditional style houses to look around. The Damai puri hotel was a great place to stay. Local transport is not that good so getting around can be quite tricky, although there are plenty of tour companies running trips to wildlife parks etc( seeing orangutans was fab.) that will do hotel pick-ups. Overall we loved it!

Just to be there in the midst of the rain forest was captivating. The cultural village was nice too, quite engaging. Met few locals, who seem to love what they are doing, great ambasadors of their rich culture and heritage. But I wish the 4pm show can be better - it was too plain, should be the highlight but it was just ok, maybe too few people working in the production team. The Damai Central infront of the cultural village can be better with more vibrant shops, engaging activities and etc. Im surprised that they have video games there, come on, we do not want our children to come there and get stuck at the front of videos but we want them to enjoy the nature, smell the greens and get their feet wet from walking alongside the beach. The Damai Puri was a nice place to stay. The Spa was closed but they did not have alternative for it. The people working at the resort are super nice, very accomodating and felt right at home:).

Damai Puri Resort the great places to stay if you book deluxe sea view. It was so brilliant cuz you can see the pool and beaches. Damai central is just 4 mins walk from Damai Puri. You can see Hornbill statue and buy some souvenier there.

We ate at the hotel mainly, but there were restaurants at the near by village that were good. You could walk easily to the Sarawak Cultural village - 10 mins max. The beaches were beautiful and the rain forest equally so.

Visited on 30/12- As it was high tide, it was not safe to swim during our visit. But when low tide in the morning, you can walk quite far Scenery of the hill was great. There was a small waterfall nearby the resort where you can go have picnic. Sarawak Cultural Village is quite rundown now, they should have more attractions as the entrance fee is already high. Shuttle from resort to Kuching is convenient. Those who love nature can go hiking at Mount Santubong. There is a bazaar with stalls selling food and also 7-Eleven store in front of the Sarawak Cultural Village.
