Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was absolutelly horrible hotel. I felt like in hostel, not like in resort. The elevator not worked for 2 days. The swimming pool is not working at all!! You cant use swimmingpool, because they told us they are ckeaning the pool. Haha thats not true, the pool was closed whole week and looked still same haha. The room was dirty, bathroom was disgusting. You hear everything from the outside and from other rooms and behind door, so you cant sleep. And the most horrible thing was that breakfast haha. Buffet breakfast was actually nothing. Only tousts, ommelets but you have to ask for it no fruit, no vegetables, nothing more. Just toust. Not even water for drink, only tea and coffe from powder. So never again. Oh and that bed was absolutelly hard! I never slept on harder bed. We had to left after two days and find another hotel.

We wanted to book budget affordable accommodation. The only requirements were clean with a nice view. We certainly got what we expected. In fact the view was even better. We booked 2 x Seaview rooms for my family. We were allocated on floor 3. So we had rooms facing the beach opposite each other. This was perfect with our older children. The rooms are basic but is in line with what you pay for. The breakfast is basic but the view from up the top is amazing. I recommend as long as you know what you’re paying for. It had hot water, clean and pretty comfortable. Definitely a room with a Seaview is the best choice. Very grateful they were able to allocate us next to each other on the same floor high enough to take in a beautiful view. Location is excellent close to many restaurants.

The perfect place from which to explore Cenang Beach. Very comfortable and spacious room and very affordable does not hurt your pocket but will give you all the basics things you need for a vacation. Plenty of fantastic eateries near the hotel just walking distance. Friendly receptionist staff and fantastic housekeeper, they kept my room very very clean. I love how strategic this hotel is, just few steps from the beach and shops. I will certainly be back <3

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia1 contribution
The overall maintenance of the resort left much to be desired. The common areas, such as the lobby and hallways, were in a state of disrepair. It was evident that the resort had seen better days and was sorely in need of renovation. The pool area, which was another selling point for the resort, was unkempt, with dirty water and broken loungers. I attempted to communicate my concerns with the management, but they seemed indifferent to the feedback. It was clear that they were more interested in taking guests' money than providing a satisfactory stay. This lack of responsiveness to guest concerns only added to the frustration of the experience. One would expect a beachfront resort to have a prime location for enjoying the sun and sea, but the Royal Agate Beach Resort failed in this regard as well. The beach was littered with trash and lacked proper maintenance. It was far from the idyllic and serene beach experience I had envisioned. Additionally, the noise levels in the resort were unbearable. There were frequent parties and disturbances that went on well into the night, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep. It seemed that there was no consideration for the comfort and tranquillity of the guests. In the end, my stay at the Royal Agate Beach Resort was a huge disappointment. I expected a relaxing and enjoyable beachfront getaway but instead endured a litany of issues, ranging from poor service and unclean rooms to false advertising and a general lack of care for guest satisfaction. This experience has left me with a sour taste and a desire to warn others about the dire state of this so-called "resort." Save your time, money, and sanity, and look elsewhere for a truly enjoyable vacation destination. My suggestion: 1. The Resort Manager should resign from the position because of his/her failure to manage the small resort. 2. Staff should be well trained

Dear Rajeswary Our sincere apologies on your recent experience at our property. It sounds quite frustrating to encounter difficulties with the room door and not having a lock on the toilet door. We understand how these issues can greatly impact your stay and make you feel uneasy. Regarding the breakfast at Rooftop limited, I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the dirty floor and bird droppings. It is unacceptable for guests to have to deal with such cleanliness issues during a meal. Your concern about having breakfast alongside crows is also understandable and not a pleasant experience. Have you communicated with the hotel management on this? We should be able to make the rectification immediately and less damage to your experience. However, we take note on the above and ensure you we will work on the improvements. Thank you for your honest feedback. We hope you will give us another opportunity to showcase our true guest experience. Thank you.

In its day the hotel would have been good but unfortunately it’s very dated,our room was large with 2 beds which were comfy and clean but the sheets were too small and were always ruffled.The bathroom was very dated and dirty in places,the shower typical of Asia wets everything because there is no screen and the water goes everywhere.The WiFi was quite poor we got a better reception at the beach bars.We had a safe tea/ coffee making facilities a tv and a fridge,the hanging space was small… the air con was good and kept us cool.The pool area was not good,and I never saw anyone using it.The location is close to the beach and near shops,however the entrance to the hotel is at the end of a run down shopping arcade.The staff were all very nice and very helpful and they made our stay more pleasant,for what we paid per night I’m sure we could have got a better hotel with modern facilities.
