"Hotel is convenient and walkable to JB central and city square. However, construction nearby that makes the walk a little messy but still manageable. Room is clean, but toilet was not well ventilated and had a mouldy smell. Ok for a night’s stay."
"Great for travelers with kids. There is a water park at the hotel and some sea activities.
Wanted a place to chill, and the cafes are far away from the hotel rooms and are very quiet at night.
Room was very convenient, microwave fridge, so getting food back to room to eat is the way to go.
Toilets are kinda old. Not easy to flush."
"Stayed with my hubby from 22 to 24 May 2026. Excellent room, very clean and well maintained. Breakfast spread was scrumptious and satisfying. In Room Dining service, very very good. Just 1 hiccup though, when we called for bell hop service, took more than 20 mins to show up. By which time our transporter had arrived. This is second time we encountered such incident. We are regulars at Amari since 2017, hope this issue is addressed so that we could continue to enjoy our future visits."
"Stayed at the family suite, the kids room is so lovely, my kid enjoyed it. The toilet was amazing too. Great stay. Breakfast spread was good too. The free flow alcohol and food spread at club lounge was great too."
"Very beautiful location and a nice property. The staff are so sincere and helpful, but the hotel is extremely over priced for what it actually is. They are charging Ritz-Carlton pricing for a Hilton experience."
