Had a memorable 3D2N stay with my family in One&Only. The room is well equipped with everything you would need for a perfect staycation; a spacious bathroom, bath bomb for a relaxing soaking, tea in a variety choices and Nespresso coffee machine. Balcony with a long couch is a plus for family chilling session. A short walking to the private beach where you could enjoy the sunrise. The Resort Manager, Mr Rahman is attentive and graceful in accepting feedback. Definitely will come back for another stay.

Overall a great stay and experience.
The resort is nice but the food at the hotel is overpriced for example a plate of chicken rice will cost you about RM115. Overall the experience is nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. In addition, the sports club facilities ie tennis and other varieties of sports are excellent. But during this monsoon period ie in December, there’s nothing much you can do at the beach. So try to avoid this period if you can.

This happens to be the 4th One&Only resort that I’ve stayed at; therefore there are certain expectations are required to be met. This is an excellent 5 Star Resort without any doubt but hasn’t quite succeeded in living up to the One&Only brand, unfortunately. Parking my vehicle was not an issue but lugging my baggage up a flight of stairs from the carpark to the lobby without any help was not very pleasant. I was only brought to my villa for check-in after I waiting in the lobby from 3.15pm to 4.15pm. Even then, I had to make a fuss before one of the staff attended to me. I was flabbergasted that coffee and tea was served without a sugar bowl or a milk jug during breakfast. I had to remind a member of the staff and by the time the milk and sugar arrived, I was about to finish my breakfast. Great attention to detail when it comes to amenities and presentation and I wouldn’t expect any less from The One&Only must say that all the staff are very well mannered, polite and helpful

Very good service. Staffs are well educated. Only one problem is foods are too much expensive. We have to judge the price including the servicing by staff, but I think it is still too expensive.

Rooms, Amenities were excellent. However staff attentiveness and service were below par. Buggy service and butler service was really disappointing. Wanted to organize a private dinner with family and friends, however the staff was not accommodative at all. Overall good property and amnesties, staff need to be retrained.

Not worth the priced charged
Their frontliner is trying but for the price that is charged I’m expecting the hotel to be excellent and not mediocre. The most unpleasant about the stay is the double standard of the higher management treatment to guests. Am I just not worthy enough that the gm is not bothered about my complain that he doesn’t wanna meet us as the staff claimed he’s busy but I saw him sending off all the famous second and third generation of the rich of Malaysians that’s visiting??’ Do note your other patrons are equally as important and should be treated EQUALLY! Other problem with the hotels which I wanted to highlight to the management : 1) My room is not ready on the day I checked in until 5.30 pm! 2) The bathtub is literally black and stained like it’s not wash. 3) the fruit provided in my room is rotten! 4) breakfast is slow but the staff keeps coming back to asked us what else they can get for us... all we need is our food! 5) requested to checked out and have our afternoon tea earlier than 1 pm but the buggy did not arrive until it’s 1 still and we are not being informed. 6) booked a massage and we din go but nobody actually call for reminder or to check out 7) took a kettle chip but the staff did not notice upon checking and we have to inform them instead The hotel and environment is so beautiful and serene but such a waste with the operation and management now. The management really need to step up!
