WHAT a difference a few years makes. The last time BUZZ paid a visit to this gorgeous beachside resort located in Manjung, Perak, it was operating under a different name, with a different concept.
Just under a year ago, the property was refurbished and transformed into the DoubleTree by Hilton Damai Laut Resort, and we were eager to experience the brand’s signature hospitality during one of the recent long weekends.
It was a long drive to the resort from the Klang Valley, but all our weariness disappeared the moment we caught sight of the hotel’s welcome party, who greeted us with fresh young coconuts plucked from the trees around the resort. As we sipped the refreshing juice, I felt impressed by the hotel’s open lobby area, and the cooling breeze coming from the adjacent sea.
