AC Hotel by Marriott Kuantan

AC Hotel by Marriott Kuantan

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at AC Marriott Kuantan from 22-25 September 2026, after spending 2 days at Teluk Chempedak. Check in was very efficient and smooth and the front desk staff gave us a room early, for which we were appreciative. The room was not large but clean and comfortable. Overall, the hotel looked well maintained except for the lifts which was a bit dated. The dining area for breakfast was large. Breakfast spread was great and staff were attentive and cleared our used plates promptly. The only downside is the location. The hotel is situated next to a 6 lane busy road with virtually no amenities around. There are no convenience stores nearby. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at AC Mariott Kuantan while we explored Kuantan's old town. We will certainly stay in this hotel again if we were to visit Kuantan in future."

"We stayed in a sea view room from 20-22 Sep 2026, having flown in via Scoot flight from Singapore. Check in was efficient, fast and smooth. We were fortunate and appreciative that the front desk staff was able give us a room right away. Our two nights' stay was excellent. Room .was spacious and it was cleaned and made up quickly during the two days we were there. Great job done by Housekeeping! The staff we met were warm and friendly and made us feel very welcomed, from front desk staff to the gardener. Teluk Chempedak beach was very clean and well maintained. So top marks to the local authorities for this effort . We had a nice conversation with the bubbly guest relations staff (Ms Marsya(?), I think). We noted that she proactively engaged the guests, presumably to find out about their experiences at the resort. To sum up, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would come back again."

"We had a great experience at the hotel, the breakfast selection was great, loved the activities, beautiful beach. The bedrooms were spacious for our family of five. The kids enjoyed it tremendously. The only complaints we have were that the kids pool were closed the second day we were there, but we were still able to swim in the larger pool. And the larger pool was a little deep for shorties like me, I was not able to stand with my little one while helping him swim as it was too deep for a 5’2”. I do wish it had been less deep, but other than that, we loved our vacation!"
