I didn’t expect the place was so near to the kk Times Square and next to imago. Just across and use the bridge. Thus location was very convenient. The rooms are spacious and clean and to enter the floor need card which is safe for woman. The staffs are very friendly and helpful as well and was able to assist and even help in our grab service informing them to come right infront of the hotel. I really love the ambience. And there is also restaurant and convenience store at the same building.
The location was strategic , many convenient stores around the hotel, staff was very helpful and friendly. Thumbs up to Haizzan for helping me out with my plan! Very recommended! Will come back again in the future

First off, I booked the One Bedroom KING but I stayed in the One Bedroom QUEEN instead, without being informed. I didn't realise this until I checked out and look at the pictures again.
Still, the room is a suite type, complete with a kitchen (with a full-sized fridge and a microwave), a living room, a bedroom and the bathroom, overlooking the swimming pool.
One major complaint I read from the reviews is the lack of breakfast choice and that is true, considering it's a 4-star hotel. But it aims to be sustainable so it's understandable that the food choice is limited. They're delicious, though.
Hotel has no room service but you can easily order food delivery from surrounding restaurants.
I wanted to give full stars because I enjoyed my stay but looking back at the pictures, I feel lied on about my room type 💔 uploaded a picture of the bathroom I stayed in; it has no bathtub as it claims to have in KING rooms.

Checked in at the hotel at around 9.30pm. I noticed the air conditiong was kinda hot. But i thought to myself, I’ll give it some time run first. Maybe it’ll get better soon. Then an hour later, it was still hot, so i called operator, and she said she will send someone to our room. Waited about 30 minutes or more, still nobody came. I called the second time, and she said she’ll get someone to our room again. And that’s it, nobody came to our room, to help us with the air conditioning. And we were to tired to wait already. So My 8 month old baby sleept sweating that night and i had to fan him with the note book that they put beside the bed. Upon checkout, I complained to the receptionist and the manager about the incident, and they checked on their system that the issue had been resolved. Which was abvioustly a lie. So the manager said he will investigate the matter and he promised something to me. So i hope he keep his words. I’m a regular here, so i know there was something wrong with the air conditioning. I know the quality of the hotel. So let’s see wether the manager is serious about his words.

Travelling have always taken a toll on my health. There’s a few staffs worth mentioning for their 5 Stars Services from the Heart and the Professionalism displayed. First and always; Florence the front management, Aida, Arman, Patricia and last but not least Isham the bellhop! They are lovely and wonderful individuals who helped contribute to my creature comforts. Once I had a severe mobility issues and Patricia including Isham assisted me with my meals. Florence and Arman took care of my room. Ensured that it was conducive enough for me.
My deepest gratitude.

From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive to every detail. The room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The hotel’s facilities were top-notch. The pool area was serene and well-maintained. I will definitely be returning!
We stayed at Hatten Hotel in Malacca and found it super convenient—right in the middle of everything, from shopping malls to historical spots. Our room was spacious and comfy, with great views over the harbour . The food in the restaurant was surprisingly good, and the rooftop bar was a real highlight—fabulous city views at sunset to end the day and great views at night. We found the staff and service very responsive. Great spot for a short city break and good value for money.
I had booked an ocean view room, as confirmed in my reservation. However, upon check-in, I was initially assigned a room overlooking a pond with a large tree obstructing the view. Fortunately, the receptionist was extremely helpful and promptly arranged a room that matched my original request. Overall, my stay was average, with cleanliness being just acceptable. I was quite exhausted from the check-in process and the hassle of switching rooms, so I don’t have much more to add.

AAmyLThis was our first trip to Semporna with our son, and we absolutely loved our stay at Sky Water Villa! The Deluxe Villa offered a beautiful view, and the staff were incredibly friendly, always welcoming us with warm, courteous smiles.
We felt so lucky to witness a sea turtle that appeared around midnight—such a memorable experience! Although the food was a bit spicy for our son, he still enjoyed it very much. We truly appreciate the chef’s kindness in preparing a special fried egg for him at no extra charge.
The staff also accompanied us for snorkeling around the villas, as well as kayaking and stand-up paddling. Their thoughtfulness really made our stay extra special.
We loved everything about Sky Water Villa and hope to visit again soon!
CCherryCMMWhat’s a pity the seaside was under construction.
But the whole place looks really great. Will visit again soon!
Here some advices for better experience during stay:
1. Please do maintenance for “drain block up issue”regularly.🧐
2. Should notice the area under construction before customer checking in.
3. Set an intercom for better services.

GGuest UserWe had a perfect time at Eaglebay Retreat. It’s truly an undisturbed paradise. You have an entire house and hundreds of meters of coastline all to yourself. Every morning, you can wake up in the sunshine and decide whether to go snorkeling or just relax in the sun—you have the choice. The sunsets were always perfect, and experiencing them on a paddleboard is far better than being in a crowded place like KK.
At the same time, the retreat offers a wide range of activities that are both rich and reasonably priced—paddleboarding, jet skiing, kayaking, and more, so you’ll never feel bored.
During our stay, Arlyn and h is family provided us with everything we needed: they inflated our paddleboards, helped us arrange sea activities, climbed trees to pick coconuts for us, and prepared delicious meals. Whenever we needed them, they were always available, without intruding on our privacy. Their presence was always perfectly balanced.
I would also like to thank Faizal, who did a lot of work before our arrival, and Jamri, the kind lady who helped us recover our lost Apple Pencil during our stay. She assisted in finding it, came up with several ways to return it (considering Eaglebay Retreat’s remote location), and finally delivered it to my friend personally, asking for nothing in return. Your kindness will be remembered.
Yes, I think we would definitely recommend this place to our friends, and we will visit Eaglebay again in the future.
FFatyNur⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️first, We have to contact the owner 48h prior to check-in. Deposit rm400 before check in.
