SGIVC – Swiss Court Holiday Apartment, Damai Laut

April 23rd, 2008 | by amdTaufik |

As usual, as a member of Swiss Garden International Vacation Club, SGIVC our check-in time will be at 3:00pm. I’ve arrived SGIVC Swiss Court Holiday Apartment at Damai Laut, 10 minutes past three.

So far, I’ve never had a good experience check-in at any SGIVC hotel. This time around they have problems finding my names and verifying it before I was actually given the key. 

Previously, I had to wait for another 45 minutes to get into my room after checking-in at 3:00 PM. That happened in SGIVC Kuantan. 

The given Studio apartment room was poorly taken care off. I was so disappointed with the room’s conditions.

  • There were stains all over on the bed sheet
  • Stains was also on the couch
  • The dining table and other furniture is in a very bad condition
  • The blanket given was old
  • Flies was everywhere and that was nothing the hotel staff can do about it
  • Bathroom was ok, but I expect better!
  • No toothpaste provided
  • The walk way to the room was a bit smelly 

The list is endless . . . . .

They only provides you with 2 pillows for a queen size bed, additional pillow will cost you RM 0.50 sen each.

Driving all the way from Kuala Lumpur to Lumut, Perak and stayed in such room just makes me so mad and disappointed. Killing my joyful holiday moods.

Imagine if I decided to have a honeymoon vacation! It’s just not worth it. Whit what had been furnished in the room, I don’t think it deserve any star for it.



Not sure about the non-SGIVC-members room, they might be well taken care off, or worst!

    I went to this apartment last month. On a ticket as a SGIVC member, I found that..

    - there’s no toothpaste in the bathroom. can u imagine how far the nearest shop from this apartment?

    - scary & dangerous route from main road to the main entrance (7km distance). no guardrail near dangerous slope!! (pls be careful when u drive at night)

    - no street lighting ok.. huh..

    - iron service provided at LG.. it’s open area & the table filled with dust.

    and a lot more..
    & i feel dissapointed paying the membership fees to receive this type of services. it should be called as 1@2 star aprtment.

    I received the same service during my stay in 2007. Lodge a complain to the management with expectation the future members will get a good treatment, it seem nothing change. To a reasonable thought MEMBER SHOULD BE GIVEN SPECIAL PRIVILEGE but with those remarks it seem the management is could not careless. How would a member want to promote the club??

    me also kena tipu to join swiss garden vocation club. i think we should not join time share. we did pay rm300-400 maintaince fee very year but not get the service we expected, like the sales girl told u all the hotel or resort u entitle to stay are 4 star above!! cheated!! this story tell u, next time do not pay even single sen to them on the spot as they will use technic to force u pay deposit to get the discount or cheapest price that is only available on today like rm15k to rm20k. but this is all cheated and old technic as u need to think like u r buying a property that service last for 30 years not 30 days or weeks. BEAWARE SCAME!! some more im entitle to stay 14 nite per year but im only able to use up 6 to 8 days, coz they always say fully booked even u book 4 months early and wish to travel on normal day not peak season. no chance at all to book on holiday or season time. (they want to make money wat! got room also say full lah!!)
    advice to everyone. thanks!

    I am a platinum member of SGIVC. Anyone willing to help me? I have booked a unit of Swiss Villa in Damai Laut and need help to book another unit. A member is limited to one unit of Swiss Villa. My dates are Nov 20-23, 2010. I am willing to exchange entitlements with you, meaning book in return for you on the dates you required, as long as by August 9, 2011. Please contact me if you are willing to help make my family reunion a success. Thanks!

    Become a member of SGIVC on May 2010 during one of the vacation exhibition at PWTC. Like what has been told by salong, they desperately want your money to become a member. I am one of them (read ‘you’) who trapped into their tricks..I read through the comments here and I feel dissapointed. I just got confirmation for the vacation using my ‘free voucer’ on 31 Jul – 2 August…I’ve canceled all my agenda on that time to have very ‘relaxing moment’ with my family (i guess)..reading through here I feel mad. I just hope it will not happen to me. Or can all of you do something to wake (and wack!) them up?

    Teringat memori bercuti di Medan, Indonesia…very good services…but here, isk~

    TQ for the feedback Hinata. Hotel yg i promote kat sini semua ada star rating, feedback & review from users,ada yg ok, ada yg kurang ok dan memang ada yg tak ok, so kena pilih degan bijak.

    I dah join SGIVC since 2005. So far the service kira ok la. Cuma pernah terkena kat Grand Margherita Hotel in Kuching. Front desk staff diaorang tu buat kita macam org mintak sedekah jer. Dah la I travel from KL with small kids, sampai kat hotel nearly 5 pm.They say my room is not ready ( I did book 3 mth early ). Terus I call SGIVC customer service n complain. Tak sampai 1/2 hr, the manager dtg jumpa I offer different room ( much better )n bagi I check out late arount 6 pm. Any other hotels tak de pulak kes mcm ni. Avoid this hotel

    Dear Ai Ling, may be we can exchange entitlement next time cause just saw your request. I just back from there and book extra rooms from Swiss court holiday….call 0122080962 if you need my help next time. (I may need extra room also)

    So far the experience at Swiss Garden Kuantan has been okie…but am still disappointed in the maintenance of the rooms….if we all group up and stop paying the monthly maintenance fee….it will definitely get their attention
