We have stayed at this Hotel/Resort for 3 nights, 29th of Oct. – 01st Nov 2009. The Resort is situated in Mulu on the River Melinau. The surrounding mountains make the area look very picturesque. We booked the Meranti Chalet acomodation which consisted out of terraced, wooden Chalets on stilts with view onto the River Melinau. The Chalets are connected... more

This resort could be so much better, but with the Marriott brand taking over in January 2010 I’d advise you to delay your trip until then! We stayed in room 254, a deluxe double, which was spacious, clean and just how it appeared on the website. Being a wooden structure there were marks on the floor and walls and the... more

Beautiful resort with nice kitchen, great swimmmingpool, close to Mulu National Parc (transferpossibility from the resort (only 5 min. drive). But watch out.... For all extra's the management will try to let you pay much too much... Example.: If you book you excursions at the resort you will pay much more then at headquaters of the parc. If you book... more

Generally a pleasant hotel for a few days in the rainforest, and the best accomodation that is available in Mulu, but very much NOT a 'luxury resort'. Rooms are basic, dated, showing signs of age and very musty smelling. The only way we found to counter the strong smell of damp was to keep the aircon on full blast at... more

If you're expecting to have a boutique spa experience in the middle of the Sarawak jungle, don't go to the Royal Mulu. In fact, don't go to Sarawak. There is nothing Royal about this place, and as resorts go, not so resort-y, but the hotel is located at the entrance to some of the best hiking and caving in Sarawak.... more

Royal Mulu is a dump. It's expensive, desperately in need of renovation and the food is very poor. Guests are "trapped" in the resort as there is nowhere else to go and drinks prices are 3 times higher than normal, Using the Internet will cost you more than 10 times the normal rate. They sell National Park tours for more... more

3 night stay, thought the room was good overall and very spacious. Food at resort was reasonable too, my partner is Malaysian and she agreed. Some review say the food is poor but we disagree, the buffet dinner had good choice and quality was reasonable. Prices are expensive for drinks, recommend you stick to water! Went to Mulu for the... more

Since there have been so many reviews about the Royal Mulu Resort I shall just go right to the main points that I think will be useful to help other readers make up their minds about whether to stay there. 1. On the whole I found the facilities at the Resort to be about average: * the buffet dinner was... more

I was surprised to read the negative reports on Trip Advisor so decided to write my own. We stayed here for 5 days at the beginning of July and loved it. The staff were extremely friendly and the location is absolutely beautiful! This was our second stay at Mulu, having previously visited 4 years ago. There are plenty of activities... more
