User reviews

"The beach is clean and the sand and water are pristine. You can access it through an overnight stay at a resort or a day trip to Damai Central."

Jameson Liang

"I visited Damai Central four days ago with my nieces and nephews because we were all in the mood for a swim. However, we were surprised to see a sign from the resort that seemed to indicate that the beach on their side was reserved only for their guests. We were unsure if the sign was meant to inform visitors not to climb up to the rooms or if it was an unnecessary boundary...."
