Montigo Resort Nongsa

Montigo Resort has an overall spacious and luxurious feel, with good variety of dining, spa and leisure options. It gives a very relaxing ambience during the vacation. Waiting time to check-in took quite long, almost one hour because there was only 1 staff manning the front desk (~ 12noon). But all the hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The room feels spacious. Location is great, especially when you wake up in the morning and greeted by the sea view beyond.

First up, service there is fantastic. Staff is very friendly and approachable. Food and services within resort is slightly pricey. Free 24/7 buggy services via whatsapp.

It’s my second stay at Montigo and it was an absolutely lovely stay. From the warmth hospitality of their staff and the beautiful villa with their private pool, it was a 10/10! Highly recommended!!

Amazing experience here! Staff are all super helpful and friendly! My only issue is that the water pressure is not strong enough but other than that, this place is wonderful for us.

A Very Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Price I booked a 2-bedroom sea view villa (Villa #99) for a family getaway, but what we experienced fell far short of expectations: - The so-called “sea view” was barely a glimpse, mostly blocked by a large, old tree. - The villa had a strong sewage odor, especially in the toilet – truly unpleasant. - The beach is unsafe: full of rocks and broken glass. Even the staff advised against swimming. It’s essentially a no-swimming beach. - Loud techno music blared until 1am due to a wedding banquet. When I asked about it, I was told “it’s a celebration.” This completely ruined the tranquil escape we were hoping for. A "celebration" at the expense of resort quest! - Breakfast was a major letdown. Food quality was poor, very little meat on offer, and the only popular station – roti prata was mishandled. The curry kept running out and staff took forever to replenish it. - The private pool in our villa had loose tiles everywhere. Thankfully, my kids didn’t get hurt, but it was a serious safety concern. - Of the 4 or 5 restaurants on-site, only the Indonesian one had decent reviews. But when we checked in at 2pm and wanted to make a reservation, we were told it was fully booked. With the other restaurants poorly rated, we had to take a cab out just to find a decent meal. For a resort charging premium prices, this was extremely underwhelming. I wasn’t expecting the Ritz or Four Seasons, but I did expect basic standards in food, service, and facilities. Sadly, this place delivered on none.

We brought our 2 teenage kids to stay in a Hillside Villa for 2 nights! The experience is superb with a private pool right at the hall area. All of us enjoyed the bonding time, majority at the outdoor section wheee the pool is. The view is spectacular, and waking up to this view in the morning definitely helps to clear up all the stress accumulated living in a city. Will I be back again? Definitely! Going there is a breeze with well connected transport provided from the ferry terminal to the resort.
