A'Famosa Resort — Hotel in Malacca

There’s nothing worth mentioning about this place. I guess it’s one of the worst premium accommodation we had paid for. |Stayed here for 2 nights with family of 8 adults + 1 infant in a 4room villa with pool and to be honest, everything here is disappointing. |1. We arrived early (1:30pm) and was happy that they told us we can check in at 2pm(usual check in is 4pm btw) as the villa was already in the midst of housekeeping. Since it was Just another 30 minutes, we decided to stay at the reception area and wait for it to be ready. To our nightmare, we ended up waiting for more than 2 hours and all the reception could advise was “oh the villa should be ready soon, please give us awhile more.” For that 2 hours, we could have had a decent lunch first before coming back to check in. Such poor communication|2. the villas was still dirty after we waited for more than 2 hours of housekeeping. Bathroom floor was still soaking in water. Kitchen floor was mopped but it was still very wet. Bedsheet got blood stain. Pillows still had strands of hair. Toilet bowl water tank leaking. Wifi provided but connection extremely unstable. |3. Though there is a kitchen. But it was not equipped. Just merely a kettle and microwave. Only utensils are plates, forks and spoon. Even the washing detergent was just a bar soap????!!! We had to call and demand for a proper detergent to wash the dishes after bbq|4. Pool is dirty. Full of debris and dirt. Pool wall was lined with green algae. We had to call the housekeeping to clean up the pool, but they only managed to clear the floating debris but did nothing about the algae.|5. We ordered bbq dinner package. Bbq food were all served still frozen. ended up we had to microwave to defrost the food first before bbq-ing. The grill was a reusable one and it was already charred but they still provided that for use.|6. No butter or oil provided at all. |7. They don’t give aluminum foil for bbq thus sweet corn gotta be microwaved. |8. Food quality is super bad, |- fish item is super duper salty that no one touch it.|- sotong ball had a weird sandy texture|- marinates used for the Chicken wings and squid is the same|9. They don’t provide extra towel or pool towel. Additional towels will have to pay rm10|10. There’s only 1 air con controller in the villa to share amongst 4 rooms. So the controller had to be placed at the living hall in case whoever need to adjust their aircon.|11. One of room door had a super loud creaking sound from the hinges and the management just decided to turn a deaf ear and ignore it. Luckily we managed to oil it ourselves. ||There is really nothing fantastic about this place. It will be the first and the last trip here. Definitely not recommended for families with kids and elder. Only consolation are:|1. Baby chair provided. |2. Breakfast spread was pretty nice. ||A place definitely not recommended for the price paid.|The management honestly got to look into their way or managing hospitality. Otherwise A’Famosa gonna be a dead town whereby it only attract first timer and there won’t be any...

🌴 A’Famosa Resort, Malaysia – Family Fun & Great Hospitality!

We recently stayed at the A’Famosa Resort in Melaka and had a wonderfully relaxing week and fun-filled experience. Here’s a quick breakdown of the highlights:

🏢 The Condo Accommodation

The condo unit was spacious and perfect for families or groups. It had all the basic amenities we needed, and the view from the balcony was serene, surrounded by lush greenery. The place is a little dated, but well-maintained and clean. Great value for the space provided! The reception at the Condo D'Savoy was very warm and welcoming!

🐾 Safari Wonderland

One of the biggest highlights of our trip! The Safari Wonderland was enjoyable for both us adults and our kid. From the animal show to the drive-through safari, we got to see tigers, lions, giraffes, elephants, and more. The animals seemed well-cared-for, and the interactive elements like feeding and photo ops were a hit! The wild wild west show is a great watch and will stay on for ever!

💦 Water Park

The Water World was packed with fun slides, a lazy river, the hula-hula and a huge wave pool. It’s not a world-class water park, but it’s definitely enough for a full day of splashing fun, especially for the children. Lifeguards were attentive, and the place was lively without feeling overcrowded. They have lockers to keep your valuables safe and eateries to keep you full and hydrated. Just outside the water park there is a place to practice your shooting skills with paint balls and archery!

🛍️ Freeport A’Famosa Outlet

This open-air shopping outlet was a pleasant surprise! (alas ... the huge Coach Airways wasn't open when we were there). The place has a good selection of branded outlets offering discounts, along with cafes and snacks for quick bites. The architecture and ambiance give it a European-style village feel—great for a casual stroll and some shopping therapy.

🍽️ Food & People

Food was plentiful both inside the resort and at nearby eateries. From local Malaysian delights to familiar Indian comfort food, everything was delicious and reasonably priced. But what truly stood out was the hospitality. The staff were warm, helpful, and always smiling, making the whole experience feel welcoming and personal.

We were made to feel at home by the hospitality offered by Mr. Jugtar and Ms. Wan and their teams at the Clubhouse, and the folks who took us around in their shuttles! (Sometimes offered rides in a huge bus, just to make us comfortable and well cared for! )

⭐ Verdict: 5/5

A'Famosa Resort is ideal place for a family getaway. The variety of attractions, the serenity of the place, the friendly service, the shuttle rides and overall atmosphere continue to stay in your memory for a really long time! Kids will love it, and adults will appreciate the laid-back, all-in-one resort experience.

We truly wish we could hang out for a few days more, but our responsibilities made us head back home with so many good memories of the place. Looking forward to experience this...
