"Thanks to the frontline staff: Cinthya. Ramadhan & Ryan (buggy team), and Sahrul (front desk via WA) your service was truly the saving grace of this stay. The maintenance team also responded promptly to some minor issues.
We appreciated the upgrade to a 2-bedroom hilltop villa with a serene view. Breakfast was a highlight: roti jala was tasty, fish noodle soup flavorful, salad and cold cuts were a nice touch, and the jamu shots were a great bonus.
For the premium price Montigo charges, the villa’s facilities don’t match. Many parts are worn out, and basic items like a microwave or simple utensils are missing, issues that have been raised by other guests before, yet management doesn’t seem to act.
One incident on 30 August at breakfast also needs attention: at the fish noodle counter, there was no queue. After the lady in front of me got her two bowls, I asked the younger male staff with glasses for one bowl ('mie nya satu') and pointed at the bowl and showing 1, as there was 2 bowls of noodles were already prepared and just needed soup poured in. Instead, he looked at me, took a plate of food, and literally walked away mid-service, while I was waiting and the older regular staff was busy preparing mie goreng. Thinking he’d return or serve another customer, but he disappeared into the kitchen. I stood there, waiting to be served. I sympathize the older regular guy preparing the mie goreng as he had to multi task and serve me, instead of the younger guy helping his colleague and also serving me. It was a fast one but yet the younger guy rather leave customer waiting and he disappeared straight to the kitchen with a plate. (I wonder if it’s for him or for kitchen staff?) This may seem small, but it leaves a bad impression on guests. I strongly urge management to review this specific incident and coach that staff, so it does not happen again, unfortunately i didn't see his name, he was wearing black thick rimmed glasses.
In short, Montigo resort has genuinely great frontline/service staff who try their best, but upper management needs to step up: refresh the villas, provide basic amenities, and ensure service quality and building maintenance match the “luxury” price tag. As it stands, overall feels overpriced for what is delivered."
