Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious 2-bed rooms and a family hall with a balcony. However, there was a noticeable cigarette smell that required opening the window to address. The service was exceptional with friendly and helpful staff, ensuring a clean and comfortable environment. The location, while not the best, was convenient for food options and close to the beach but far from Georgetown. The dining experience lacked variety, especially for non-Muslim guests, although there were some good options. Overall, the hotel is a good choice with notable positives and few drawbacks.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with good basic facilities and a nice view, situated near the beach. However, the room condition is quite basic and outdated, similar to budget hotels in the RM80-RM100 price range. The service, though not very helpful and somewhat slow, improved after requesting a room change. The location is described as a mix of pleasant and smelly, but overall great with a beautiful sea view, bar, and pool by the seaside. The dining options were limited with few choices, but the hotel provided many varieties for breakfast. Despite some shortcomings, the facilities are satisfactory, making this hotel a decent option for a stay.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were clean and pleasant with a balcony and complimentary buffet breakfast, there were some maintenance issues like water leakage. The service varied from being very polite to instances of rudeness. The location, although not super central, provided a nice view from the balcony and easy access to the beach. The dining experience ranged from satisfactory with a great sea view to lacking in quality. Overall, the hotel presents a decent value for money option with room for improvement in various aspects.
