Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a wonderful and welcoming ambiance. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, but lacked thorough dusting and daily vacuuming. The service was mostly friendly and helpful, though some bar staff could improve. The location was beautiful, but a bit secluded. The dining experience offered delicious and varied options in a different area of the hotel. Overall, a great stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel has a nice location near the beach with beautiful views of the sea front. The rooms are comfortable but on the smaller side. The staff are friendly and accommodating, even offering a free room upgrade. The dining experience is good with quality Malaysian cuisine. The property is spacious with great walking paths and sunset views.
The hotel had rooms that seemed a little worn out but overall okay. The service was a mix of friendly and slightly unhelpful, and the location was convenient with accessible attractions. The dining options varied from excellent to just okay. The facilities were decent with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers nice views near the beach, but some room maintenance issues like falling shower heads and missing light bulbs. The service can be a bit cumbersome with payment arrangements required upfront. The location is convenient with beautiful surroundings, but swimming in the sea is not possible. The dining experience is satisfactory with varied menus, but limited options for small kids.
The hotel's location is great, near the airport and a shopping center, providing quick access to various spots. The rooms, unfortunately, were in need of renovation and weren't well-maintained. The service was lacking, with untrained staff members. The dining options were varied and enjoyable. The price seemed a bit high for the overall experience.
