Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and spacious, with excellent cleanliness and very friendly staff. The location was ideal, near the beach and still convenient for town visits.
The hotel has a lovely location halfway between Georgetown and Batu Ferringhi, making it convenient to explore. The rooms, while mostly fine, could use a friendlier touch. The service was extremely pleasant and helpful, truly making our stay enjoyable. The dining options, although nice, could offer more variety. Overall, a good choice for a stay with some minor areas to improve.
I truly enjoyed my stay at the hotel! The room was one of the best I've seen, although there was a minor air conditioning issue. The proximity to the beach was fantastic, but the view from the room was not ideal. The service was friendly, with some staff more knowledgeable than others. The dining experience was good, but more variety would have been appreciated. Overall, a great hotel with a few small drawbacks.
The hotel is located just on the sea shore, offering a nice and well-shaded environment. The service, especially from Thaz, made me feel at home, but there were unprofessional behaviors at the Front Desk.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very nice with a sea view from the first floor, but there was a noticeable smell of cigarette smoke. The service, especially from Thevindass at the reception counter, was helpful but had some hiccups during reservation and check-in. The location was ideal for exploring Gurney and Georgetown, although returning late at night could be inconvenient. The dining was good but a bit expensive during peak hours, and the communal dining experience was a bit chaotic. Overall, a decent choice for the value.
