Great location - in tune with nature.

Me, my husband and my parents had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Upon arrivals, at our delights, we discovered that we were upgraded to premier rooms. This made the waiting for our room to be ready worthwhile. My mother has difficulty walking long distances and the buggy was always at the ready to take her to the room. The staff were always ready to help and the breakfast buffet was amazing! Definitely will return in the future. The rooms, however, could do with some minor touch ups (chipped wood etc.), but nothing major.

The Cenang town centre is only around 5 minutes taxi ride away (approx 6RM). There is endless choice of food (including life seafood) and ample of shopping opportunity there.

Perfect Ruby wedding getaway

Fantastic. Although some upgrade work was being carried out, this did not affect our enjoyment of the beautiful setting and the very friendly staff. Food is excellent and the atmosphere is very easy going. Saving up for next year.

Pleasant stay

The location was great, just at the top of the beach within walking distance of restaurants and shops. The rooms facing the water have great views and it is lovely to hear the water breaking on the shore. The room service is of a good standard. The only criticism is the gym is run down which is a disappointment if fitness is important.

Not bad but NOT a 4/5 star resort

Unfortunately this resort did not live up to expectations. The chalets are quite old/rickety and are in need of updating. The first room we were allocated had a cockroach nest in the bathroom roof (we could hear them running round at night!!) not to mention having to deal with them in the room and bathroom. The adults were 3 inches long complete with 1 inch juniors - not pleasant at all and they can really move fast! We saw one cockroach in one of the restaurants on the first night we were there. We were moved to a second room which was cleaner but a bat was hiding in the roof which began flying round at 11pm when we turned the lights out! There was also a dead cockroach hanging from one of the curtains. The third room we were moved to was clean and we had no problems there but we were always weary when entering it following our earlier experience. The gym is very old and needs a complete overhaul - machines from c1970. Dumbells are inadequate with the heaviest weight at 7kg. The mini golf is laughably poor. The food was not bad but was very pricey when compared to the rest of the locations we stayed at in Malaysia and when compared to the local restaurants. However the portions are very generous. The pool and beach were very good, clean and well maintained. The staff on the whole were very polite and friendly and the management were very helpful with our requests to move rooms. I think we were lucky there were other rooms available otherwise it would have been a lot more difficult in the circumstances. Given it is a beach resort you expect a level of insects etc but the chalets and the gym do need modernising which would really improve this place and help with the issues we had.

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

There are shops within a 5 minute walk of the resort and its best to buy water etc from there as the prices are a fifth of that charged in the resort. Best to dine at the local restaurants which are half price of the resort restarants and these are a 5/10 minute walk from the resort and you can walk there easily in the evening. Rasa restaurant is very good and has a good menu. Avoid the Taj Mahal restaurant where we did not have a memorable dining experience.
