The apartments are next to the beach which is very convenient. The pools are good and there are also water slides for the kids. My 1 room studio apartment was quite small but it was OK. However, the room was locked (can not be used) and the bed was placed in the living. The management should replace the bath towels with new ones.

As a quiet place, pretty nice to stay but have to top up at RM 300 at hotel check in time in order to get 2 rooms at one place otherwise have to share with others according to the front desk person said. I was charged RM 30 at check out time for the towel for being dirty with sand when used at beach. Luckily , did not need to pay for the stain of bed sheet which was definitely not done by us as the stain spot area is under the mattress and who would notice that other than the house keeping employee but claimed from us. Absolutely disappointed.
