Stunning views from balcony with sunsets Dolphins airforce fly pasts and large white belled fish eagles carrying fish to their nests flying right past our balcony on 8th floor
Was very quiet when we stayed. Pool is nice. Breakfast was the same for 2 days then the it was changed on the 3rd day we only stayed z3 days. There is an egg station and soup station. Western and Malaysian is served. Bed was a little hard to my liking. Room was big. Best thing was the shower had hot water and lots of pressure. No smoking at the pool is a bonus. Walking distance to a few restaurants and the Tuesday night market. Make sure you walk to the Clay Pot Restaurant so good and reasonably priced. Took the local bus to the butterfly sanctuary 4 rim so cheap. The area is very quiet so might not suit everyone. Georgetown had more to do.
The hotel has a 3 bedroom apartment with 3 bathrooms which is a rare find. The apartment is tastefully decorated and has an amazing view of the ocean. Whilst it has a dining table for 6, there is no kitchenette except for a bar fridge & tea/coffee and kettle in the master bedroom.
Downside is that it gets quite noisy at night from the beach bar next door. In addition, the breakfast buffet spread isn't great in terms of choice and taste. Also worth noting that the spa has been closed for years.
The only attraction is the pool but too many kids playing in the pool during weekends making it impossible to swim laps. Also too many people in the cafeteria during breakfast and services [food refill] are slow.
1) Very limited parking.
2) Breakfast - very lousy, food not refilled and staff is very slow and not friendly. Staff needs training.
3) Charge me rm5/bottle when i requested water for my room.
4) Lift service is very slow. very long wait.
Overall comment, a lot of improvement needed especially for the staff.
I can’t recommend this facility too highly, I am a frequent traveller and expect to be taken care of when I pay. Everything I requested was supplied without delay. Pretty close to 10 out of 10. Oh, the bed was amazing. Thanks Flamingo I will be back.
Seaview rooms makes it a worthwhile stay and a beach front that’s attached to the hotel is a game changer. Near to local food offerings thus not having to go to town for meals makes for a relaxing vacation.
Pool is sizeable though it's cleaning hours from 11 to 12pm was annoying but understandable due to fully clothed families using the pool thus cleaning up is necessary for other serious swimmers.
Special note to reception staff who gave impeccable service, especially the hotel Duty Manager Amirul.
Worth a repeat visit.
Hotel has extremely helpful, friendly staff especially its reception personnel. Of worthy mention would be the Duty Manager Amirul.
Room with seaview and a beachfront are invaluable assets of this hotel too.
Hotel was extremely dated and not kept clean at all. From ants to cigarette butts in the sink to grime and mold on the shower and hairdryer it was incredibly unpleasant. Also the spa has been closed for 2 years but the site said "spa". Breakfast buffet was inedible , room service food was terrible. There are better hotels nearby for similar prices
The property itself looks good on the outside, but inside was clearly way out dated. The rooms smells of mildew and out dated air condition. It was not cold or it was noisy. The washrooms are old and has tiny ants everywhere, and they bite. This place needs a desperate renovation. I would not recommend this property.
