Incredibly bad. one star is too much! 3 days without Internet connection, even in the lobby area. Each day, the same front desk lady receptionist says they have "called someone to fix it." What kind of a supposed "resort" cannot have or maintain an Internet connection? They just don't seem to care about their guests and lie to cover up... More

We spent 4 nights at the hotel and really enjoyed it. We had large comfortable and clean rooms with a sea view. We enjoyed the breakfasts we liked the egg bar where they cook your eggs to order. The pool area is pretty and the pool itself lovely, but for the size of hotel you would probably struggle to get... More

We were booked into this hotel for one night only by a friend who thought that it does not matter as it is only one night for a business meeting. If you want a beach hotel which is affordable then this is an OK hotel. If you are looking for something that is better equipped with 4 or 5 star... More

First place we stayed in for our first malaysia holiday in march-april 2012. Staff recommended us Rapidpass as an alternative. They were friendly and helpful, we purchased 7 day Rapidpass (RM30) unlimited bus travel. It was handy and cheap travel as buses dont give change. Buffet breakfast had a lot of malaysian dishes so we were able to experience malaysian/penang... More

The room is large and clean. The room has a balcony with table and chairs looking out to the beach. Breakfast is more of the local food and they are tasty. Some of the staffs are friendly except for the reception desk, they seems to be sulking. The hotel is conveniently located. Will return to stay when in Penang.
