“We'd Recommend It!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed in the Villa Effendi, which we really enjoyed. It was about 300 meters off the beach, meaning we had to walk to get to the beach whenever we went out. While this may be a nuisance for some (and we thought it would be), it made us feel like we had our own little apartment in a private area where we could retreat to. Also, we were given a substantial discout on the room, for no other reason than there were no other rooms available. Normally RM440 (147 USD) and we paid RM330 (110 USD).

Pros:
-The resort's location is great, it's easy to walk to any of the restaurants/shops.
-The provided breakfast was substantial and convenient, thought the quality left something to be desired.
-The rooms were very clean.
-High quality German beer.
-The owners/managers/front-desk clerks were superb. Very helpful and accommodating.

Cons:
-The wait staff was unfriendly and acted like we were bothering them whenever we asked for something.
-The mixed drinks were just okay. As a former bartender / restaurant manager, I expected better.

All in all, very deserving of 4 stars! Keep up the great work BGR!

“A relaxing few days..”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

We stayed in the villa, which is located 300m away from the main complex & had a lovely stay. The villa has 2 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and bathroom with a large patio area out the front. As another review states the kitchen isn't necessary as breakfast is included and there are no supermarkets local which sell food suitable for cooking. The breakfasts are big, with loads of fresh bread, fresh fruit, ham & cheese and choice of fruit juice. The pool is small, but why would you need the pool when the whole ocean sits right on your door step! The beach is lovely and clean and looks amazing. The on site restaurant serves delicious food, with new chef specials everyday..a little on the more expensive side but well worth the extra! Would definitely return!

“Kind of seedy, and cigarette smoke every time you eat”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

Yes, the location on the beach is great -- who doesn't love being able to walk barefoot from their room to the ocean?

And yes, the restaurant has good food (the included breakfasts are wonderful). But the restaurant is also a smokers' haven, and not a single bit of it is nonsmoking. Every time we ate there, we were assaulted by smoke. It was awful. Seriously, where do all these smokers come from? I haven't seen anything like it in decades.

The rooms are clean but run down -- lumpy pillows, bathrooms with chipped tiles. And every time you take a shower the bathroom floor puddles.

There is wifi in the rooms, but the office (also smoky) will not print your boarding passes. I was sent to an internet cafe down the street, but their printer was out of ink.

If it weren't on the beach, this would be a $20/night hotel.

“Sand between your toes, sunsets devine, magnificent views, a slice of heaven”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

people found this review helpful

The staff were fabulous! The food was excellent - prices of food and alcohol were fabulous also. The rooms were clean and well serviced. Unlike so many other places we have stayed at, we got such a wonderful feeling of NOT being squeezed for every possible penny, infact, it was quite the opposite.

The rooms met our needs, although not plush at all. The bathrooms let the rooms down somewhat, but were clean.

The resort in general is basic, but basic with all the necessities to make a wonderful family or other holiday.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner on the beach! Sand between your toes, sunsets devine, magnificent views, truly a slice of heaven.

These people have got the balance right of price and delivery. Highly recommended for those happy with an excellent 3 star experience.

We had a superb time and should we go back to Langkawi, we will stay here again.

“Great location & excellent value for money!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

We stayed here for 4 nights in the beginning of December 2011. The rooms had plenty of space, we stayed in a family room for 4 of us and we didnt feel cramped at all. The restaurant was very nice, right on the beach with reasonable food/drink prices, as well as an amazing view.

The breakfast was not a buffet breakfast but we certainly never went hungry. You get served a plate of fruit and then a choice of a breakfast from their menu. So it is typical things like Continental Breakfast, American Breakfast etc, but they also had a couple of Malaysian dishes like Nasi Lemak and Roti Cenai. The hotel is at the end of Cenang beach but it is only a short walk to restaurants/markets and so on.

Overall the service was more than what we expected for a hotel in this price range. We all loved the fact that we got to live practically on the beach and the hotel is full of character.
