Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were gorgeous, with big fluffy pillows and a huge bathroom, all very clean and spacious. The service was exceptional, from breakfast to housekeeping, with the manager Frank going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The location, though not as close to the beach as expected, offers a beautiful setting. The dining experience was awesome, offering a range of delicious Malaysian and western food. Overall, a great value for money with some minor room for improvement in the location proximity to the beach.
The hotel offers spacious and well-equipped rooms with a good selection at breakfast. However, some areas could use a touch-up in terms of paint and new cushions. The service is warm and attentive, with staff going above and beyond to cater to guests' needs. The location, reminiscent of top resorts in Langkawi, is beautiful but the beach is a bit farther from the rooms than expected. Dining provides a variety of local and western menu options, though some dishes are repeated. Overall, a pleasant stay with a value for money experience.
The hotel offers spacious suites decorated with care, perfect for families or couples. The floors can be a bit slippery, so watch your step. The service is top-notch, with staff who go above and beyond to cater to your likes and dislikes. The location, with its pristine beach and attentive staff, is a true gem. Dining is a delight with a varied selection, although some dishes may not meet expectations.
