“Well.....”

We did a last minute trip to Malaysia and this was pretty much the only place left. I'm in two minds how to review it as it has some great points and then some really, really not so great ones.

We did a last minute trip to Malaysia and this was pretty much the only place left. I'm in two minds how to review it as it has some great points and then some really, really not so great ones. Firstly location is a-maze-ing! If you have mobility issues probably best to find another resort but if you're gazelle like then this is a winner. The elevated position affords all the rooms to die for views, there is nothing like the view you wake up to (if you have a sea view room of course) it's magic. The proximity to the beach is great, you're close but not so close it's noisy. The staff are super friendly and helpful. It would be remiss of me not to comment on the rooms, they are pretty spartan. My boyfriend and I affectionately called it "the hovel". In our room there was a bed that looked like it had been pulled in off the street, rock hard lumpy pillows and filthy torn sheets. Think crack den you're somewhere close. I'd been given a small heads up on the towel situation so we did bring our own. The bathroom door doesn't go full height so make sure you have no qualms about the person you're sharing with. Also ice cold showers. BUT the balcony and the view. Would I stay again? Probably not but knowing what to expect I think I could bare it, I think it was hte shock of how drab the rooms were that did it for me more than anything. As I said not brilliant, not a place I would be rushing to recommend unless someone was traveling last minute and as dis-orngaised as we are. I'm incredibly forgiving and for me location is king, but I suppose ideally I'd have liked a nice room. But oh that view :) Semi thumbs up.

“Not bad”

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights with my family. The room type was sea view with A/C room. This hotel was between " The reef" and " Mama's ' and near " Coral view".

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights with my family. The room type was sea view with A/C room. This hotel was between " The reef" and " Mama's ' and near " Coral view". The beach, which was in front of this hotel, was not beautiful and was not suitable for swimming and snorkeling. If you want to go snorkeling, I recommend you that you visit another beach. Perhentian Island has some amazing beach which are suitable for snorkeling, swimming and relaxing. Before staying at here, I was afraid of it which cockroaches appear in our room. But I had never seen cockroach in my room. In addition our A/C worked fully. So I felt this hotel was not bad. I ate dinner at this hotel's restaurant every evening. Especially home made pizza became my daughter's favorite meal. I recommend this restaurant. If the rate of sea view room was 150RM(4person), I gave 4 stars to this hotel.
