💡 My Advice (Key points)
👉 If your budget allows:
✔️ It's worth staying (one of Ipoh's top 3 hotels)
👉 When booking, pay attention to:
• ❗ Avoid windowless rooms
• ❗ Choose a higher floor
• ❗ You can skip breakfast (Ipoh has better food outside)
Have a wonder stay in this hotel. The location is good and near to one of the famous seafood restaurants. The manager (Steven) is very friendly and helpful, We will for sure stay back this hotel for our next trip in Teluk Intan.
The hotel's location is super convenient for getting around. It's clean, and the interior design is really artistic. They've even got a coffee machine and a hot water dispenser, which is a nice touch. The service was warm and polite. Our family of three booked two king-size beds and we were all very happy with our stay. 👍 We'll definitely stay here again on our next trip and recommend it to our friends and family too! 😊
The property is run under Tui Blue and operates like a hotel. Very clean so that is a plus for us. The living area is just nice and balcony offers good view of mountains and the housing estates of Ipoh Garden, Bercham. Breakfast was a no fuss affair and efficient. Walk around the property is surprisingly calming. Only problem I had was the hot water in the shower. The knob can be burning hot since it is not premixed. Free drinks in the fridge definitely a nice touch though.
great hospitality.. really worth the price paid. We stayed in Water Villa which we both really enjoyed the pool and hot jacuzzi in the villa. Our arrival was greeted with complimentary anniversary cake setup in the room, and we really appreciate this gesture from the hotel. We will definitely come back in the futur
The hotel located at the busy road area but the moment you enter the hotel it feels like you're entering the whole new world. The chill ambient, cozy and warm atmosphere occupied the whole parameters. Staff are superb especially the front desk - Kaushilliya. The room offers generous amount of amenities and you won't miss out the excitement. The cons i noticed is just that the gym were close. Kudos to the hotel management and surely will back here on the very next trip to Ipoh.
The parking is on the sixth floor, and you can get free validated parking by showing your ticket at the front desk when you enter or exit. The location is excellent; you can walk to Taiping Lake and the night market. Directly opposite the hotel is a hawker center, making it very convenient for food, drinks, and entertainment. The hotel breakfast is fantastic; the food, desserts, and fruits were different on both days. We stayed for 2 nights, and on the second morning, which was the first day of Eid al-Fitr, they prepared authentic Malay dishes like ketupat, lontong, and lemang. The curries weren't spicy, so even those who don't like spicy food could enjoy them. The staff were efficient, quick to refill food, and prompt in clearing dishes.
The only minor drawbacks were that the check-in process was a bit slow, there were some white spots on the room floor, and the refrigerator wasn't very clean.
It was an alright stay. Bathroom is really spacious, bedroom is weirdly shaped due to being a corner unit but acceptable. Basic bathroom amenities are there, limited TV channels. Lift and the entire of 2nd floor and room did smell of cigarettes when I checked in, and it was a bit off putting. I try not to look too much into the details such as peeling wallpapers and A/C that doesn't work as regularly as it should (sometimes cold, most of the time just OK despite no changes in the temperature settings).
Location was superb. It's a short drive to pretty much everywhere I need to access during my business trip, so that's a plus. For it's price, I can't complain much. But if I'm particular, topping up a little bit more could get me a more recently renovated hotel (C***tel) with equally accessible location.
Service is good, our requests for room services is quickly attended. Facilities are all well maintained. Kids had fun by the beach and also the pools. We visit to damai laut for many years continuously. we felt there is significantly lesser of flies now. The only less satisfaction would be the cookies size has become a lot smaller, and there is reno going on at Makan restaurant sun deck. My favourite spot for breakfast was the sun deck. Hope can done reno soon.
Cannot remember how many times we have repeat this hotel when going to Lumut. Location is strategic..breakfast got so many choices and delicious..view from our room also great..staff are also polite ang friendly..surely will repeat if we manage to come here again.
Very Good

GGuest UserMarina Island Boat transfer easy, although I feel a little expensive. Coffee was cold, they had wrong check in information and I almost tripped on uneven block surface exiting building to boat. Check in completed at reception , with correction to booking. We were in a lower tropical garden villa, which is cheapest room. We were lucky to have part sea view and part back of pool view. Other lower villas in this category, not so good a view. This said, room was gorgeous, despite dead moth in sunken bath area. All the staff were fantastic and helpful. Chatted to some people in over water villas, who were disappointed you could not swim in sea from villa, nor enter sea from beach around jetty , due to sea urchins. On the other side of the Island is Emerrald bay. Absolutely stunning! Beautiful beach and sea to swim in. Lots of space for sun beds, but everyday ran out by 11am! Suggest they get some more! Forfeited scrumptious in all restaurants.

GGuest UserBooked a room here to stay close to family in the area, and it was exactly what I needed. It’s a straightforward hotel with all the essential amenities. The room was clean, the room service was prompt, and the reception team was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Great choice if you’re looking for a hassle-free, ”basics done right” experience.
