This hotel is too old. We've stayed here many times, but this time the cleanliness was terrible. The service was okay, but the bathtub drain was severely clogged. We switched rooms, but the water still wasn't clean. We won't be staying here again. Very unpleasant experience.

Really loved the overall style of this hotel, it's perfect for families with kids. The staff were super friendly. Breakfast was quite busy, but they managed the crowds really well. The pool has different depths and there's a water slide and some play equipment – not a huge amount, but the kids absolutely loved it. They even thoughtfully put up a sunshade over the outdoor pool.

The facilities are a bit old, and there were no bathrobes in the room. The mosque next door had prayers every day, which was very noisy. Luckily, they switched my room. Breakfast was decent, but there weren't many food options nearby, and the taste was just average. However, there were a lot of durian vendors nearby, and it was delicious.

The breakfast buffet was truly amazing, with a great variety of options, and the timing was perfect, lasting until 11 AM. If you're heading to George Town, definitely book a taxi in advance. There's also a night market nearby, making food and drinks very convenient.

The room was spacious and quiet. The hotel has many swimming pools, which is convenient for different age groups. The breakfast selection was rich. Although the hotel is far from the city center, there are many dining options nearby. You can also enjoy beautiful sunsets by the hotel's beach.

Pros: The hotel service was excellent. Breakfast was plentiful, and we didn't experience any waiting even during peak hours. The pool water was very clean, and the kids' pool had a sunshade. The lounge area was also very nice. There are many food courts around the hotel, so finding food was never an issue. Cons: There's a mosque right below the hotel, and the prayers started before 6 AM every morning, which was extremely loud and disturbed our sleep. If you're staying here, I recommend avoiding rooms on the roadside. The hotel beach isn't accessible directly; if you want to go to the beach, you'll need to walk to the neighboring Shangri-La or exit the hotel to a public beach, but it's not too far, about a 5-minute walk.

The front desk staff included Chinese speakers who were very warm and attentive. The room was spacious, allowing us to lie in bed and watch the sea. The swimming pool was a huge hit with the kids; they could play there from morning till night. At breakfast, we thought we saw a cockroach (it turned out to be a twig), and when we reported it to the hotel, they compensated us with a fruit platter. The facilities are indeed a bit dated, and the breakfast wasn't great. Also, definitely, definitely book a sea-facing room!

Absolutely terrible! The room facilities were old and in poor condition, the bathroom was moldy, and the toilet was outdated. The hotel service was also quite mediocre. The only redeeming quality was the swimming pool, which was decent. And finally, you can't access the beach directly from the hotel, which is a huge inconvenience! You have to walk about 5 minutes down the road to get to the beach. I would strongly advise everyone to avoid this hotel!
