I chose this resort for its beautiful beach location, which truly did not disappoint. The views are stunning, but unfortunately, the overall experience fell short of my expectations. The rooms felt dated and were not as clean as I would have hoped, and the dining options left a lot to be desired. While I enjoyed the stunning surroundings, I can't overlook the significant need for renovations and improvements.

The resort has incredible potential with its beautiful private beach and spacious grounds, but unfortunately, the maintenance and management leave much to be desired. My room was cabin-style and modern, but it wasn't clean despite daily housekeeping. The dining options were very basic and the food quality did not match the somewhat high price of the stay. All in all, I had a decent experience, but there is significant room for improvement.

The resort is right near the best snorkeling beach in Perhentian, which is fantastic, but you need to take a sea taxi to reach other islands for nightlife.

I had a wonderful stay in a beach front villa that offered stunning views and great snorkeling opportunities. The welcome was warm, and the check-in process was seamless. However, the dining experience was quite disappointing with limited variety in food, and I encountered some issues with the restroom facilities. Overall, the location is fantastic, but some improvements are needed in dining and restrooms.

The highlight of this hotel is definitely the beautiful beach, which is stunning and great for snorkeling.
