What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious Sea View Room

We were given a beautiful sea view room that was spacious and had stunning views. It was a delight to wake up and look out at the ocean every morning. The room was comfortable, making our stay quite enjoyable.

Barbecue Dinner Delight

One of the highlights of our stay was the barbecue dinner experience. The food was excellent and should not be missed. Despite a bit of a wait due to high demand, it was worth every minute awaiting those delicious grilled dishes.

Convenient Snorkeling Trips

The resort included two snorkeling trips in our package, which were an absolute delight! Exploring the underwater beauty just off the beach was such a nice experience. They also had a dive center for those interested in more adventures.

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. However, the overall experience was marred by several issues, including quite outdated and messy rooms, inflexible check-in policies, and disappointing dining options. While the location is superb, I found the price to be quite high for the quality of the stay.
