We stayed at this hotel on the eve of the Chinese New Year, choosing a beach location near Kuala Lumpur.
Pros:
The best beach on the island (Coral Beach) is a couple of minutes walk. The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly. There is no special exotic atmosphere in the hotel, but it is cozy and quiet. The room is spacious with a balcony overlooking the pool. The equipment is a little tired, but the staff responds promptly. The sockets are UK, but you can get an adapter from reception. The contingent of guests is pleasant, mostly family and not noisy. There are many seafood cafes nearby, the food is delicious and inexpensive.
Flaws:
Breakfast is very poor and boring. There is a choice of 4 sets + salad bar. Although the location of the hotel is not bad, you will have to take a taxi to get to the exchange office and the pharmacy. The selection in nearby shops is poor. In duty free there is only chocolate. It is almost impossible to buy fruit, and those that are sold are absolutely tasteless.
Adviсe:
Do not book on weekends - crowds of locals. Monkeys come to the hotel, so nothing can be left unattended on the balcony or in the pool. If you like to drink, it’s better to take a bottle of wine, whiskey, etc. with you. You can't buy anything on the island except beer. The sea is warm and calm, but there are strong low tides that go far. Something is constantly biting in the water, either melusa larvae or plankton - we still don’t understand.
