    “A very nice hotel.”

    A really nice hotel, the room is very spacious, with a balcony that opens up to a beautiful beach. The breakfast is very rich, the restaurant is clean, and the staff are service-oriented. To start with the drawbacks, the water from the bathroom heater is very low, making it quite difficult to shower. There are also relatively few parking spaces, but overall, I am very satisfied and it is worth staying.

    “Berbaloi dengan harga”

    Tempat best. Bilik besar dan bersih. Breakfast buffet banyak pilihan walaupun dah nak pukul 10am. Kolam bersih. Pantai bersih. Cuma balkoni nampak tak berapa selamat sebab kayu2 nampak reput. Iron kena minta receptionist. Lobi bau hotel lama. Lif bau kepam sikit. So boleh improve untuk bau2an itu.. overall okay berbaloi sgt dengan harga. Will repeat..
