"One word: amazing! Where do I start... Free and secure parking, which is great. Attentive staff in the hotel, the restaurant, spa and activity centre. Handy store downstairs, and very reasonably priced gift shops and tailor located within premises. Note: the convenience store only takes cash. Location: DIRECTLY on beach! Easy to find off main road. There is nothing between the hotel's café and the beach. You can eat on the beach if you wish. We ordered cocktails at the hotel's café and they bought them to us on the beach. (It's only a couple of metres from the hotel café). The room service is quick, tasty and reasonably priced. We were able to charge everything to our room and pay upon check out. This was great when we did the watersports -saved having to carry our wallets. The hotel has watersports available: jet ski hire 70RM/15 minutes per jet ski. You can take 2 people per ski. Parasailing 80RM per person. And rides for families and children such as banana boat etc. Hotel has a large pool, with a designated childrens area. Hotel spa is reasonably priced, and offers great service on lovely treatments using lovely products. Hotel room boasts amazing views if you're lucky enough to get a beach view room rather than a city view room. It's a shame it's not located where the other group of hotels are in Batu Feringhi further up the beach - where the street night markets and eateries are, but it's still an awesome stay. If you want to see the markets it's a 10 minute scenic drive along the coast. This is a hotel you could go to for a week and do absolutely nothing but relax with a book on the beach, or go and do the fun watersports at a cheap price. The one downfall: no wifi in room. Wifi is available in the lobby only. Check out the Tet-Tef vintage handmade bags on LL level. Starting at 65RM for a handmade original bag, they're a great souvenir from a wonderful weekend."

"Like I just said..this place was a surprise to us all.. I only book because I opted for the cheap promo price.. To be honest I was a bit skeptic as my previous trips were to renascence by Shanghai la Johor + double tree by Hilton Johor... I was afraid to what I might find.... and to our surprise we found a place that we didn’t want to leave!!!! Ok let me break it down to you.. The bell boy was the best staff there , the receptionists were not that impressive and my check in was not smooth .. but once I passed that stage I was delighted as I can smell freshness in the hallway in the room in the bed in everywhere!! No carpets for maximum cleanliness! The toilet was spotless ! With stunning sea views from every room and no extra charge on sea view as every room got sea view( I got 3) and good spacious space... Once you go in that bed it seems like you’re the first person to sleep there.. .. I think the Oh-so-clean beds and rooms were the highlight of our trip to Pinang...! Next morning after a delightful sleep you get a buffet breakfast and it was above my expectations! Not too big but it got everything an intercontinental hotel would have... various selections nicely decorated and yummy flavours +coffee machine and eggs station ... staff in garden restaurant were good also..not to mention the sea view around you.. The sea is right beneath the hotel..and it got own access also.. the beach was not super clean but nice enough for a long walk , shell collecting and beautiful photos.! Over all this was our top hotel... we long to be back there... my only concern is , since the hotel is relatively new it would be easier to maintain such cleanliness... but would it be able to maintain it on the long run???...I hope so.. Con: female receptionist should get better training ,, also their appearance could use some improvement as they should at least not show their tattoos if they wish to look professional ."

"We went to Penang for a short holiday and stayed at the hotel from 24th - 27th Dec. We booked a seaview family room and what we got was an excellent two bedroom apartment with a fantastic view. The room was modern and clean with complete amenities. Hotel staff was also polite, honest & friendly. The pool was facing the sea which was only a few steps away. The hotel could improve on the food choice for breakfast. Should have more choices of breads and local fares as we ate pretty much the same thing during our stay there. Parking space is also very limited but the helpful hotel staff directed us to the nearby foodcourt to park our cars. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the hotel very much and we would recommend this hotel to our friends & family. We would surely come again if we come back to Penang for another holiday. Yes, you are a 3-star hotel but you deserve 3 BIG STARS! "
