Good place to rest after had a long week work. Im staying for 2days 1 night, love to upgrading bedroom to seaview. Really relaxing. Enjoying Ramadhan buffet with family. Buffet a bit dissapoint bcause not many choice. For the bedroom not clean very well. So many dust on the table and floor (got cockroach eggs too) its very dangerous for those have a baby. Your staff have to check cleanliness before guest
check in. And also no wifi coverage. Pls upgrade your hotel more better.

The breakfast was awful. I think the management needs to seriously improve in this area....
Housekeeping needs to improve..., Just some leftover rubbish in the balcony

Overall it is was good but the hotel house keeping should improve their efficiency.
e.g. They forgot to provide towel until we request. Secondly, we went in the room but the room was not ready. It was the miscommunication between the house keeping and front desk. And, the breakfast is really not so good. We hope hotel will improve it.

VERY BAD experience.

1. Came to check in with a congested lobby. Families with elderly, children and pregnant ladies unattended for 5HOURS, given no explanation or whatsover. All of the receptionist went missing and we were all left in a mystery. At this unprecedented time, the management definitely paid NO REGARDS to the SOP!

2. NO PROPER details of the actual waiting time and rooms available left people mad and bewildered! Children are now crying all over the place. People are screaming all over the place, restless.

3. After 5 HOURS, we learnt that NO QUARRELS, NO ROOM.

4. The rooms were all left uncleaned and that resulted in the delay. It makes no sense to have us wait 5 hours JUST TO CLEAN YOUR ROOMS that we have paid earlier! If you have no Manpower then, outsource. Communicate and explain nicely to customers.

5. Guess what, we had to check out at 12pm, despite checking in 5 hours later. Very unpleasant indeed. No refunds or any compensations made.

The room itself is good. The view from room is beautiful but we are mad with the management services. Despite the check in, the extra towel we request for have stain on one out of three. The slippers in the room is lacking of one for twin room. The breakfast choice is limited.

The hotel was nice and pretty. The rooms was cozy. Except that one of the rooms I booked didn't have a cooling air conditioning. It was just blowing air. One huge disappointment was breakfast. I booked rooms with breakfast, but me and my family couldn't have any.

I understand it was a peak period, Chinese New Year holiday, but what I do not understand was that the hotel did not prepare itself to handle the high influx of guests staying in the hotel. There were not enough tables, the utensils were no where to be seen, and to top it of, empty buffet sets. And this was when I came down from my room at 8am (breakfast was served at 7-11 am). My family and I had to go out of the hotel to get breakfast elsewhere.

But I do wanna give compliments when it's due. I'm grateful to the front office manager for being very accommodating, and polite, to all my requests during my stay.

Unfit for tourists and unfit for mobility impaired. The entire hotel has steps everywhere rendering it totally unfit for those who are mobility impaired. The location is very remote and local taxi wants to charge higher fare to take you here. You would know this is not meant for tourists when the reception asks for your car registration number. Saw a group of cross country bikers stay here and then was another wedding ceremony happening. Out of the only two restaurants in the area that happens to be in the hotel premises, one was closed for a private event and one was full of bikers. The restaurant menu states \"the pictures are representative and does not reflect the real dish\". The pizza looked good in menu but in reality was a toast covered in ketchup. The menu selection itself is cherry picked most greasy dishes from Malay/Indian/Western cuisine. Not a single vegetable in the menu. I am vegetarian and when asked for a vegetarian meal, the standard response was rice and salad.
The hotel actually has higher price on Expedia where as if you book with them directly or via a local Malay platform, is cheaper. I would not call this property a resort; event place, definitely. I paid with e-pay. After completing the e-pay successfully, the restaurant said, \"yes I understand the payment is completed, still we save guests credit card numbers for our personal records in our computers\". I said, \"No way Jose\"

Nice hotel next to great beach!

Stayed in 3 King Deluxe Rooms for 2 nights. The rooms were upgraded automatically by hotel. Hotel was next to a quiet beach (with a swing in the water) and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It has a rope climbing playground n a deep pool w slide. It also has a game room with billiard table and soccer table. Hotel room service was spontaneous to answer our request. Breakfast was alacarte for 1st morning and buffet for 2nd morning and both were good. My wife was sick due to warm weather and the staff were very helpful to find a nearby clinic late at night and drive us to seek consultation. Recommended for family vacation for rest and away from crowd. Only disadvantage is that it is located in a distance from amenities and eateries but no problem if driving.

Location approximately 20 km to Desaru/Bandar Penawar (all the busy tourist/beach area), and 10 km to Sungai Rengit (Nearest town, good seafood). In the middle of village area. Fronting sea.

Facilities and amenities is basic. Swimming pool and playground for kid.

Breakfast is spoil with choices. Superb. Management please keep your chef and his team.

Front office Manager are very friendly.

Overall, I'm satisfied with my stay and definitely will coming back.

Thank you Kamal for the great hospitality and the big help in settling our transport woes, and with Isyraff’s help- we managed to get on with our next destination:D truly appreciate the great help!

We’ve enjoyed our room and the facilities!:)

For improvements, we would be even happier if the breakfast could be more tasty/better quality (eg desserts and food served); and perhaps more can be done to prevent insects from straying into the coffee house. As a suggestion, should all the food be covered/protected?

Propety is at a good location and well maintained. However, despite not bring full, did not offer an ocean view room. There is a shortage of staff at breakfast. So, servuce is very poor, there is insufficient cutlery and cups and tables are left uncleared.

Hotel is relatively new, only about 7 months old so the amenities are new. Nice pool with a great view of the sea!
The room had a sea view and you can watch the sun rise from your room!
Great toilet! Very big and modern.

Floor was a little dusty in the room when we checked in. WiFi was very bad - wasn’t able to connect to internet, especially at night.
