Just okay, could be much better with some efforts
Location and view is amazing, but the rooms and the property in general really needs to be renovated and beautified; it has so much potential due to the location and view, it’s disappointing when you get there and you see the state of the motel and the rooms In addition I don’t think it’s fair to offer an “upgrade” to get the room that I have already paid for instead of a bad one

The staff that dreams are made of
What made this place special was the front office staff: they genuinely cared about my welfare. I was sick, and they brought me food to help me get better. I was glad to be able to extend my stay.

Good place but need improvement.
Stayed in standard room for 4D3N in Nov 2017. 1. The terrace room was quite new and spacious for its price. (RM79/night). 2. The free in-room wifi didn't work most of the time. 3. Bath water heater didn't work well. Only slightly lukewarm water at max setting. Water pressure was good. 4. No room cleaning service during the whole 4D3N stay. 5. This place is sea-fronted but no "beach". 6. Swimming pool is small size but clean. 7. This place is quite spacious. Not crammed like places at Cenang Beach. I am able to park my car near my room. Plenty of parking space.

It feels so hot at nights since the air condition didnt work in my room. But still, it was one of my greatest experience. Worth my money (80/night) for 3 nights.

Good location hotel and nice to stay.
I booked the hotel with 2 king size bed but only get 1 king & 1 queen size bed, checked with them they said all the room sold out already. Hotel did not inform that I can get the drinking water near the housekeeping area, I only realized on the last night stay. I had spend a lot of time and some $ to buy the drinking water. Room service request need to follow up. One think need to highlight is the cupboard in the room is very light, easy to move. It was fall downed when my daughter opened the whole drawer at the bottom part. Is a bit dangerous for small kid.

Nice motel by the sea
The hotel is just on the sea next to the beautiful Fish Farm Restaurant. Rooms are comfortable and not expensive. It is a bit far from the shops and restaurants but suits if you are looking for a peaceful place. The hotel has no restaurant but the Fish Farm is right next and there is a local restaurant about 200 meters away if you are looking for inexpensive food. The reception opens only after 9 AM and that is a problem if you have to book a tour the same morning or leave before 9.

Séjour mitigé dans cet hôtel de gamme moyenne
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room has a large bed with a quality mattress, abundant hot water with a high flow, coffee offered every day with two glasses of water. There is a nice view of the lagoon with a small perch village in the middle of the sea and some boats anchored next door. The bad points of this hotel: I stayed 7 days in this one near the pool in the overwater part. A very strong smell of tidal enough disgusting impregnated my room at low tide. The air condition broke down every day and I stayed two days in this one. I had only 6 hours of wifi on 7 days which forced me to check my computer at the reception of the hotel. Sometimes very noisy children bathed while dressed in the pool which is not very hygienic for customers who bathe in a swimsuit. Lots of cigarette butts around the pool near the tables and chairs. No TV channel was working properly. The city is about 3/4 kilometers from the hotel. It is therefore better to motorize to get to the restaurant. Despite all these inconvients I like this hotel and this city very nice and clean.

En seng at sove i og ikke meget andet.
Helt ok værelse med AC og køleskab. Pool ok, men lå på en parkeringsplads og var uden liggestole eller nogen form for skygge, så var i realiteten ikke brugbar. Der var heller ingen brugbar strand. Værst af alt var at man ikke kunne få mad på stedet eller i miles afstand. Man skal derfor leje bil, hvis man vil bo der.

海の上のコテージ
僕が泊まった部屋は、海の上の部屋でした。バルコニーからは、海が真下に見え、波の音が聞こえる、見える。 場所は、クアのはじっこなので、バイクか、車を着いたら、ホテルに頼んだほうがいいです！ 僕的には、快適に過ごせるホテルでした！ 日本語も、少し話せるスタッフいます！

網戸が欲しかったです（笑）
1/30〜2/5まで妻と5歳の子供と宿泊しました。スタッフの感じもよく、レンタカーの手配や、最終日のタクシーの手配も迅速に行われ快適、ただ部屋の窓に暗いフィルムが貼られてるため、ドアを開けるか、窓を開けるかしなければ南の島のお日様が部屋にはいってきません。しかし網戸がないのでドアや窓を開けると蚊がはいってくるので、ちょっとストレスですね。我が家は東南アジアトリップに慣れてるため、ワンプッシュ蚊取りスプレーを持参しドアを開ける前や寝る前にワンプッシュしてました。そのお陰か蚊には刺されずです。あと5:30にはナシードが聴こえて異国情緒たっぷりの宿だと思います。 お湯もちゃんとでます（笑）

Helt okej för det priset
Vi bodde här två nätter och poolen är helt okej för en förmiddag men annars är läget ganska dåligt, långt ifrån restauranger och centrum. Man behöver ha bil eller moped för att ta sig runt. 30 min till Cenang beach 35RM enkel väg. Vi hyrde moped en dag för 35RM och körde norrut till Tanjung Rhu Beach som va väldigt fin och ödslig. Fiskrestaurangen brevis hotellet var toppen!
