Mutiara Beach Resort is going into a period of refurbishment in March 2006 and when it reopens, it will undoubtedly be even more spectacular. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for its service, pool facilities, room layout and views. The foyer and reception areas are very grandly decorated in marble and mother of pearl. Presumably the best of that design will be retained and the main focus for update will be on the slightly tired suites which are starting to show their age. The facility provides a turn down service at your designated time, welcomes you with refreshing drink and cool towels and honeymooners are treated to flower petal decorated beds. The usual water sports are offered as well as parasailing. The hotel is 4 kilometres from central Batu Ferringi but this isn't necessarily a disadvantage. The beach is uncrowded and the hotel is 50 metres from bus stop, a couple of shops, and a great open air "live seafood" restaurant. Mutiara also overlooks a charming fishing village and Hindu temple. When you want to go to the night markets, add your name to the courtesy bus list. Cabs to Georgetown cost 25rm and cabs to Batu Ferringi cost 10rm. The hotel is well serviced with bars, a lounge, live entertainment and delightful choices in restaurants. The pool has a swim up bar, but drinks are pricey. Cocktails average 35 rm and beer costs about 16 rm. There is a "happy hour" each day from 5-7 pm at the pool. Look out for the fabulous pink legged storks in the garden.

180 degree ocean and swimming pool views are definately a star attraction with each of the rooms in this marble foyered plush eighties style 5 star resort. The views are panoramic and all rooms appear to have them. The concave high rise design faces out to the beach and the sea. Each suite has a private balcony adorned with mature bouganvillea. The plants provides an effective softening to what would otherwise be a relatively harsh concrete facade. I can only comment on the way the hotel presented just prior to the renovation and I would like to say that the staff were exceptionally caring, welcoming and ready to meet reasonable requests. As an example, I found on check in that there were a couple of minor faults with the room and these were fixed promptly after reporting. A broken toilet seat and loose wall phone were replaced by the engineers on request. The staff did not appear to be slipping with the standards simply because a refurbishment was due. I should also comment that the facilities for children appear to be of a high standard. They have a separate pool and well stocked kids club.
