We spent a week there in February 2005 and then another few days in May 2005. It's halfway between Georgetown and the resorts of Batu Ferringhi. Bus is 1 ringgit to town . Night foodmarkets quite near.
This is multicultural Malaysia at its best! Locals stay here for their holidays and come for Chinese New Year feasts etc etc. The staff are Malays, Chinese and Indian. All very friendly. Nice rooms on the seaside have great views. A pleasant swimming pool overlooking the sea.
This hotel has had it's ground floor areas refurbished and is lovely but the upper floors are still in bad need of repair. The carpet in the hallways are old and worn out, the furniture in the rooms are old and need replacing. The hotel is one for the budget traveller. One shining light of the whole hotel is the 'on the beach' bar which serves drinks and limited nibble style food right on the beach and helps to make your stay here a relaxed and pleasant one. On that note the beach is clean and pleasant to sit and relax on.
