Great location, not in the middle of the chaotic Cenang area but close enough to be near food and shopping. Even the beach was not a problem as the hotel buggy ferries guests to the beach and it 's walking distance anyway. The rooms are spacious and clean, beds are very comfortable, and well equipped with good wifi signals. Breakfast is about one of the best experiences, from the excellent variety of food choices, to the fast service (for cleaning plates off the table) to speedy replenishment of the buffet spreads. Finally, the staff, from the front desk to the housekeeping, to the concierge, to the bartender and restaurant staff, all really wonderful, friendly, cheerful and helpful people. So, so impressed with the team there. Will certainly stay again!

Value for your money. Means what price you pay that you will get. From my opinion this hotel is not like 5 stars. But the location is very nice located near by the beach and a sourrounding with many shops and restaurants.

The facility in the room so far is so good, but the breakfast food is not much variant and late to reload sometimes. The worker is sometimes not friendly. Should be more friendly to everyone without seeing their purpose or their nationality. And one thing that I don't like from this hotel, this hotel very far from the attraction area.
