The room was spacious, clean and comfy! They even upgraded us to Premier Cliff Bay Suite room. I requested for an anniversary bed arrangement and that too, was awesome! They gave us cute anniversary cake as a bonus. Definitely will come again after the monsoon. Thanks Taaras.

The beach was clean and pristine. The hotel has a variety of sporting activities you can sign up for and you can also take part in baby turtle release. The hotel staff are friendly. Hotel breakfast buffet is so so. The only downside is the beach has lots of sandflies, two weeks after our return the sandflies bites still itches. Indeed the use of insect repellent is necessary. The hotel does provide repellent near the beach. We stayed in the two-bedroom hillview deluxe room. The room was spacious for my family consisting of two adults and two children. The room does come across as dated and needs some renovation. Some parts of the room (e.g the bathroom countertops) was also not well cleaned so housekeeping needs improvement.

The hotel is in need of a renovation. The first day we stayed we got food poisoning, there are no other dining options that looked enticing nearby so we were forced to eat all our meals at the hotel and it is the worst food I have eaten on this trip. The towels are old and rough, everything is dated and although the team are nice, it cannot make up for the experience. The kids room is dark and dingy, the table tennis rackets etc are falling apart, the hand soap dispensers are broken etc etc

There's just so much good things about Taaras to be told that I don't think I can say everything here. Let me start by saying the staff are all very (I can't find a word for it)...they just make you feel like they've known you for so long like a long lost friend. Their attentiveness, always ready to help you with everything, their smiles, their friendliness. It's as if you're that one special guest that they've been waiting for so long. Kudos to the management for instilling that beautiful attitude throughout the entire team. Thank you Amira for helping me out with the booking and all. Special mentioning of Azimah for making my wife's birthday celebration a memorable one. Thank you Daniel and Suhaili for being so helpful and attentive through out the celebration. Thank you all. The beach, the sand, the wave. Just out of this world. My family and I come from the West Coast of Peninsula Malaysia and we know we've just spoiled ourselves as after this, we might be unfairly comparing the beaches here and in Redang. We went for snorkeling too among some of the activities. First timers as we are, it's a lie if I say we were not nervous no matter how excited we were. But the moment you look down at the corals and the busy schools of fish, you will be mesmerized by them that you'll easily lose that sense of time. Needless to say my family and I will definitely come back here, Insya Allah
