The hotel offers a decent stay with a prime location right on the beach, making it perfect for those who love the sandy shores. The rooms were basic but clean, and the prices are incredibly affordable, allowing you to enjoy great food and drinks nearby. However, the overall condition of the hotel could use updating, and some amenities were lacking, which made it feel a bit rough around the edges.

This hotel is all about location, being right next to the beach and close to a variety of eateries in Pantai Cenang. The spacious and clean rooms were a plus, but they felt very basic and could use some more amenities. The shared facilities like the pool with water slides are enjoyable, especially for kids. However, it was disappointing to pay for beach chairs despite being a hotel guest and the lack of basic items like beach towels. Overall, it's a decent option for a budget-friendly beach getaway.

I had mixed feelings during my stay. The beach view from my room was absolutely stunning and the location couldn't be better, right in the heart of Pentai Cenang. However, the noise level was a downside, as I struggled to get a good night's sleep due to late-night parties on the beach. The hotel also didn't offer breakfast, but there were plenty of dining options nearby. Overall, the view and location were highlights, but the noise and lack of breakfast options made it a bit disappointing.

The hotel is perfectly located right on Pantai Cenang, which is bustling with activity. I enjoyed the stunning views from my room and the nearby restaurants, making it a good bargain for the price. However, the service could definitely use some improvements as it had some inconveniences, especially with the communication and facilities.

The service had its pros and cons. While the wifi worked well, I found it inconvenient to have to visit the reception for any issues since there were no direct lines in the room. It could be smoother overall.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, I loved the breathtaking beach views, and the location was perfect for accessing all the nearby shops and restaurants. However, the rooms felt outdated and in dire need of refurbishment. The parking situation was quite inconvenient, and the service left much to be desired, which overall made my stay less enjoyable than I had hoped.

Rooms

While the beach access was excellent, the overall facilities are in need of a serious upgrade. The pool was not inviting, likely due to ongoing maintenance.
