Very clean. Really nice staff, always happy to help. Nice size room, with a good comfy bed . Decent, powerful shower. Fridge, safe, hairdryer, ironing board, etc . Plenty of sun loungers and towels. Decent breakfast and coffee.

First time being here and was impressed. First, the view from the lobby, just sitting there and watching the open sea. The interior seemed new and modern. There were 3 lifts going up to the rooms and quite fast. My room on the 9th floor with sea view and facing west. It's a combination of sea view and hill with greenery plus condominium and terrace houses, which was fine with me. When facing west, it'll be nice in the morning but you have to draw the curtain in the afternoon. The room had a terrace with a garden table and 5 chairs plus 2 lounge chairs. What I like about this terrace is that it's quite private. There's no adjacent balcony/terrace except above & below. Hence, we could have a nice private nasi kandar picnic on the terrace and watching sunset.. The living room had a comfortable 3 seater-sofa and 2 single seat sofa. In the bedroom, there's another single seat reclining sofa, very comfortable. For 3 pax, a single bed was provided in the living room. The best part of our stay was the breakfast. The breakfast spread was fantastic, and every day, part of the menu will be changed. The hotel is located near Miami Beach, just after Tanjung Bungah and before Batu Feringghi. It's quite a secluded area and not busy except the main road. Our stay was during non-peak season. Hence, I wouldn't know the situation during peak season. For example, the 5 storey car park was quite tight & small and charged RM3 per day. The swimming pool was very nice and clean but quite small. There's also a kid pool with water slides and a water bucket splashing water down. There's not much you could do beyond the hotel boundary, such as no shops and eateries, and to stroll on the beach. There is a bridge crossing the main road where you could access Miami beach, but personally, it was quite challenging. This hotel is best if you plan to stay within the hotel throughout your stay like us.

Beds linen was excellent, bed was comfortable Xmas day dinner was excellent
