Fun Family Activities

During my recent stay, I was thrilled to see a plethora of activities available for kids. The pool had a dedicated play area with water slides that kept the little ones entertained for hours. They also had a turtle conservation program where we could plant turtle eggs and release hatchlings! This was not only fun but educational for the children.

Delicious Beachside Bistro

I had a fantastic dining experience at the bistro by the beach. They served a delicious array of dishes that satisfied our appetites after long days at the pool and beach. Particularly, I loved their local specialties, which were authentic and flavorful. The atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed meal with family.

Great Fitness Options

I enjoyed the range of sports facilities available at the resort. They have a vast pool area and even tennis courts. I took advantage of the pool for my morning laps, and it was the largest pool I've seen in Terengganu. The environment was serene and perfect for workouts. It made my stay both relaxing and invigorating.

The hotel certainly has its charm and potential, but there are some noticeable areas for improvement. The rooms offer a spacious layout but feel a bit retro. The service was friendly at times, but there were instances of inefficiency, particularly at the reception. The dining provided decent options, while the location is quite good, especially with nearby amenities. Overall, while it might not be the best value for money, it does have a family-friendly vibe and a nice pool area.

I had a lovely family getaway at this hotel, with plenty of activities and a relaxing beach. The rooms were spacious and clean, making our stay enjoyable, although they could really use a refresh. The dining options were hit or miss, with breakfast needing improvement, but the BBQ dinner by the beach was a highlight. Overall, it was a memorable trip thanks to the engaging family-friendly activities like the turtle release, but the value for money might not be the best due to some service and dining shortcomings.

This hotel has some fun amenities like a large kids' pool and slides, making it a good choice for families. The breakfast options revolve around local cuisine, and visiting mid-year could offer a unique turtle hatch experience. However, I encountered issues with outdated rooms and a lack of honesty from the staff regarding upgrades. Overall, it seems a bit overpriced for the condition of the facilities.
