Probably this resort was top class in colonial days, but now it’s passed its best. The plus points: the surrounding wooded area provides a peaceful ambience, with hornbill and drongo birds, the occasional monitor lizard and monkeys. The resort has pleasant grounds to walk around. The main reason I chose this hotel was its nice swimming pool (1.4m depth). However, on arrival they informed us that it is open to the public from Thursday to Sunday. In reality, the public came whenever they wanted as there is often no guard. Evidently, the local boys love the pool for jumping and diving. Weekends at the pool are like circus training.
The management and housekeeping are quite laid-back, but do respond well to requests or complaints.
The WiFi can be rather weak. Breakfast is a quite generous buffet but basic, although they did order yoghurt especially for us.
The room are in bungalows, with an extra living rom in between two double sized bedrooms. We booked an ‘Executive Suite’ of 83 m which included 1 double bedroom and the living room. The rooms have a fridge and an iron with ironing board.
Despite the resort being a bit old and in need of modernisation, I would still consider to rebook as we liked the quieter area away from the main tourist areas of Cenang and Kuha.More
