I went there for a buffet dinner with my family and friends. We booked under eat-all-you-can Penang Specialities buffet dinner due to their attractive promotions (buy 1 free 1). Guess what? It was not up to standard. Staffs were amazing and service was top notch. However the food was terrible and honestly one of worst hotel food I’ve ever tasted. Savoury and main courses were salty to the point where we couldn’t bare to have second bite. Desserts were too sweet. None of the food served were well-balanced and tasty. This is our first time having buffet here and we think this might be the last too!

The children pool is the best. Kids definitely love it. There's lifeguard as well. We also had char kuew teow & fried chicken by the pool, it was tasty. The beach is just a walk away, which is a plus point.

I took the deluxe room facing pool... upon checking in floor is dusty and bed as well... Next the bed frame dust is as thick as a layer cake. I have a picture but cant upload as tripadvisor only allow 5mb pic. I won't rate it 5star but only 3 star... room is really not well maintained.
