Advantages: Price, Location

Disadvantages: Poor Gym and Room Service dont collect your dishes

I stayed at this resort for 4 nights in September 09. The cost was £30 a night on expedia and ebookers (breakfast not included). At this price it was certainly a lot cheaper than most other resorts on the island while having the facilities of a resort (pool, spa, gym, beach etc.).

The rooms were well equipped and large but they looked rather old and could do with being done up and perhaps repainted, the bathroom itself was fine, nice and large and decent power shower but again the whole thing could have done with a lick of paint or have new tiles fitted. As such the room and bathroom lacked a certain moderness but other than that they were fine.

The downsides are that breakfast was not included and was charged at nearly £10 per person for buffet when a cafe opposite the road did a full fry up at a fraction of the cost. The room service was terrible in that they never came and took back the dishes. In one instance housekeeping came in the morning to clean the room and leave room service tray outside the door, and the same tray was left there all day and at night. Even when they brought more room service they just came dropped it off and did not take back the dirty tray outside the room, however a phonecall saw it removed swiftly. Also the gym was really bad, the running machines could not handle a body weight of 85 kilos and the bikes were all out of order.

I have previously reviewed the Berjaya resort in Tioman and in comparison this is just not of the same quality however it is a decent substitute at a fair price especially since it has nice resort grounds full of coconut trees and an even nicer stretch of beach than Berjaya Tioman.

Summary: Worth the Price
