Adequate and well furnished hotel room. Amazing hotel for my kids for its huge swimming pool fitted with water slides, jacuzzi, water sports etc. Also giant chess board, pool tanle, ping pong. My kids were excited about ATV rides but they only allow 17yrs old abve. That was frustrating akthough it was fo safety reason. We rent bikes and we... More

Staying on and off at this hotel over a duration of 3 months for work. The hotel rooms are average, rooms on the lower floors are better and also have a nice view of the beach. Hotel room and facilities seems a little dated and need upgrading. However, you can hear the sound of the waves from your room which... More

During my say over the weekends I find this place rather relaxing. The settings of the resort was filled with wood and plants with traditional and cultural design in the lobby. The best thing is there's a private beach. I stayed at level 5 and rhe rooms were clean and well kept with new tiles and bath room. Considering this... More

Stayed 5 nights as a business traveler this time, so could not make use of the resort facilities. Excellent beach front, swimming pools and play areas for children. Good golf course and driving range. Have stayed several times since 1998 and, therefore, could see that the rooms have been renovated. My room had a large bath tub INSIDE the room.... More

I travel throughout Asia Pacific, staying in Hotels for more than 6 months of the year. This is the Hotel that I class as the worst! I stay at 2 / 3 star Hotels in China / Vietnam / Indonesia which are better than this supposed 5 star Hotel. For a Business person you are left with two, equally miserable... More

We wanted to book a two night stay here but only had a chance to stay here a night as it was fully booked by the Le Tour de Langkawi contingent and had to stay a night beforehand in the really awful apartments situated next to Awana. The hotel has a nice spacious lobby and check in was fast. We... More

Nice location, but the years have had its way with the property. Service is mixed as a lot of staff turnover (typical of the area) creates some serious issues. Best option by far for the area, but that isn't saying too much. They offer everything you would expect from a large beach/golf resort. Reasonable pricing and lack of serious competition... More

Checked in smoothly on 29 Feb 2012. Sharing the room with a colleague but only one key was provided for us to share. No one offered to help on the luggage. Room was no face-lift, same as my last years' stays. Breakfast was with old time choices. Nasi Lemak was served with not-well-cooked groundnuts and anchovies. Cafe was averagely managed... More

After reading dreadful reviews, was quite apprehensive when I booked this hotel. Surprisingly, the rooms were still in pretty good condition. I noticed that the hotel in fact did some refurbishment in the room wherever is required. And the rooms are clean not not dusty. Except for the kids' pool which badly needed a total overhaul, there are plenty of... More
