What recent reviews say

Individual units vary sharply: some guests find bright, well-kept apartments with air conditioning and decent amenities; others encounter filthy spaces with cockroaches and mould. Building exterior appears neglected, and parking costs an extra RM10 per night. A beachfront location near Georgetown works for budget stays, but cleanliness standards are unreliable.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Recent shift: Cleanliness complaints concentrated in 2021-2022 reviews; more recent reviews (2024) show mixed experiences, with some units satisfactory and others still problematic.

  • strong water pressure and amenities
  • beach proximity
  • good value for price

Most guests praise the beachfront location, spacious rooms, and clean facilities, especially the pool and sea views from balconies. Management responds quickly to issues. However, some units arrive missing basics like towels and blankets, kitchen equipment varies by room, and pool supervision can feel intrusive to families seeking a relaxed vibe.

One guest found the location excellent and rooms private, though basic amenities like dustbins and mirrors were missing. The facilities themselves were clean. Those without their own car should budget for regular taxi costs, as ride-hailing can add up.
