Penang me encantó pero el hotel me decepcionó un poco
Pros:

El desayuno está bastante variado. El entorno del hotel es bonito y tiene la parada del autobús en la puerta que hace que el hotel esté perfectamente comunicado

Cons:

El hotel necesita bastante mantenimiento y renovación. Las instalaciones está algo obsoletas como por ejemplo las cortinas de las habitaciones, las tumbonas de la piscina. El mobiliario en general. La piscina también necesita una renovación
Tampoco me gustó que en las fotografías se vea la playa idílica y no nos pudimos ni bañar. El agua es muy turbia, la playa está termendamente sucia. Incluso con cristales y mucho plástico.
Me sentí un poco engañado con las fotografías.

Good value for money in an older but nicely refurbished hotel. Food was Fab.
Pros:

Staff friendly, breakfast was fab. Hotel is literally right on the beach which was clean and nice. No complaints about cleanliness or responsiveness of staff.

Cons:

We asked for a sea view which we technically got, but we had a large fenced off terrace immediately in front of us which we couldn't walk out onto, so we weren't able to enjoy it as we expected. There was no carpet in the room which had hard ceramic tiles on the floor, so we needed to use thongs.

Cons:

LACK OF STAFF AT FRONT DESK, AFTER CHECK-IN, WE NEED TO WAIT FOR A BELL BOY SINCE THE BELL BOY AND THE RECEPTIONIST IS THE SAME PERSON. He needs to entertain the guest and bring up the guest luggage to the room. Pity him. BREAKFAST NOT IMPROVED FROM THE LAST VISIT 1 YEAR AGO. TO PROVIDE NASI MINYAK IN THE EARLY MORNING IS NOT A GOOD CHOICE AT ALL. MAKE ANOTHER OPTION OF FLAVOURED RICE THAT IS COMMON IN MALAYSIA, SUCH AS FRIED RICE, NASI LEMAK, OR NASI KERABU. NASI MINYAK IS NOT SUITABLE. ALSO IMPROVE THE PORRIDGE TASTE, VERY LACK OF CONDIMENTS.

Very comfortable stay
Pros:

It was a very pleasant stay. The room size was very nice and the view was great. It had a quiet pool and felt nice and clean.

Cons:

I did not love the variety at breakfast, and the balcony door also seemed outdated and difficult to open and close. Also the restaurants in walking distance were not a great variety. None of this is too important though if you want a relaxing stay, this is great.
