Highly recommend for a relaxing stay
Pros:

The place looks like it’s been refurbished and it’s terrific. Sea view room(11) is great, close to pool, restaurant and beach (though not very swim able due to rocks that we saw on low tide.) Pool is terrific. Service great a about a half hour grab ride into KK. Highly recommend for a laid back stay. We extended our original 2 day stay to 6.

Pros:

saya harap pemilik dapat menambahkan kemudahan untuk menarik orang datang. Saya bersama keluarga bermalam 3hari 2 malam seperti berada di rumah dan tidak merasa seperti bercuti kerana tiada yang menarik dan mengujakan kami..

Just beautiful location and friendly place to stay
Pros:

We have been going here for 7 years. The pool is fun, the beach is nice; when the tide goes out you can find thousands of starfish. The restaurant is good. They have been in business for a long time, and the place is a little run-down but the people are friendly, the location is spectacular, and our boys just love the pool and the sand.

Pros:

Very clean lovely property. Get a room with a view as its set in a spectacular setting. Loved it there. Breakfast is ok but food served in the restaurant was excellent. Bit far from town but thats ok as the busses go past the entrance.

Bara om du vill göra ingenting.
Pros:

Inget att göra, inga tips. Långt till shopping och restauranger. Skräpig strand. Dålig wi-fi. Fin utsikt. Fin trädgård. Ren pool.

Pros:

Exactly like the name of this place. Seaside. And, it gives home-like feeling. There's alot of stuff can be done here (swimming, basketball, ping pong, dart, etc) but I didnt have the time, too bad. The only setback is the old furniture smell that in our room. But it's not too bad though, feels like we own the room ahaha. That's all from me. Thanks for the service STI.

내 생에 최악의 조식
Pros:

관광지 및 시내와 너무 멀다
끔찍한 조식 인생 최악의 조식
너무 낡은 방 에어컨이 뜨거운 바람이 나옴
수건도 너무 더럽고 말하기 전에는 수건을 바꾸어주지도 않음
최악의 휴가를 선사해준 호텔분들에 감사를 표합니다

Sit back and relax, The Seaside Traveller's way.
Pros:

This is the second time I've stayed here, once in 2008 and now in 2016, both times I've left thinking what a special place this is, first of all there's the incredible view of Dinawan and several other islands including in the distance Manatuk and Gaya islands of the local marine park, then there's the friendly staff who genuinely seem happy to see you and the family history that is woven into the place, oh and an awesome pool to boot, oh and amazingly friendly cats, the list goes on.

This is not a five star hotel, it's a family run B&B with a view to die for and awesome staff, yes there are imperfections but on my last trip I stayed here and the five star Sama Sama in KL and I can honestly say I would choose this place over anywhere else without hesitation.
The motto for The Seaside Traveller's Inn is "Sit back and relax", trust me you won't have a choice but to 😎👍

Pros:

aircon too small for a big room. Insufficient fan for a big family to stay ... only one fan that one also cannot circulate and location of the fan also not suitable.
bathroom is clean but drainage is awful. You need to take few minute after shower to let the water to clear before next person can take shower

Good for short getaway to relax your mind
Pros:

I book for deluxe but been upgraded to family room. Room spacious with nice scenery and surrounding. Got small pool great for playing with kids n deep enough for adults as well. It is good for short getaway to relax your mind but don't expect to much
