Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious and comfy, very clean, and quite big. The service provided by the staff was extremely accommodating and professional, making me feel so welcome. The location was outstanding, with easy access to the beautiful beach and a diverse range of activities. The dining experience, however, was a bit underwhelming for the price paid. Overall, a great value for a memorable vacation.
Arriving a few hours earlier than planned, the room was ready, although the amenities seemed average without an ironing board. The strategic location on the 2nd row from the beach was a plus, but I missed having certain conveniences in the room.
The hotel offers a convenient location with modern amenities and friendly service. However, room conditions and housekeeping are areas needing improvement.
The hotel is a fantastic getaway with spacious, clean rooms offering perfect ocean views. The service at the Beach Bar was exceptional despite occasional delays. The location at the cliff is easily accessible, and the dining experience, though varied, can be a bit pricey. The facility offers a pleasant stay with some hit and miss dining options.
The hotel rooms were so comfy and nice with an amazing view of the beach. They were quite big, clean, spacious, and had all the amenities you need. However, on rainy days, small flying ants were everywhere due to the remote location.
The hotel rooms were clean and modern, but a bit small for the price paid. The availability of small plastic water bottles and single-use toiletries was convenient. The bidet near the toilet bowl made it Muslim-friendly.
The hotel offers very spacious rooms that are worth the money but are very dark. The rooms had stains on the carpet, hairs on the sofa, and average towels without an ironing board provided. The service was wonderful and accommodating, but there was an incident where the staff simply opened and closed the chafing dish without addressing the issue. The location is near the jetty and one of the most gorgeous places in Malaysia. The dining had lots of variety, though some found it all fried and rather boring. The facilities offered are top-notch.
The hotel offers mixed experiences with great rooms but poor service. The rooms look fantastic but cleanliness was an issue upon check-in. However, our sea view room was spacious, impeccably clean, and excellently equipped. Service lacked in some areas despite friendly and attentive staff.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room I had, while overlooking the ocean, felt a bit dated and more like a trees and roofs view unit. However, it was a nice size, though slightly dark. The service, particularly from key staff members like the Resort Manager, Restaurant Manager, and Phillip from the Activities desk, was super friendly. The location was truly a paradise away from the hustle and bustle, with clean white sandy beaches and crystal clear water for a perfect relaxing getaway. The dining experience was very good with a variety of options, especially the breakfast. The facilities of the hotel were impressive, meeting high standards for a 5-star resort.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered fantastic views but were a bit dated. I booked last year, hoping for a slightly better beach view. The buggies to go to the rooms were convenient, but waiting times could be improved.
The hotel is nestled in a stunning cove surrounded by lush rainforests, offering a serene ambiance. The rooms, though slightly dated, are decent, clean, and comfortable. The service, while engaging, felt a bit casual at times. The location is undeniably one of the most gorgeous in Malaysia, but the depth of the water might be shallow for some. The dining experience, particularly breakfast, provides good variety but could use a bit more diversity. The hotel facilities are convenient and well-maintained.
The hotel offers mixed experiences with comfortable rooms but some disappointments such as non-ocean view units and out-of-order facilities. Friendly service and a stunning location for snorkeling make up for some dining letdowns. Pricey meals and issues with sand flies in some areas underline a stay with highs and lows.
My stay at the hotel was a great experience. The location was beautiful, offering a stunning seaview, and the rooms, though a bit of a walk, were comfortable with large bathrooms. The service was a mix of very good and forgetful moments, but overall pleasant. The dining options were varied, catering to both Western and Malaysian tastes. The facilities were well-maintained, enhancing my overall stay.
The hotel has not aged well and could use a good refreshing, but my stay in one of the cliff-top rooms was cozy. The service was amazing, with the Taaras staff being incredibly friendly and always smiling. The location is brilliant, away from all the noise and traffic, providing a relaxing atmosphere with clean white sandy beaches. The dining experience needs upgrading to a higher standard. Overall, a mixed but somewhat pleasant experience.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a fantastic sea view, equipped with single-use toiletries and plastic water bottles. The staff provides brilliant service throughout, from the helpful interns to the manager. The location, situated at the cliff with clean beaches and crystal-clear waters, offers a relaxing atmosphere. While the dining experience is good, breakfast options could be improved. The facilities are decently clean and well-maintained.
