A surprising pleasant experience. If not for MCO, I don't think we'd be here, partly because of the rates. The beach is nice and private. The room is spacious, the pool is nice and sufficient. The staff is courteous. Our recent stay was pleasant n nice. However, there are issues we want to raise: 1) since breakfast is sent to the room during MCO, would the hotel pls kindly change the morning menu. Not nasi lemak every day & fruits must be included.. 2). The fridge was not functioning properly-not very cold 3) TV couldn't receive TV1, TV2 and all RTM radio stations. I'd appreciate a proper chair in the room, please. Otherwise, no complaint.
