Padang Matsirat Budget Hotels from RM344

"Hotel is ok Breakfast is of poor quality Area around hotel is run down and scruffy Pools are lovely"

"We had a rainforest chalet fairly near reception, we rarely stay in resorts so we don't really have anything to compare this too but we absolutely loved it. The room was lovely, they left a little present for our toddler which was a lovely touch. The minibar being stocked each day was fab too. Absolutely loved being in the rainforest, the wildlife was amazing and the free evening nature walk was a real highlight, the guide was so knowledgeable and very accommodating. The pool area was great, beach gorgeous with views to all the hills behind. It's quite remote so if you want to travel around you'd need a car but we got a grab easily up to oriental village when we ate a few times as food in the hotel is expensive. We got 3 meals and 3 drinks at oriental village for the same price as one meal in the hotel. Breakfast is wonderful though, so much choice. We used the beach restaurant for breakfast and were usually the only ones in there first thing. It seemed really quiet overall, not sure if it's usually like this or if we really lucked out! "

"Beautiful hotel in beautiful surroundings that met all our expectations ."

"More than met every expectation. Luxury for the discerning, not for those looking to flash their cash. Our marina view room was large, exceedingly comfortable and well equipped, with 2 wardrobes, huge bed, tables, chairs, two wash basins, rainfall shower and separate bath. Pool and beach areas absolutely superb and we never had a problem finding loungers. Complimentary snacks and refreshments offered around the pool during the afternoon. Restaurants offered wide range of local and ‘international’ dishes, everything you could wish for so long as you’re not ridiculously fussy…but even if you were I wouldn’t be surprised if the excellent staff tried to accommodate you as best they could. Location is peaceful but within a short grab/taxi ride of everything."

"Resort is well maintained and all the staff are friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back. "

"Breakfast is very basic Malaysian style. "
