Excellent service, great facilities and rooms

Pros: SErvice, locaion
Great view of the sea and excellent Malaysian hospitality by the staff. There were very large tour groups from China which thronged the breakfast rooms so that was the only noisy part of the stay. Everything else was nice and quiet.
