We were part of a wedding entourage of 25 family and relatives that just overnight but we decided to make a weekend of it by staying 2 nights. A very well maintained hotel, although its age is showing (other than the lobby and coffee house). Despite in need of some refurbishing, the rooms were very clean which was a pleasant surprise. For some unexplained reason, the phones were not working so we had to use our mobile to call front desk.
The service was prompt and staff very friendly. We got 2 garden view (which faced green undeveloped plot of neighbouring land) rooms with connecting door. We asked for an extra bed the first night for my nephew and asked they not charge us - and they didn't :-)! The first night was noisy due to the loud music from the lounge disco (on 1st floor and we were on 3rd floor). So best to go for the east wing.
The pool and beach provided sufficient fun activities for young kids. We noticed the beach is cleaned everyday. Breakfast spread was good but I wished they used dinner plates instead of small serving plates. The thrift shop in lobby was well stocked. On the last day the kids wanted more time on the beach we asked for a late checkout which we got without any problems.
Overall it was a pleasant stay. Will try the spa next time.
For those driving there from KL - quicker to drive straight to Gebeng highway exit instead of Gambang/Kuantan.
