Hotels near Pantai Penarik, Kuala Terengganu

The good- 1/ what you see is what you get. Nice kampung houses situated at a remote area next to a pristine beach. Very calm. 2/ no internet connectivity, no wifi and very weak mobile coverage. Good to disconnect. The bad- 1/ Its more like an airbnb rental. No/lack of a proper hospitality service. Everything had to be done DIY. Went around looking for pool towels, getting coffee, etc... 2/ 2-3 locals are only real estate caretakers with minimal hospitality experience. Room was not cleaned daily. Not sure if we had to ask, the lady at the front desk did not mention anything. 3/ No one actually greeted us when we reached the place. Had to wait before the gate was opened by the gardener. The caretaker came out 10 mins after we went about looking for the check in place. 4/ Food quality was so and so. Am ok to book in advance but the first day dinner we ordered was below par so we decided not to eat in. No real value for money. However the place is so remote that the next descent restaurant was 5-6km away. 5/ A lot of mosquitoes at night. Even though there is a mosquito spray provided, it would be better if a mosquito repellent plugged to the power outlet can be provided as well. Mosquito nets around the bed provided some comfort for a good night sleep. 6/ lack of security around the premise. Came back from town at night, opened the gates, parked inside and walked around. No one to be seen or came out to check who we were. No phones in the room to call for service or in case of any emergencies. All in all we came for a weekend escapade. We got what we wanted from the property but it would have been better if the place is really managed by experienced service staff.

The duplex room we stayed in, the upper room and the lower living room. A more characteristic tall house; the room has 2 1.5M beds, and the extra-large bed can be used for 6 people. It is recommended that families live best.

Just OK to stay for 1 night. The room was really too small - imagine the sink could not fit into the bathroom and was located outside the bathroom. And, there were many many small ants all over the room and crawling on all the walls. We had arrived at 12pm and we had to wait for a long time for someone to turn up at reception. Then one lady arrived and checked for a long time only to tell us our room was not ready. Then, she said she would call us when our room was ready. Anyway, she lied as she did not call us at all. We turned up again at 3pm and got our room which was full of ants. I still gave a 4-star rating because of its good location where we could walk everywhere after parking our car. There was a car park behind (hourly meter paid via Touch n Go) or there were 3 free bays right outside the hotel. We tried to go to that cafe in the hotel which supposedly opened at 8am for breakfast. We arrived at 8am but the 2 ladies just refused to take our order as they said their order was not open yet. Then the guy from reception went to make his own coffee and at 8.10am we still could not order. Not sure why they were just not interested so we left and went to have breakfast in another hotel which ended up to be nicer and cheaper.

The location of the hotel is very strategic. Its near to Pasar payang and China Town.

Good location, great staff, I got a room at the end of the block, the WiFi basically doesn't work at that area

Friendly staff including receptionist, waitress and waiter, and car park security. Considering the low price, value for room and the most awesome thing is the room came with buffet breakfast for 3 persons, and the breakfast was really good! Overall experience is good.

Extend semalam sbb tak puas makan nasi dagang sebelah hotel. Hotel amat Dekat dgn nasi dagang atas tol. Jalan kaki saja dari hotel. Tak sampai 100 meter. Best turun n sampai ke kedai nasi dagang atas tol before 830. Sbb selalu pukul 9 dah habis nasi dagang

so far the hotel is ok for night stay.. but if u are so fussy about clealiness,, im not suggesting this hotel.. dust and hair fall everywhere.. have to swept the floor by myself..😔
