Hey ya’ll, I’ve been looking into some reviews on Tanjung Bungah Beach Resort recently at http://www.tripadvisor.com . Honestly, it’s a very resourceful website. You get comments of people who’ve holiday-ed there, and there are all sorts. Used it to check out Pangkor Island Beach Resort for a family holiday last year. (NOTE : It’s RM 496 per room for 2 ppl now = RM 248 per person. If you cram an extra person, just like we’re gonna do, it’s about RM 165 per person only! 3 days 2 nights accomodation and return ticket included. But the extra person has to purchase their air ticket seperately. Divide the moolah accordingly)

Anyhow, something very interesting I noticed…

1. Most foreigners (ang moh’s especially) rated the staff as friendly and helpful, and the accomodation adequate.

2. Most Malaysians commented on the staff (the receptionist especially) as unsmiling, unhelpful, and their accomodation sucky.

Had a Good Stay At Hotel, But Were Late Checking Us In On arrival. Close To Transport, Short Bus Trip To Night Market. Breakfast Was Excellent . Crossing Road Outfront Was A Challenge . Aircon In Room Could Of Been Cooler, And Bathroom Sink Would Not Hold Water Kept running Away. But Overall Good Stay At Hotel, With Pleasant Staff. Nice To Relax

    “Better than expected – Value for money”

    Hotel staff is kind enough to allow us to take a look at the Seaview room. Unfortunately its at low floor and the view is blocked by trees. By accident discovered that 2nd floor is seldom used, therefore its clean, dry and without cigarette smell. Took the Hillview room which is a bit noisy due to the traffic. The beds are clean and comfortable, acceptable for young kids. Forget about house keeping at night. Nobody picks up the phone. However you will get much better service in the day.

    Beach is right downstairs – its perfect for my kids. The swimming pool is also a nice place to hang out. Kid’s club is also well equipped.

    Parking is limited especially when there’s functions.

    Breakfast is very much Malay and local food.

    I would not recommend this hotel .
    The room is old ,rusty,dirty, scruffy and very tired.  —-→ ooo, personification!
    The carpet = terrible smell and dirty .
    Very uncomfortable stay.
    Twin bedded room , the bed is very small.

    However, the locations is very nice.
    The beach is outside the hotel..nice beach .

    The pool is small and the temperature of the pool is very low…very cool…

    The lobby decorations and interior is very modern but the room is very terrible…

    Would not recommend people to stay here…..

     Well, if you’re a student…
    1) Cheap 3 star hotels should be worshipped.
    2) Rusty lamps shouldn’t worry you (so what, you think it’s 5 star ah?). Mouldy bathrooms are somewhat spine-chilling though.
    3) Unfriendly staff? WHO CARES!? ‘Sucks to be youuuu’
     
    mahahaha, cheers!
     
    luv, aileen.
