Had a holiday coming, so we took advantage of the 888 promotion from Genting and booked the room for RM188 per night. The main reason we chose this place was for the golf course.
After slightly more than 3 hours of driving from KL, I checked into the room as shown below. It looks great and had a great view of the beach and the golf course.
A great feature. You could look out from the bath tub. However the shower is actually separated from the tub. It is also very difficult to get a proper water temperature....it really fluctuates between scalding hot and icy cold before careful twitching of the knob corrects it.
Overall, it was a great holiday. The hotel, however, could had been better.....they are all nice and friendly but lacks that zip that makes a hotel great. Things only get fixed when asked, as if the room conditions were never checked.
Breakfast was good if you are staying for not more than 2 days....then it really gets boring. I really enjoyed the Roti Canai but it seems that dish is the one they rotate throughout the week...and not that stack untouched beef bacon.
The gym also has only one tread mill...I have seen lesser hotels have more.
One of the bright spot was the Chinese restaurant we discovered just outside of Awana. There are also 2 Korean restaurants, a Malay restaurant and also KFC at that same area. Dishes are of course much cheaper than eating in the hotel and it's within walking distance. Thank goodness my colleague brought me there before, otherwise our hotel bill would have doubled.
Overall, it's a good place if you really need to play golf, get away from the city and don't mind the location.
