Kedah Holidays from AU$975

Super friendly staff.

The property was very well maintained, and our room was quite spacious. Although we booked a garden-facing room, we were pleasantly surprised that our room also had a beach view, which was a big plus. They have several garden-facing rooms that are also beach-facing, so it’s worth checking this when booking. The breakfast was really amazing, with a great variety of vegetarian options. The infinity pool was clean, well maintained, and a great place to relax. The resort is right by the water, although swimming in the sea is not possible here. I was already aware of this before booking, so it wasn’t a disappointment for me. They have plenty of options for both lunch and dinner, and the kitchen remains open overnight, which makes it very convenient to order food even at late hours. Getting around the resort is also easy, as they provide buggy service. The daily room-cleaning service was another nice bonus. Overall, it was a very comfortable and well-maintained property, and we had a really pleasant stay.

Had 2 bed apartment which was huge, kitchen is better than most apartments have in the UK! Downside was facing the noisy building work which starts early in the morning and goes on till late evening. Another hotel is being built which does obscure the view to the sea. This will most likely go on for at least another year as hotel being built. Breakfast is a let down, if you go nearer the end, nothing is replaced. One day we had to queue for 30 mins for a table for which they are short. Wifi in hotel is hit and miss. Not enough sunbeds and only 3 umbrellas! At least pool is open till 10pm. Not sure why they require room numbers to get a towel. Overall a decent value for money hotel, however definitely not 5 star. Best in the area and modern. Good location

We spent 3 nights at Ambong Villas, and it was the best 3 nights, the room was really amazing, very clean and the views were insane! The staff were really friendly, and welcoming, they made it feel like home. The whole process from check-in till check-out was so smooth, even during our stay the staff helped us with recommendations to go try different beaches activities and restaurants which were really nice! I highly recommend this place. It is really special to us now and we will come back for sure InshAllah.

First impressions: a very good 4-star hotel! We had a great stay at Hompton by the Beach, Penang, and the theme song was such a lovely touch—it actually stayed in our heads even after we checked out! 😄🎶 There’s definitely some room for improvement, such as providing portable luggage storage and adding a little more décor and ambience to give the hotel a stronger holiday feel. The staff could also improve on customer service and friendliness to better match 4-star hotel standards. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again in the future! ❤️
