3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

Rooms:- Not all rooms were renovated yet and unfortunately, mine wasn't (Rm 319). The great thing is that the rooms are spacious. My only complaint was about the crawling ants in the toilet. I'm glad the air conditioning was controllable unlike some of my other friends that were in the refurbished rooms. Food:- Below average. Service of staff:- Excellent. They... More

We arrived late in the hotel so was not able to explore the resort and headed straight to our rooms to sleep. I was delighted to arrive in a very spacious room. When we woke up early the next day, we were pleasantly welcomed with a view of the beach and sunrise. It was a refreshing sight after a busy... More

Reception and pool area are lovely with quite a nice beach. However, we paid far too much for a loft room which wasn't renovated and needed maintenance and a good clean. We left early after only one night as we were starving. Hotel restaurants were terrible - food not cooked properly and menu choice and quality of food poor. We... More

First of all, we liked the room as it was cosy and roomy. The room cooled quite quickly. Perhaps we were fortunate not to encounter the insects problem some of the reviewers below mentioned. The location of the resort is perfect for those who like quiet moments on the beach. The stretch of beach in front of the resort is... More

Don't go there with big expectations....they will not be met. However, if you are looking for a short beach getaway from Singapore and you can deal with some imperfections you will have a great time at the Pulai. The overall experience - a sleepy malysian beach village. Not many foreigners. However, we met an older Swiss couple that has been... More
