"What an absolute gem this hotel is, tranquil, beachfront and amazingly attentive staff from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. The in-house spa is a must and so accommodating. Food is great, service is exceptional, couldn't fault anything. Would go back again and again !"

"Excellent hotel in a historic building. Amenities are great and a bit quirky (see how they bring the luggage to the upstairs rooms). Staff is very nice. The Italian hotel on premise is Michelin listed."

"Staff was great and lobby area was very calm and spa like. My only complaint was street noise for our room and lack of light because there is a big tree in front. Charming local decor."

This is probably the nicest place we have ever stayed. The location is out of a movie. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes an effort to get to know you. The room was amazing and had fresh fruit every day. Every meal was delicious. They are always making sure you have enough water when you are on the beach and I got a free kayak rental. There is a small island nearby that is an easy paddle to get to, where I found a huge (and docile) monitor lizard. Everything was perfect and we had a very...

Very helpful staff on arrival. Best hotel in Penang’s historical district. I did encounter a problem st checkin though. I believe that breakfast was included with the room. They claim it was not ands I looked at my Expedia receipt and it was not. I don’t fault the hotel but Expedia for this. It’s like bait and switch!

Complete relaxation in a beautiful setting. The villas are comfortable and quite big. The open air concept gives you that feeling of being in nature, but in a private setting. The entire grounds give way to a stress-free experience. The staff are helpful and courteous; they went over and above to tend to our needs. They were able to find my wedding ring that slipped off my finger unbeknownst to me. Then they arranged a driver to bring it to my hotel in Kuala Lumpur! Awesome service and...

Truly 5* experience. We really like the room layout and the Mediterranean concept. The king-size bed is so comfortable, it has the best pillow we've ever sleep on. The bath tub is huge for Asian size, plus good quality toiletries. Aside to all basic amenities bathrobes, iron & iron board also provided. The balcony size is pretty cramped with 2 small chairs & a coffee table, but wont stop us from lazying around, sipping a cup of coffee/tea while enjoying the view (we opted for deluxe river view)...

Charming small hotel. Staff, especially Redho & Devi, were so accommodating. Felt a little like ‘home’. The antique and art collection are beautiful. Definitely will stay again if I ever get back to Penang.

I have travelled across the globe and stayed in countless hotels and Villa Samadhi counts in the top 3 best hotels in which I have stayed. The room size of the lux crib cannot be captured by the lense. It is positively immense. The attention to the smallest detail is quite evident. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Staying at Villa Samadhi was an experience I will gladly repeat. Highly recommended.

I stayed six nights in early February. Because the location was great, I walked to restaurants and shops in Georgetown. My room was big and had a sea view. The cleaning crews cleaned my room twice a day. The front desk staff was friendly, polite, and helpful.
However, during six nights of staying at E & O, I have had some negatives feelings about this hotel. First, some guest were pretty rude. They talked so loudly in the hallway, and their conversations woke me up a few times. I was not sure...

Great location on the waterfront. A nice free upgrade with a city view didn't hurt. Great bed, great bathroom, very clean. Goof breakfast.
Really impressed with the staff. They are so nice here, know how to treat a guest.

We were on the last two days of our 6 day trip throughout Malaysia, starting in Kuala Lumpur and Sandakan. We wanted to wrap up the holiday with two relaxing days at a resort, doing much of nothing. We arrived at the Jesselton Ferry facility via taxi from the airport. A quick ride arriving to find the Gaya Island Resort was the only ferry desk to have an enclosed, air-conditioned room to await our departure to the island.

If there is one thing to highlight about Bunga Raya, that's the staff: they were all really well trained, helpful and friendly - from this perspective, one of the best experiences we ever had. The ladies at the massage were also really good.
We liked breakfast a lot: great variety and quantity, I would especially recommend Tuaran mee.
The house reef has probably seen better days (condition of the corals), but you can see a lot of small fish, clownfish, rays and if you are lucky, even a green...

Our stay was very nice. We felt welcome as soon as we walked in. The room and ambiance is wonderful and the location is the best. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and the river. Also, it’s very peaceful atmosphere.

The place was amazing. We had a really good time there. It's Maldives on a budget. Can't beat the rooms right above the ocean with tons of fishes and corals in your backyard. They could use a few more shuttles between their sister resort and town. The staff is very friendly. Overall a great experience. One complaint we had was that the Chinese restaurant served us raw chicken. My young kids ate them. Luckily they are ok, otherwise would have been quite serious.
