Old place, but staff has great attitude! Kudos!
Singing trio at the open air bar (between the beach and the swimming pool) was fantastic! Would love to stay on if not for mosquitoes. Tip: Bring a mosquito repellent. Room is in an repairable state - understandable now, why renovations are ongoing. Breakfast could be better. Human touch is excellent. Where the hotel itself is old and in need of a face-lift, I can appreciate the staff's helpfulness and excellent attitude throughout it all. Loved spending time at the swimming pool - slide is great fun, even for me, a soon-to-be 40 year old adult.

It was not our first time stay with Pulai. The hotel was under some renovation and we were placed besides the renovation site. The conditions of the washroom was not pleasant at all.

Dated hotel. Bad dinner restaurant food.
Believe hotel staff upgraded us which was great but registration took almost 30min as staff couldn't find hotels.com booking - I made booking under my account but there were two rooms so I was probably prompted to enter two names. that's why they couldn't issue 2nd room that is not under my name (how dumb).. Anyway room n toilet condition is so dated. Will not consider going back..

Needs renovations.
The room is spacious but certain parts needs renovations. Cleanliness could be improved on. But overall it was a reasonable stay.
