The Hotel is excellent but it's a bit far from the city (George Town) but there is a good bus service. Unfortunate the sea is full of harmful jellyfish

Hotel is looking old and tired. Inattention to detail. No resolution of issues. No 'in house' entertainment and the only English speaking programmes on TV are sport & news. So no English speaking entertainment at all.
However the garden & pool area is lovely.
My Expedia paperwork told me there was a fee to be paid at the property of $13:50 AUD. However I was charged RM180 (Approx $60 AUD) This needs to be sorted out between the Hotel & Expedia.

Bayview Beach Resort definitely exceeded my expectations. My room was huge and really had the nice extras that you appreciate in a hotel - hairdryer, iron, lots of hangers, pristine white towels and sheets. The bed was very comfy, and the room had a nice little sofa with a side table as well as a desk area. The lawn between the hotel and the beach is so peaceful. And, the gym was surprisingly really well stocked will machines and equipment. And, the area has lots of great places to eat.

This hotel has a great location of being close to beach. Their facilities are quite kids friendly with an indoor kid playground and two kids swimming pools. But the hotel's condition is very old and we can see broken pieces everywhere. The breakfast is very basic with some choices.
However, the hotel service needs some serious improvement. Just a few examples:
1. when we checked in, we found a cigarettes left in the closet and the previous guest's soap still left in the bathroom.
2. In the 2nd night of our stay, there was a large team building activity within the hotel. Around 11:20pm, a large number of people gathered in the lobby and made huge noises by shouting loudly. Due to the unique architectural layout, the noises go everywhere. No hotel staff tried to ask them to stay quiet.
3. The elevator floor were constantly wet as many guests did not dry their bodies after swimming. But no hotel staff helps to clean the floor.
4. Although the hotel sign requires guests to dress swimming suits to use swimming pools, no one really cares. People just jump into the pool with all kinds of dresses.
5. The breakfast runs from 6:30am to 10:30am. But some staffs disappeared since 9:15am. We like to get hot roti but the staff who made it stopped showing up.
6. The hotel does not provide hand towel (not sure why). We have to call housekeeping everyday to get some.

Great buffet breakfast with large selection overlooking pool, large rooms, hillside view was nice but due to road below, bit noisy to sit on balcony. Staff was excellent and always very friendly and helpful. Sea water this end of beach is very silty and doesn’t feel good to swim in.

We stayed 3 nights, two of them in one room not facing the beach. This room was a little musty, needed to be aired out. The other room was facing the beach and was fresh. Hotel staff were great. We opted for the breakfast and there was a lot of variety offered.

The room I had was HUGE. The king-size bed seemed way too small. The ceiling was at least ten or fifteen high.
The hotel itself gave the feeling of staying in a place whose glory days had long since passed. Yes, the room was nice, clean, and comfortable. But maybe because it was Ramadan....the hotel seemed mostly vacant. The lights in the main check-in area, with it's huge domed ceiling, remained off during the day, which gave the place a gloomy look.
The downstairs buffet breakfast was just okay. I would visit primarily for the coffee and orange juice.

Fantastic hotel and really clean. Rooms done every day and location is right on the beach. Pools are clean, however swim up bar wasn't open and prices at the pool bar were ridiculous in my honest opinion. I would however recommend it to anyone.

We were given a room with connecting door. The sound proofing of this room was really bad, we can hear the occupants of the room chatting and laughing through the night and day when they are in.
The toilet do flush well but u have to hold onto the flush until the materials are gone unlike your usual push and go flush system.
The plus points are aircon is central and thus we always come back to a cool room.
The heater are centralised and thus do not need to wait for the water to be hot. Just need to run the tap for the hot water.
Room is big and like the spaciousness of the place.... furniture are a old but well maintained.
Overall, the stay is pleasant but I really would appreciate if the connecting doors are more made more sound proof.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included but although there was plenty of food, you couldn't really put much of a real breakfast together. Can I ask in what country in the world do they eat bread and butter pudding and custard for breakfast?!!
Rooms were clean, but dated with fixtures and fittings needing replacing. Grouting in shower had mould.
Room was damp, so bedding and clothes never felt dry.
All that being said it it's well placed on the beach, with a great beach bar nextdoor.
It's not 5 star but it was a good place to stay for a few days

I gave the property every opportunity to rectify the situation, but they chose not to do so.
Unfortunately, the property is a shadow of what it shows in the pictures, on their official website and even in their internal communications (their internal TV channel, posters around the property, etc.)
They state that they have a spa, indoor and outdoor jacuzzis, tennis courts, table tennis tables, billiards, a bar and several other facilities that made me book with them. In reality;
*the table tennis tables no longer exist
*the billiard tables are no longer there
*the bar was unmanned and seemingly closed my entire stay
*the pool bar was closed
*they no longer have a spa
*they never had an outdoor jacuzzi and there was no evidence of an indoor one either
*their restaurants remained closed (except the breakfast one)
*the tennis courts were in dire shape and they do not provide balls or tennis rackets
The actual rooms weren't too bad, but the bathrooms had a lot of mold and a very, very dirty exhaust fan. The overall state of the hotel is not great either. The elevator floors are cracked, the main pool had a section roped off because a part of it was green, etc.
I was very disappointed as I had booked multiple rooms to celebrate being reunited with my parents and in laws after 4 years. We planned to use the facilities but there simply weren't any. I consider the listing to be falsified and have contacted Expedia to do their due diligence with this property.
