Primula Beach Resort Kuala Terengganu

This hotel is not to be recommended. We had to stay there for one night before going to Pulau Gemia. The room (which was one of the better category) was very dirty (especially the bathroom). So was the restaurant. As there ist no other restaurant nearby we had to have some food from there. What we got was not more than fast food from a cheap snack bar. Staff at the reception was not very responsive and quite unfriendly. Overall we decided to book another hotel for the transfer night on our way back as we did not want to experience this again.

I have just returned from a 3-night stay at Primula Beach Resort.

Dinner was quite expensive, poor quality: main courses served almost cold, steamed fish was raw in the center. Long waiting time, although not too crowded. Price is too high for what you get compared to other Malaysian hotels in this price range.

There's this lovely place called Kuala Terengganu on the east coast of Malaysia where I had the opportunity to holiday recently. The hotel - Primula Beach Resort is your almost normal looking hotel but, the place has personality and most importantly - SOUL. The staff were friendly and the rooms despite looking dated, is the stuff that makes it all more interesting with that 'lived-in' look. Long sandy stretch of beach with powdery white sand.
