The Bayview Beach Resort

This hotel has been around since the 1990s and does look somewhat old fashioned but still offers a pleasant stay. It used to be seen as a value-for-money option (at only MYR150 per night in the 1990s) against the other more high profile resorts along the Batu Ferringhi stretch. These days, prices have gone up by 300% and it doesn't feel that value-for-money anymore even though prices elsewhere have, of course, gone up as well. But still a decent stay for old times sake.

Always a lovely friendly stay at the Bayview. A very welcoming environment. Can get a bit crowded in the pool area on the weekends but manageable with lots of friendly local guests.. A nice breakfast buffet with lovely garden surrounds. We love it here and have visited many times over the years.

This hotel was perfect for myself and my family, it was just a 20 minute walk from the centre so just far enough away to keep away from the bulk of the noise but close enough to get there quickly. Our room was great and it has a good swimming pool although the pool bar hasn’t been open for some time albeit still advertised as a feature. We were on the 6th floor where the WIFI wasn’t particularly good but it was fine in the lobby and gardens. Good selection of tasty food at breakfast. Quite a lot of road noise at night if your not facing the pool but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to other travellers

Very old facility, not friendly staff, very load motor cycle noise in the evening. Definitely not a proper four star hotel.

Hi This will be the last time we write a review for the Bayview after nearly 30 years of stays due to the closure in October by the new owners for long overdue renovations it really does need. For 99% of the staff I truly wish well with whatever their futures hold for them and good luck in retirement for others as well deserved! We stayed on this occasion for 3 weeks (lucky for us) and we had booked 3 different rooms for all of us as the rest of our family group started arriving only for the last 2 weeks., Our rooms were on the 9th Floor and ours a full sea view, 2nd was a family side sea for my daughters family and a hillside for my adult son. We were there to celebrate my daughters 40th Birthday and all was well and we appreciated some of the challenges the staff had to deal with due to the impending closure. Due to costal erosion a tree had fallen and had to be chain sawed away but noise was kept to a minimum, On the event of her Birthday we could sit at the pool bar and have our drinks served to us there which we thanked the staff for as was an event dating back many years and many birthdays even though it is no longer open as a pool bar. As mentioned at the start that there was one member of staff who even after our return to UK with us raising a serious formal complaint re our sons room & loss of property reported to the night manager on the 5th June has still to be addressed and left a bitter taste in the mouth after so many stays and no issues to bring home.
