The breakfast was good, the fried chicken was very delicious, the curry with nasi lemak was great, but there were not many kinds of vegetables and fruits. The parking lot is free, but there are not many cars, the service is very good, check in and check out have parking handles to help carry your luggage and then take you from the room to your parking location. Without TV, the telephone signal and network signal are not very good. The forest is here to cut off from the world.

This must be the most pleasant hotel quarantine i have done so far. I have a room with a balcony that overlooks the sea on one side and the hills on the other. Last night i watched the sun set, and this morning i did my exercises in thesea breeze, and could see the birds flying around in the trees. A special thank you to the hotel reservation team - Hasrol has been so helpful. He made sure i got the rooms i requested (we are a family group, so wanted adjoining rooms as well), kept us updated as the quarantine procedures kept changing, and made sure we had the documents we needed for smooth clearance through the airport on arrival. What a difference it makes to have professional and caring staff, especially when attempting travel during the Covid pandemic.

Location quite far off from any eateries. Understandable why it's not near the city centre but the beach is not quite out of satisfaction. And lack of activities. However kudos to the hospitality and customer service.

I especially like the environment there, the beautiful scenery, the birds and flowers, the villa is simple and chic, very emotional. There are frogs and insects in the night, and there are bird songs in the morning, which is suitable for leisure for small purposes. The waiters are warm and thoughtful, that is, the transportation is not convenient, and Chinese food and dinner are not available. Going to eat a meal will require a round trip and cost 120 MYR.

Should be prepare early for customer , aircond must cold temperature during sunny day and also for effective rest.

Stayed for a night at Olive tree for a rest before our flight the next day. Room was clean and neat. So many eateries around, so it was nice to try out foods at Bayan Lepas. Airport is around 10mins away, which was the reason we decided to book for the room. Reception was kind to allow an early check in at 12pm. Highly recommended

This was our 1st time at Amari Spice but from the on set was a bad experience. Driving into the hotel I could not drive to the lobby entrance to drop my family & luggage as it was blocked for some reason best known to Amari. Security at the entrance was of no help & I ended up blocking the way of a car at the back. What was supposed to be destress trip, started off on bad note. Anyway cursing Amari Spice for being worst than a 1 star hotel, I reversed back into the lobby entrance. Told this bad experience while checking in to the front office staff but they were not bothered  Going to the room found the mattress to be too soft sinking when you lay down & the air cond temp tops up at 26.5 degress, not everyone likes the room super cold. These 2 shortcomings are something that you wld not find in a 4 or 5 star hotels but looks like Amari is still figuring out where they stand. Even many 3 star hotels are better. Moving to the shower both rain & hand shower water flow was dispointing at best with temperature regulation being a challenge. Since my home is at Bukit Jambu & the main reason of chosing Amari was to destress, which was not possible with the said room conditions, I had to leave my family both nights to head home to rest. The matteress, shower & air cond at home the best. Wondering how Amari claims to be home away from home. On a good note the staff were courteous & friendly. Inclosing would I stay at Amari Spice again. NO.

I call this a high end prison cell maybe suitable for you know who ex-PM. I'm pretty used to hostel environment and budget hotel but this takes the cake. Be warned, for the price you pay, you would be better off in some other hotel at Georgetown itself that is much cheaper and offer better service and facility. I won't even want to stay 1 day in here. And just take a Grab or a half hour bus ride on Bus Service 403E to this location if you really need to be here. The picture from the other reviews pretty much sums it up. 4 blank walls, a bed without head rest a small writing desk with a plastic chair. And a tv with local channels only on the wall but like most Penang hotel that I encountered, the reception only seems to start working well in the evening. Daytime image is grainy. Water heater is always on -normal. Only soap supplied was in a bottle that looked like it was from a dish washing detergent bottle dispenser. Reception Desk is sometimes not available and room guest has their key card to tap to enter the hotel. Hence you need to make an appointment if you are coming at odd hours else there is no way in. I guess anyone staying here is just to attend some exhibition at Spice Arena. I made a wrong choice by changing my hotel stay to here thinking I could store my luggage while I toured the exhibition on the last day. I needed to leave at 4.30pm to head to the airport but told that they couldn't commit that anyone being around to to open the door for me to take out my luggage as check out time was 12pm sharp. No late checkout is allowed. Checked in was only 2 -3 pm only as counterstaff wanted to go home early that day. I reached around 11am and had to leave luggage there and come back again at 2.30pm. I'm fine with the staff having to leave early due to an prior appointment but you could then be flexible and allow me to check in at 11am. Hence my trip at the exhibition at Spice Arena was interrupted by running back to check in and then heading back to the exhibition after that. Counter staff was not really friendly. I was doing more of the greetings then her. Since this felt like a prison cell, her role probably was a prison warden. Only plus point was the water cooler(hot water available) in the reception but couldn't get a hot drink as no cup was available there. Only plus point- In the evening if you bother to walk opposite Spice Arena, there is a food centre called PISA Centre which offer good and reasonable food. Sadly in the morning, it is closed and finding a reasonable breakfast is out. Nearest housing area choices were not that great! No mall nearby too. Hence if you have to stay here, remember to BYO things especially a cup.
