"Security - Worried about safety? Theres a guard at the street entrance, a guard in the lobby, a carded door lock to the elevators, a key to the front gate of the patio then a key to front door. Security cameras all around as well.
Spotless, that pretty much describes the whole place. Very clean, I didnt expect to find such a nice place in Penang. Also, its more spacious than it appears in the pictures. Kitchen has most everything you would need. Pots and pans, silverware, plates, etc. There were plenty of bath/hand towels as well.
My only issue with this place is the bathroom and shower. There is nothing to prevent water from splashing all over the bathroom while you shower, so you learn to use lower pressure. Also, the tile bathroom gets VERY slippery when wet. I bought a few cheap $2 bathroom mats tho, and that was no longer a problem.
In the end, the place far exceeded the value of what I paid and I was very happy with it. Things like the bathroom were just a minor nuisance. If you dont need the services a hotel provides, I definitely recommend this place. In fact, I felt safer here than my last trip when I stayed at Traders hotel (no employees coming in and out of your condo to clean every day)
One last thing, I was met by the owner upon arrival at the condo. Very nice and friendly, was very good at answering all my questions via email before arriving as well." Review by Josh from US

"We had a really great stay at Coastal Towers. Raymond was excellent to deal with - very prompt and helpful and the property manager had the apartment all set up for us. We were very impressed with the groceries stocked on arrival and all the thoughtful details. Tanjung Bungah is a great location - close to all attractions. We did have a car, which made it easy to get around. Our kids really enjoyed the swimming pool." Review by Dawn from Perak

"We just wanted to thank you so much for a great 5 week stay in your lovely clean apartment in Penang. Suited us very well and so appreciated the Astro TV connection to allow us to keep up to date with the international news. We forgot to mention on leaving that one of the best points is your apartment gets only the early morning sun and thereafter is in the shade - a big plus is that you don't have direct sun beating into the lounge area during the day like so many other apartments!!
Catching the super new buses just down the road into Georgetown was a breeze and we found the walk back up the hill was worth it as we ate rather well and a good walk was what we needed! You should mention to your future clients that there is an eating area just down the road to catch the bus which is jam-packed every lunchhour with an excellent choice of delicious foods. Choose what you want and they charge accordingly.
The management kept the communal pool and gym area very clean throughout our stay which we appreciated. We found very few people used the pool in fact and often had the whole area to ourselves. We are safely back in Dubai and just wanted to thank you for all the attention to help make our stay so enjoyable." Review by Richard & Shirley from UK

"My girlfriend and I stayed for 10 days at this apartment over Christmas and New Year 2009/10. The apartment is of a high standard with a sea view over the floating mosque below and a welcome sea breeze. Arranging the rental was very straightforward and when we requested an extra few days around new year, the response from the landlord was prompt, friendly and amenable. I would recommend the apartment to couples and small families who are looking for a little peace - not slap bang in George Town or Batu Ferringhi. As such a car would be helpful as it is a short distance to both these places and their associated amenities. That the apartment comes with a dedicated car parking space makes this an even more attractive option.
Recent upgrade works at the Coastal Towers condo have improved the communal reception areas and the pool area, which is very nice to relax in after a session in the onsite gym (complete with new equipment). Details such as welcome comestibles, bathroom cosmetics, fluffy towels, wifi internet (via USB dongle) and satellite TV are all a nice touch. In my opinion better value for money than similar apartments available nearer Batu Ferringhi beach or in George Town." Review by James from UK
