OYO 89887 Chalet Yunie — Hotel in Terengganu

We were looking for an economical quick holiday at Pulau Kapas before the exodus of the mid term school holidays. Found this little establishment through an online booking site that had quite fair reviews from their previous customers. Noting that it is within the OYO stable, boosted our confidence to make the booking. The reasonable price on offer for our two nights stay was also the deciding factor to us choosing this chalet. ||||Finding the chalet was not too hard, thanks to WAZE. We had a pleasant drive from Kuala Lumpur and upon entering the Marang Town, it didn't take us long to find the chalet. It is not clearly located by the main road, but it is clearly marked and sign posted. ||||Driving into the compound, it reminded us of the American motels where you can park your car right at the doorway of the semi detached chalets. Checking in through what seemed to be a make shift reception (which in my opinion, could have been made a little more welcoming then to look like someone's incomplete alfresco living room. No computer check ins, just the plain old register book. Old school! Oh, and mind you, they don't have credit card facilities here, so payments are either in cash or direct local bank online transfers. ||||The chalet we were assigned to was sufficient. It had a small patio with a sitting for 2, a tv with only local channels, air conditioning, and an en-suite bathroom. The basics. You can tell that the chalet is muslim-friendly as they have a rack of prayer mats in the room and I believe there is a musollah or mosque located just behind the chalet area. There is a very small outdoor kiddy pool within the facility, but its more like a dipping pool than for swimming. ||||Overall, Yunie Chalet in my opinion served its purpose well. After-all, we were not planning to spend our whole stay within the chalet as our main purpose was to spend the day on Kapas Island, whereby the jetty is less than 10 minutes away. And within the vicinity of the chalets there are plenty of restaurants, a few beaches to visit and the it is located between the small town of Marang, and a 20 minute drive to the bigger city and capital, Kuala Terengganu.||||Highly recommended and also good for a big family trip as the rates per chalet per night is quite reasonable at less than RM100 per...

For a budget chalet, the room was quite spacious and clean as expected of all lodging places. But the pleasant surprise in addition to the normal tv and basic amenities was the presence of a mini fridge here which some higher priced places do not offer. Locationwise its rather distant to the better beaches that are found in areas north of Kuala Terengganu, though nearby Pantai Kelulut is quite popular with the local folks due to presence of eating outlets...

Wonderful chalet!! Very clean and comfortable, the property grounds are well cared for and relaxing to sit and read. There are some small grocery stores nearby so you can bring some food to cook up in the outdoor kitchen. Ask for a bike and go for a ride around the peaceful neighborhood or walk across the street to the beach. Love...
