OYO Rooms - accommodation in Malay

Was hesitant about this property as my family (being from Canada) has quite a high standard... I will get flak if I booked substandard accommodations... But Fairways didn't disappoint. It was pretty far from the port which made me nervous bec. I already hear whining from my wife but once we were in the room and settled in after an afternoon of walking around Station 2... I heard my wife say, I love this room (we were assigned a Premier Grand room in Bldg 9) which coming from her is quite rare... As I only hear those words when I have paid an extravagant amount of money at a 5-star hotel. She quite enjoyed the restaurant downstairs that had a pool and had live music whilst enjoying dinner during the evenings. She also loved the shuttle rides on the golf carts which bussed people around the property. The private beach was great as well ... Only minor complaints were we had to ask for extra towels, hand towels, face towels and kleenex which were not available when we got to the room.

Breakfast was solid—about half the time we ate there (2 out of 4 days), it was really good. The room itself was excellent value: very spacious, well laid out, and easily a 10/10. Having the market, Mercury, restaurants, department store, and more all within the hotel was extremely convenient. The location is a bit away from the beaches and main tourist areas, but it worked well for us—and we actually enjoyed the extra walking. The staff was helpful overall, though the split front desk setup created some confusion. The check-in process also felt a bit outdated—an app or online pre-check-in would streamline things and eliminate the unnecessary lines. We would definitely stay here again. It’s a bit of a tough rating—4 feels too low, but 5 feels slightly high in some areas. Overall, though, it’s a great value for what you get.

So close to the beach. Great pools.
