Free parking is available, though one older review notes an additional RM10 charge was levied separately.

How close is it to the beach?

Close enough for easy access; one review notes a waterfall is also near the property.

Bayu Emas Apartment

3.7(73)✓ Google-verified

Bayu Emas is a beachfront apartment complex in Batu Ferringhi where the gap between promise and delivery depends heavily on which unit you book. Some guests report immaculate, well-equipped rooms steps from the beach; others encounter filthy shared spaces, dusty floors, and pest problems. The building exterior is consistently described as dated and abandoned-looking, and an undisclosed RM10 nightly parking fee frustrates visitors.

Recent visitors praise the clean rooms, beachfront location near food stalls, and comfortable fit for groups of up to seven. Older reviews cite poor maintenance, broken appliances, and neglectful staff as serious issues.

Reviews span from one to five stars with limited detail. Guests who were satisfied praised cleanliness and comfort; however, sparse written feedback makes a full picture hard to assess.
