Verdict
Bon Ton Resort has eight antique Malay wooden villas, each 100 to 120 years old, about 5 minutes from the main beach at Pantai Cenang. The Laguna villa looks over a lagoon.
Cats and dogs are welcome at no extra charge, and a guest review mentions an animal shelter on site. Check-in runs from 3 pm to 11 pm, and the resort is a 10-minute drive from the airport.
The catch is that there is no beach at the resort. One guest review mentions the call to prayer from a mosque at dawn, and another insects in the open huts.
Good for
Couples who want a small place with old Malay houses, and travellers with a cat or dog.
Not for
Anyone who wants to step straight onto a beach, or light sleepers.
