I suugest you try the Manderia has two good pools and is close to great shopping and restaurants and is on the beach - opposite Padma. Haven't stayed at Padma but have stayed at Mandira and it was great, no gym though - but hey who needs a gym when you've got shopping, you get all the exercise you need walking hte markets and carrying the shopping!!!!
My In laws stayed at the Pelangi in June and said it was "nice" but too far from the best shopping,it was their first trip so nothing to compare it to I guess. I have heard a few not so good reports about it lately though.
