    3 / 5 Okay
    It was just an average hotel.. the location and the pool was awesome. Right on the beach. But the food and cleanliness is terrible. Breakfast was just bad, food is tasteless. My room had blood stain on the shower curtain and had stains on the sheet. It didn’t really bother me cos I was only sleeping on one of the beds but if I had another person sleeping on the stained sheet, that would be unacceptable. Room service only changed the sheet but didn’t clean the bathroom and the rest of the room. The balcony is nice, overlooking the beach but filthy.…

    Beautiful place with great architecture. Unique suite design. Love the attentive service. Lots to do. There are two swimming pools, long stretch of beach, plenty of greens, bamboo bicycles, tennis, golf etc. Only small comment is that I was hoping the pool had opened earlier as I like taking a morning swim. Also if they had smaller sizes bikes, as it was too big for my petite wife. Otherwise, a great place to relax. …

    Second visit to the hotel, was upgraded to sea view room but that could have been due to the higher price we paid for the room through Expedia (compared to our first visit). There were many families with young children staying and breakfast was a little chaotic with the unsupervised younger guests cutting queues and not respecting social distancing. Perhaps the hotel staff could take the role of the ‘absent‘ parents to ensure that other guests are not inconvenienced by the younger guests running all over the place which could have caused minor accidents.…
