Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Loved the range of amenities - although the spa was sold out the entire time we were there which was unfortunate. The sunset bar was my absolute favourite place to be!

The hotel itself is great. Itโ€™s situated next to the sea and the views are just amazing. However, we canโ€™t say the same for their service. From the get go, no one offered to help us with our luggage when we arrived, and yet have the audacity to point the ramp to us, so we can wheel the bags ourselves. The check in lady was mediocre-friendly, at best. The pool side service from Coco Joeโ€™s is a joke. The staff themselves had no idea what is going on, most of the time. No one came to serve us, so we decided to walk over there to place the order. Someone came when the food came and they had no clue what is going on, as we can see them bickering among themselves. Service at this hotel is definitely lacking, especially for a 5 star hotel.

Super nice hotel right on the front.
Stayed for five nights following a 10 day jungle type trip. Lovely hotel with excellent, friendly and very polite staff. Itโ€™s right on the water front and has its own little beach. Fab location. It has its own Star Marina pier with a wide variety of water sports and boat trips available. We only used the restaurant (Cafe Tatu) for breakfast as we prefer to mix it out in KK in the evening. The breakfast was excellent with a massive variety of food from Malaysian, Chinese and European. The only thing lacking was perhaps a wider variety of fresh fruit. Some real exotic stuff would have been brill. Maybe this is seasonal? Nice pool area right on the front. Smart gym, super nice spa with all manner of treatments. This is a big hotel and is furnished beautifully throughout. It is set out to allow ease of access to all areas and it works. I wouldnโ€™t hesitate to stay here again. The sunsets are amazing and you can stroll straight from the hotel all the way down the beach. Checkin and checkout was simple and our Hotels.com booking was immediately recognised.
