10/10 Excellent
"Despite the resort being quiet, this has got to be one of the best holidays we've had. Food everywhere has been excellent, service amazing - staff are so friendly and helpful, its been so nice getting to know everyone!
The room was lovely and cleaned every day to a high standard
Would highly recommend and will most certainly be back!"
"Horrible. Would not recommend. Very loud outside and construction going on. Gave us earplugs at check in. Had to leave one day early because couldn’t sleep properly. Fridge doesn’t work either"
"We had a great stay at this hotel. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the service throughout our stay was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better.
A special thank you to Suda, Nisal, Fol, Chanan, Akhil, and HK for going above and beyond to make our stay so enjoyable—their hospitality truly stood out.
Breakfast had a good variety and everything tasted fresh. The airport transfer was smooth and convenient, which we really appreciated.
Overall, it was definitely worth the money, and we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area."
"Location is very central. Easy to walk for tourism, meals, etc. Gym is close by and excellent. Calls to prayer are loud so bring earplugs if you don’t want to be awakened by them."
"We were very impressed with our stay. Our shuttle driver was incredibly apologetic about being late to get us at the airport despite it being beyond his control (traffic accident). For there, we were greeted by a very pleasant and helpful young woman who explained everything we needed to know for our stay over a welcome "cold lemon tea" that was absolutely delicious. Despite arriving very early for our check-in time, they were able to get us into our room early.
Our room was an ocean view and we were thrilled. It was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. Some may have concerns about the flooring (the seams were separating in some places) but it didn't bother us.
We walked the area and always felt very safe, explored stores and restaurants but still returned to the hotel to eat 4 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinners). We cannot say enough about the food - we were very impressed (selection, cost, quality, and quantity). Overall, we'd definitely stay again."
