CHUNGSIK, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Good choice for family trip

wide variety of swimming pool, wide garden with excellent view, well- managed spacious room as well. Good for a family with kids. But seems that the renovation in full scale is necessary since there are many parts and places seems very old.
JOONGWOO, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Very family oriented resort! Close to the Imago mall but it’s not walking distance. You can grab and go to everywhere very easily. There was no hair dryer in the room so I had to ask for one. Breakfast buffet was very superb with various options from Malaysian food to Korean.
Jihyun, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Some facilities are old. But not uncomfortable. View at the resort is really excellent.
Hyunjun, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

It was a great time for me with family but the response for request was not satisfied because support for requests took so long even several time calls.
Kwang-jun, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

Great hotel but 1 of the worse receptionist i've met. Most were great just 1 of them which I think is not experienced. Would not go back again.

2/10 Terrible

Internet is highly unstable, you can barely complete a call before internet disconnected. It’s very tough for people work while travel
Ze, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Need to improve

Great location, sunset view is good, great shower head But the room overall is a bit old, wifi is weak, the staff/room cleaner did not really clean out the leftover food from the last customer on the carpet

6/10 Okay

I found water leak from the bathroom to our bed area. #6217
Pg Hj Mohd Noor Mashadi Bin Pg Hj, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Just back from 2 weeks there. Overall pretty good, but some areas are tired. Some rooms have been refreshed but ours wasn’t one of them. Pool area needs more beds. Breakfast a little repetitive. Bar music needs more variety. Same cd every day for many days. Lounge music in evenings tooooo loud. Being a bit picky now.😄 Overall very good value.
Ronald, 13-night trip

8/10 Good

Some furniture a little aged. Bathtub stopper doesn’t work. WiFi is the absolute worst of any 5star hotel I’ve ever been in. Keeps kicking u out every time you closed the phone. Have to relog in EVERY time you turn on the phone. Cell signals sucks so u are reliant on the wifi. But overall great value for such a large oceanfront suite. Location cannot be beat. Amenity is awesome and views are great.
James, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We paid for an extra bed in a double room and three of us stayed in the room, but there were only two towels, no matter how many times we asked for more, they never came, so we had to use two towels for all three of us.
Makiko, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

At one point in this hotel's history it might have been a nice hotel, but not anymore. This is giant property that is quite nice, but the rooms and facilities are run down. It needs a renovation. When we arrived, the hot water was turned off. The service at the hotel was poor. They respond well to requests, but the initiative isn't there. Housekeeping was poor at cleaning the room. We had a suite and it wasn't stocked with enough towels. This is a 3.5 star hotel. For the price, I can't complain, but google and hotels.com have it listed as a 5 star hotel. I can see that at one point it might have been a 5 star hotel, but I don't think it is at the moment,
Roy, 6-night trip

4/10 Poor

Wi-Fi and management

Wi-Fi didn’t connect for 2days in the room. I called 10 times .They promised to fix in 30 minutes. But they didn’t show up and I couldn’t go out the room to wait for service man whole day. Second day noon time the technician came and said that my room Wi-Fi machine has broken. Fortunately the technician fixed it. So far nobody in management team apologized me in this matter.
INJOON, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

This place is fine but I’d say very much surface style over substance.
