Honest Review of InterContinental Hotel
The hotel has potential, but overall didn’t meet expectations.
Pool: View ruined by an ugly restaurant roof not shown in booking photos. Kids’ pools were identical — one good for 3–5 yrs, but too shallow for 5–8. Adult pool was too deep. Many seats lacked cushions, uncomfortable for parents who have to sit for hours watching the kids play in the water.
Gym: Missing cable crossover and pull-up bar. No bench press either, though free weights were available. Limited training variety.
Breakfast: French toast, pancakes, and beef omelet were great. Iced latte was excellent. Dining area was beautiful. But bread options were limited, and butter was rock hard from being stored on ice. No sliced vegetables to make a proper sandwich.
Room: Nice upgrade, but insulation was poor. Wind noise scared our kids, kept them awake. Great view and AC, but bad sleep ruined it. Kids couldn't sleep and they felt it was like a horror movie.
Kids Club: Great for under-7s. Our 6-year-old loved it. Not enough for older kids.
Shower: Water pressure was weak — showers took forever. Strange for a 5 star hotel to have this weak water pressure on the shower.
Wi-Fi: Decent, but not top tier.
Minibar: Overpriced — felt like a trap.
Area: Loved nearby Icon Mall and Three Monkeys restaurant.
Overall Rating: 2.8/5. Wouldn’t return.
