Henann Prime Beach Resort
10/10 Excellent
"My husband and I loved this hotel. The location was excellent for us; quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. The views from the hotel restaurant were stunning. Transportation to get anywhere was easily accessible, and the staff was always helpful. We had the beachfront access room, and every morning we were out on the balcony just enjoying the sound of the waves. During the sunset hours, it got a bit crowded but not as much as it would if you were staying by station 2. The grotto is about a 5 minute walk to the left of the beach. There weren't many beach vendors which is nice when you are trying to enjoy some peace and quiet. Massages were easy to book, and you can get them poolside or in your room. We will definitely be back again. "
"One of the best hotel in Station 2, from friendly and accommodating staff, to the breakfast buffet and hotel amenities. The Best Experience with Hennan"
"Second time staying here this year and they have added a speed boat and aircon van to their amenities which makes the entire experience worth it and seamless"
"Great customer service throughout the stay, just a short walk to the beach along D'mall. Me and my friend had a superb time, the highlights being the pool , which was right next to the bar so you can literally have drinks and meals whilst sat down in the water! The massage services were great and the breakfast buffet service served generously and with opulent smiles. Couldn't fault the hotel staff, they had been most accommodating from the moment we touched down the airport right till the end. Would be staying with family next time"
"A great hotel and a great location with excellent staff.The a la carte dining at the restaurant was amazing. Breakfast was good with a variety of options. rooms were a decent size and clean. It was very family friendly with lots of activities and amenities for kids. I did not travel with my children on this trip but would 100% bring them back to this hotel in the future.
Everything was within a short walk from the hotel and easy to reach by foot or an e-bike if you prefer.
The standout in this hotel is the staff. From the drivers to the reception staff, even the security guards are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The cleaning staff were always incredibly pleasant, proactive and very accommodating to different schedules."
