"Good location, nice water view, pool, comfortable rooms. But the buffet breakfast needs some attention. It was very busy and having just one (working) coffee machine for1 00+ people is just unacceptable. You either have to wait or pay extra for a handmade one. Not very luxe."

10/10 Excellent
"The bathrooms could be modernised however in saying that the rooms were wonderful and clean, well equipped. The staff were always friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We had a clean and refresh of towels and cleaning products like laundry powder and dishwashing liquid midway through our stay (despite only staying 6 days) which was extremely helpful and nice. The hotel itself is situated in a great location; walking distance to the pier, night markets, lagoon, casino, countless restaurants and shops."
