Perfect for Families

With young kids, I found the resort to be a haven for family fun! The kids' club was wonderfully inviting, and my children thoroughly enjoyed the various activities offered. There were also plenty of spacious play areas and pools tailored for their age group, which put my mind at ease while allowing them to play freely. The recreation service was particularly commendable for catering to all of their needs.

I had a fantastic stay at this luxurious resort, beautifully secluded from the busy areas of KK. The ocean view room was spacious and private, offering a great atmosphere for relaxation. The staff were exceptional, contributing significantly to our memorable experience. However, the dining options for vegetarians were somewhat lacking, and the beach wasn't ideal for swimming due to jellyfish. Overall, I would still highly recommend this place for its cleanliness, friendly service, and facilities.
