I had a mixed experience at the resort. The ocean wing room was fabulous with an incredible balcony view, and the breakfast was outstanding. However, I was troubled by an issue with my credit card upon check-in and encountered an unpleasant surprise in the bathroom. Overall, the resort offers a beautiful setting and great amenities but could improve its handling of guest payments.

I had a wonderful anniversary stay at this resort, where the staff truly made my experience memorable.

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.
