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.
