Great hotel but 1 of the worse receptionist i've met. Most were great just 1 of them which I think is not experienced. Would not go back again.

Very family oriented resort! Close to the Imago mall but it’s not walking distance. You can grab and go to everywhere very easily. There was no hair dryer in the room so I had to ask for one. Breakfast buffet was very superb with various options from Malaysian food to Korean.

wide variety of swimming pool, wide garden with excellent view, well- managed spacious room as well. Good for a family with kids. But seems that the renovation in full scale is necessary since there are many parts and places seems very old.

Just back from 2 weeks there. Overall pretty good, but some areas are tired. Some rooms have been refreshed but ours wasn’t one of them. Pool area needs more beds. Breakfast a little repetitive. Bar music needs more variety. Same cd every day for many days. Lounge music in evenings tooooo loud. Being a bit picky now.😄 Overall very good value.
Stayed 13 nights in Jan 2024

Some furniture a little aged. Bathtub stopper doesn’t work. WiFi is the absolute worst of any 5star hotel I’ve ever been in. Keeps kicking u out every time you closed the phone. Have to relog in EVERY time you turn on the phone. Cell signals sucks so u are reliant on the wifi. But overall great value for such a large oceanfront suite. Location cannot be beat. Amenity is awesome and views are great.

At one point in this hotel's history it might have been a nice hotel, but not anymore. This is giant property that is quite nice, but the rooms and facilities are run down. It needs a renovation. When we arrived, the hot water was turned off. The service at the hotel was poor. They respond well to requests, but the initiative isn't there. Housekeeping was poor at cleaning the room. We had a suite and it wasn't stocked with enough towels. This is a 3.5 star hotel. For the price, I can't complain, but google and hotels.com have it listed as a 5 star hotel. I can see that at one point it might have been a 5 star hotel, but I don't think it is at the moment,
