The room was spacious, comfortable and the floor I was on had wonderful views over the water towards the islands and sunset. The staff were so helpful in arranging a local trip for me and allowing me to stay a bit longer when I had a late flight.

Everything! From the fantastic and super polite staff to the perfect location and the superb breakfast me, my husband and my 11 year old daughter had a fantastic time. The cherry on the cake was when staff offered complimentary water and ice-cream to those at the swimming pool. Just a lovely touch. Thank you!

There is nothing we didn't like about this hotel. The staff are very attentive and polite. The location is perfect. It is far from the city which we really appreciated. There is a huge beach and even a nature reserve in the hotel. They provide a lot of activities such as fireflies watching, horse riding, water sports, evening performance etc. There is a choice of several restaurants in the hotel. The buffet breakfast is great and the sunsets are breathtaking. We enjoyed both pools and our kids loved the bath tub on the balcony. We didn't mind aging furniture because the room was comfortable.

Excellent location within walking distance to eateries, malls and the jetty for island-hopping. Staff were exceptionally warm and hospitable - 5 stars to them! The pool was a great place to unwind on a humid afternoon. The view from the café was just perfect, overlooking the sea. Would definitely return the next time I'm in KK.
