unfriendly staff unaccommodating staff

The room was spacious. It was super clean and cozy!

The staff was unfriendly. They were also unaccommodating. I told a client to drop by with a business proposal. I gave his vehicle details to the reception. When he arrived, the security did not have his details. They did not let him in. I lost a great deal. I am furious.

Absolutely Wonderful Stay!

polite staff great food quality helpful effort

The staff were polite and always tried to. The food quality was great and I especially enjoyed the themed nights. I am also grateful to the staff who helped find my daughter's lost phone. Their effort made our vacation lovely.

The room's soundproofing was not good. I could clearly hear the guests upstairs walking on the floorboards. If my neighbors smoked, the smell permeated into my room.

Dining

9/10

The resort features two main restaurants that offer a good selection of authentic food. Themed nights, like the Satay night, add a special touch to the dining experience. Chef Ann and her team guide guests through the menus. The steamboat offered a great variety of super fresh fish.

Facilities

The resort boasts a clean beach and a lovely pool area, which provides a refreshing escape. I participated in a cookery class and a market visit, both led by MK. Scuba diving refresher courses are available and are professional.

The Serambi Double or Twin Room was spacious. The resort includes mosquito spray and balm in the rooms. Fresh water is provided in the room and at the pool. The room was very well equipped with a fabulous view of the sea.
