Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a basic room, potentially needing some upgrading, which may feel small for three people at the price paid. However, the service is top-notch, especially from attentive and helpful staff like Nurul, who goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay. The location, although part of a chain of resorts, provides easy access to a beautiful beach and convenient amenities. While the dining options are decent, they could use improvement and better hygiene checks. Overall, a mixed experience with room quality but exceptional service and location.
