The staff were so lovely and very accommodating! After a flight delay that had us checking in at 5am, they made sure we were looked after and comfortable. The room was lovely and exceeded our expectations.

We stayed at the Ocean Wing in a family room which was amazing. We have been pampered from arrival to departure time. We have enjoyed a lot the reserve and even saw hornbills there, by just wandering few minutes in it. The hotel also organises very interesting hikes in its own reserve. The staff is outstanding, incredible courtesy.

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.
