It was very clean, and the staff was extremely helpful. Free luggage storage is a great option! My bed was also very comfortable. A lot of amenities were available including cosmetics and earplugs.

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!

Vast breakfast buffet was excellent, but would recommend to go earlier to avoid crowds. Rooms were very spacious and we were celebrating our honeymoon and staff made lovely touches to the room to welcome us! Amazing gym with lots of equipment and tennis and pickle ball courts. Spa was great too.

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.
