I like the fake creepers wrapped around pillars and covered the ceilings. Very nice touch. This time we got a very clean room with strong air-con. Breakfast buffet spread have a good variety and taste good but one let fown is the coffee. Need to improve the quality of the coffee. Service staff are very polite, cheerful and helpful.

Everything was good, room is spacious and pool was great! Really enjoy the beach that is just right in front of you. The only thing I suggest for improvement will be the floor of the hotel room can be cleaner, feel like they sweep the floor but did not mop the floor. Overall we still enjoy our stay here!
