Value for money. Room looks like it has been recently renovated. Cleanliness can be improved in the toilet and balcony area. On the whole, it was a comfortable stay. Breakfast was good enough. Beach was clean. Will be back to stay again!

ANN JEE

The rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. We booked 2 family rooms and 1 twin room and 1 of the family room is connected to the twin room which is great. For the price paid, it is value for money. One area that can be improved on is the breakfast which some food items are placed outdoors which tend to attract flies. Will suggest to include milo as a breakfast hot drink option noting that the resort has many families with kids.

Average stay
Stayed for one night. Arrive late at night. Parking is pretty far, full of mud due to rain and poorly lit. Room was average. When I arrived, the lift was under maintenence. Could be used to go up but need to use the stairs to go down. Definitely could be improved.
