Hotel was very clean with good amenities. View of the ocean nice pool. The biggest issue was no restraunt on site. Needed to walk about 2 km down the beach to nearest restraunt. Food was just okay.
Response from Property: Initial have one restaurant there but due to the management not allow to open any restaurant there, therefore close down. Sorry for the incovenience, in the new futures you may purchase some food to cook there or require to call food delivery! Thanks

Room look liked it hasn’t been stayed for long.. Shower is not working well, no floor rug was provided, Surrounding also looks not well maintained, fallen leaves everywhere.. Reception opened until 7pm only, road to the place is also very dark. Stayed in a room with sauna and jacuzzi which is luckily working. Very very quiet place and near the beach for beautiful sunset view.
Response from Property: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, beach proximity, and that the sauna and jacuzzi in your room were working well. The sunset views truly are something special here.We’re sorry to hear about the concerns you experienced, including the shower, missing floor rug, and the condition of the surroundings. Your comments have been shared with our maintenance and housekeeping teams for immediate follow-up.Our reception currently operates until 7pm, but we are always reachable via phone or message for any urgent needs. We understand the road leading in can feel quite dark, however pleased to inform that, the road light is not under our management as it is been handled by different management, we will address this issue to the other management for further action.Some of our units are older, and we offer them at a lower rate, while we also have fully renovated units available upon request for a more upgraded experience.Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a much-improved stay.

- from the time we checked in after our hike, we were told we had to walk to our room cause there wasn’t a driver. But luckily the receptionist managed to get us one.
- checked in. Whole apartment smelled funny. Ceiling had stains. Cupboards smelled bad. Fan in the hall wasn’t working, AC in the hall wasn’t working either cause batteries needed to be replaced. AC in the room wasn’t cold. Toilet supplies were incomplete. And there was a cockroach in the toilet. Maintenance ppl did come to try and fix the fan but couldn’t. So they gave us another room.
- the other room was slightly better but still not good enough. Bed was creaking and sheets had stains.
- only thing I liked was that the beach was nearby.
- overall just not worth the price. Quite far out from town and so inconvenient to have to walk from the reception to the room.
Response from Property: Thank you for your review. We sincerely apologize to hear that you had an unpleasant stay due to our room condition; we will address this matter with the housekeeping and engineering department. Your comment would assist us in improving the facility and services.

The hotel was the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. The surroundings were stunning, and we enjoyed our time at the hotel.
We were delighted by the large pool facing the beach. We could just walk right to the beach after taking a dip in the pool.
The staffs were very pleasant. They were welcoming and accommodating. The housekeeping staff was efficient and attentive. Everyone was caring about our needs to ensure that we were enjoying our stay.
Response from Property: Dear Sarah,Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had a relaxing getaway and enjoyed the stunning surroundings, large pool, and easy beach access.

5. The floor literally dirty (too much sand)
6. No WiFi so I had to use mine but the internet coverage was very poor (maxis)
7. The rusty lamp at the balcony also didn't work.
Strengths:
1. The beds are really comfortable.
2. The AC works well.
