The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Fantastic Kids Club!

The kids club was the highlight of our stay. It engaged our children from morning until night with fun activities like cookie making and horse riding. They didn't want to leave! The staff were genuinely happy to be there, which made the experience even better. The separate game zone was a big hit too!

Delicious Dining Options

The variety at the buffet was amazing! I especially enjoyed the fresh Malay cuisine alongside delicious Chinese and Indian options. It was hands down the best buffet I've experienced. Special thanks to chefs Tom and Peter for their culinary excellence!

Stunning Ocean Wing Room

We stayed in the Ocean Wing, and the room was simply lovely! It had a private balcony with a bathtub, perfect for enjoying sunset views. The spacious layout made it feel luxurious, and the amenities were great. It was worth every penny!

I had a wonderful stay at this resort, especially in the Ocean Wing, which offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere away from the busier areas. The service was mostly excellent, but there were a few hiccups, especially during our first night. Dining options were generally good, but the seafood buffet left much to be desired. Overall, a beautiful place to unwind and enjoy some pampering.

I just returned from an amazing stay at this resort where I enjoyed a beautiful ocean view suite with stunning sunset views. The facilities were great for relaxation, and the beach was picturesque. However, there were issues with management communication and some outdated rooms. Overall, it was a delightful experience, especially thanks to the exceptional staff.

While the staff was attentive and the facilities were excellent, some aspects fell short, especially with the dining options being limited at times and the pricing for in-house items being quite high. The comfort of the rooms and the beautiful beach were notable highlights, but overall, I felt it was a bit pricey for what was offered.
