It located about 10 minutes from the airport. We had a layover, so stayed one night here. We have previously stayed at this resort and really liked it. The atmosphere is great!

    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.
