All the staff were kind, efficient and attentive. The room was as promised, large, clean, good air con, comfortable beds and, most importantly, a wonderful sea view. Plentiful daily fresh drinking water was provided in washable, refillable glass bottles, no plastic waste which is excellent. The soundproofing was good so the room was quiet. The swimming pool was a great bonus, we could swim and relax around the pool and just enjoy our luxury break after our Sabah jungle tour. Excellent all round.

    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.
