We booked this hotel to enjoy the KKCD and new year's countdown and fireworks and we made no mistake, it was indeed a memorable stay and we will cherish the memories forever. From the bottom or our hearts, Thank you for everything!
Our room was Deluxe Twin with Sea View. The view is breathtaking ~ Night or day! The WIFI coverage is excellent both for our devices as well as the smart TV. The room as well as the bathroom is in good size and well equipped. Everything good is near and in walking distance. Buffet breakfast was fantastic! I highly recommended this hotel for all travellers. I would even try to book the same room in near future!

I always love it here but this time my room is smaller and the layout of the room is as not as usual. Regardless, I had a good stay. Kudos to the idea of putting fairy lights at the pool, it looks pretty at night 👍🏻 Definitely will come again!

This shared tour boat is good. I think the best island is Manukan because it is biggest with places to swim, also a good restaurant (belong to resort inside). Water is so clear, you can see fish when you swim. Manutik and Sapi is smaller. I dont think I will pay more time on those 2 islands, personaly.
