great locationfriendly staffcomfortable bedold hotellow water flowunreliable aircon

The location is great. It is within walking distance of shops and eateries. The staff were very courteous. They were always friendly. The room was spacious. The bed was comfortable. Toiletries were well provided for.

The hotel felt old. It showed its age. The area in front is not nice. The pool and rooftop bar closed early. The shower had low water flow. The air conditioning was unreliable. It was either too hot or too cold.

The location offers AMAZING views across the South China Sea. The room featured a rainfall shower, which I definitely enjoyed. The pool was clean and had a nearby bar. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful.

The hotel hallways and rooms seem a bit dated. The carpets could use replacement too.

The breakfast included a wide variety of options. Live cooking stations offered fresh choices. I found Indian vegetarian options in abundance. Everything tasted great. The spread kept me full for a long time.

The air conditioning in my room was a little temperamental. But it did not affect my stay.
