Excellent Stay with Great Amenities

generous buffet convenient service
I found the breakfast buffet to be generous, offering many choices. Drinks and food service near the pool were convenient, although somewhat expensive. I also appreciated the location, near a market for souvenirs and the night market.
I found the lack of proximity in our requested rooms to be a notable oversight. Our request for rooms was not honored, even though it was due to elderly and children's medical needs, and was specifically asked for upon arrival.
Service

The staff demonstrated good hospitality and attended to guests' needs effectively. Breakfast service was commendable, with the employees showing a warm smile, and also proving very helpful to children.
