the hotel has a great location and excellent amenities. i enjoyed many water sports activities with my friends. the staff's courtesy is unbelievable. every staff member from the entrance to the exit is above expectations.
The mini-bar fridge in my premier sea view room was warmer than the actual room, despite the air conditioning running all night. the washroom was also clogged after taking a bath. It was unpleasant. i expected better for the price i paid.
