effective securityample poolssatisfying breakfast
The hotel security guards patrolled the beach. This meant vendors did not bother guests. The children enjoyed the pools and playground areas very much. We found the breakfast and dinner service to be very good.
The gym only had a limited selection of equipment.

Excellent Family Holiday Experience

hotel securitycheeky monkeysold parts
I appreciated the hotel security personnel patrolling the beach. They ensured vendors did not disturb us. The staff also kept monkeys from stealing our snacks. My children enjoyed the playground and swimming pools very much. The food was good. Even picky eaters liked it, especially the grilled prawns with coconut rice from the beach restaurant.
The hotel facility needs a facelift. Some parts looked old. I think the management should refurbish to keep up with the 5-star rating and provide an enjoyable stay for all guests.
