Check-in time was okay, roughly around 10mins. Parking spaces provided. Room & toilet is spacious, clean and nice as shown in photos. Pool is huge & clean, jacuzzi is there but not functional at that time, there’s also a gym, spa and arcade centre open ‘till night. There’s a private beach. Breakfast food variety was okay & delicious but not worth the price. Check-out was smooth, only took us a minute or two. Overall, I would give a 4/5.

The resort is very quiet (not sure if it's due to low season and my checking in on a Wednesday night). The private beach is very good, quiet and only 1-2 pax around. The whole resort is quiet. For people who likes it peaceful and quiet, this is nice. The disappointment is in the TV (not working, zero channels working after technician troubleshoot for 10mins). This should have been avoided by ensuring simple things like TV is working well before guests arrival. The kettle in the room has a loose handle that could break off under the weight of a full jug. Hotel offered to change my room but I declined to save the hassle. Hope they can rectify these items for the next guest. Room 236. Breakfast spread is not the luxurious type but is adequate with strong local and nonya flavours, I am happy with it. The coffee and tea and juice needs improvement, though. The private beach makes up for everything. Overall, I am happy with it. 8 of 10.
