We arrived at the hotel at 2:00 PM, but our room wasn't ready because we chose a room on the 6th floor. We checked in at 3:30 PM and were compensated for late check-out until 1:30 PM. We were also upgraded to a sea view room (taplau).
We waited while having lunch at the restaurant. We ordered a pizza and were very disappointed because it took so long to arrive and when it arrived, it wasn't fully cooked. We complained and had to get a new one. We waited even longer, but the pizza was still disappointing. The restaurant apologized and didn't let us pay when we went to pay.
It's very close to the beach (taplau). We arrived in less than a 5-minute walk.
The hotel's facilities, such as the prayer room and gym, are excellent. However, the swimming pool needs improvement. When we went to swim in the morning, there was no one on standby with towels, and it wasn't clear where to return them. The poolside chairs weren't ready and were still wet from the rain the night before. We had to ask the staff to clean them before everything was ready.
The breakfast menu is very varied, especially with West Sumatran specialties. However, the taste was rather bland. The availability of cooks in the egg and pancake/waffle sections should be increased, as there is only one cook who handles all the eggs and pancakes/waffles, resulting in long queues and long waits.
The in-room facilities should be re-examined, as the telephone in the room apparently didn't work due to a loose cable, requiring repeated re-checking of the connection before using the phone.
