The location is beautiful but the friendliness of the staff is what is really special at this hotel. They are so kind and attentive and nothing is too much trouble. We travelled with our little kids and they loved the waterslide and the kids club and had a great time at the stingless bee tour at the reserve on site. The breakfast buffet in the morning was so nice and catered to both eastern and western palates (but try the chicken noodles soup as part of breakfast buffet located outside near the self-serve coffee - it's really great!).

    Excellent location within walking distance to eateries, malls and the jetty for island-hopping. Staff were exceptionally warm and hospitable - 5 stars to them! The pool was a great place to unwind on a humid afternoon. The view from the café was just perfect, overlooking the sea. Would definitely return the next time I'm in KK.
