Was upgraded to King Suite.. by far the biggest and most comfortable hotel room I've ever stayed in! Do yourself a favour and book the King Suite.. you will absolutely feel like a king/queen. Excellent gym and pool facilities, food menu and cocktails were stellar.

Super nice hotel, very private location, but of course the hotel is big. We got a free upgrade to an ocean wing, which was really kind from the management and made our stay even much better, cause main pool sometimes crowded to be honest) Nice pools, greatest breakfasts, super helpfull staff, great ficilities. Everything in a good shape and quality.

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.
