From arrival to departure, our stay was perfect !! We loved it so much we extended our stay for 1 night. The staff is amazing , they working very hard to provide excellent service . I did book the room for my partner's Bday and they even spoilt us with little attention in the room . Thank you so much for making our stay special. And the bed ... Omg so comfy ! The pool is incredible, we were lucky enough to have it for ourselves few times . The hotel is brand new , the gym is well equipped and the bar is beautiful. Breakfast amazing . Sea view and forest view are both nice .

Amenities are great. They provide exceptional service and communication is top notch, the best I have encountered. Clean, comfortable and quiet. The lightings are switch on by touch. The Grab service would drop off sort of behind. That area in the morning is not accessible because of a myr$4 charge to enter for cars. Just walk to Takaful for pick up. At night, the boom gate is open. The foot bridge (10 mins) to the Waterfront near there too. Go to Welcome Seafood by crossing the road next to Nasi Lemak Kahwin and walk through the building to the other side.Great food and service. Watson is also across that road. Great to buy bottle water, medicine and toiletries.

I really loved the location and the room. It was very clean and everything worked perfectly. The staff is very responsive and helpful from the moment of the booking until checkout. They let us leave our luggage in the morning before checking in at 3pm. The area is full of cafe, restaurants, small shops and massage places.

    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.
