Our party of eight booked three rooms ( 2 triple and 1 twin) for 2 nights from 15 - 17 sep 06.
we arrived at the hotel at about 12.30 and were made to wait about 45 mins for our rooms to be ready. but considerig that the official chek in time is 2 pm, we cant really gripe about this.
we were given rooms in the 'garden' wing. and this is just about my only area of criticism. one of our members had previously stayed at this hotel and was given a room in the 'tower' wing, which was considerably larger. as were going to be needing extra beds, we should have been given tower wing rooms. but other than this, the hotel cannot be faulted.the location is superb. right in the middle of the beach road, across the main beach, with all the bars and shopping and entertainment areas within easy walking distance.
the breakfast spread was nice, and is open till 11AM, which is a boon for late risers.
the rooms, although a bit cramped for three, were decent. the decor was simple yet pleasing, the aircon, bedding, were all upto satisfaction. we tried the tradiotional massage in their massage parlour and would recommend the experience to anyone after a hard day. the hotel has two pools, and both are great for relaxing and lazing about in.
the hotel is very strict about the freebies taken from the room and during checkout sends out someone from housekeeing to check if all the amenities are intact.
overall, the hotel offers very good value for money and i would not mind staying here again, if they offer me the tower wing.
