The staff were exceptionally polite, always willing to help, and went out of their way to ensure a pleasant experience.

Empire Brunei off season
LOVELY staff! Huge room w/a gorgeous balcony. The drapes were long enough, but not nearly wide enough to actually make the room DARK, so that was frustrating. The food wasn't great. Not bad, and again the service almost made up for it, but nothing was fantastic. Must say that the place was far more than 1/2 empty which made actually sitting at the pool DELIGHTFUL!

Overall this is a lovely place to stay and relax. The grounds are well looked after and swimming pools lovely. This place is NOT walking distance to anything; however, does have restaurants, cafe, and a country club. Definitely worth staying at least a night as the views are beautiful and main lobby/foyer is impressive. Unfortunately our stay was less than great due to no hot water in our room (yes we notified staff). Normally i would just manage and only mention it due to the price.

Really enjoyed our stay at this amazing hotel. Staff and service are great, everyone is friendly, attentive and helpful. We love the activities offered as well, cycling etc. one feedback is related to food option, there’s only one restaurant open so we had no choice but to go to one, hope there will be more opened in the future. Overall we had a great stay.
