There is no signage for reception on arrival at this property. You have to ask the guy on the gate which way to go, then he has you do a semi check in there, which holds everyone else up trying to enter the property. After checking the room we decided not to stay, this hotel is definitely not a 4 star as advertised, more like a 2 star. Rooms are very run down. There was no lounges around the pool only table and chairs, which didn't make the area very inviting to sit around. The only facility it has is a small cafe, where the food is very average to say the least. Would definitely not recommend to anyone.

It is kind of inconvience for the stay as the area is huge, you need travel from one place to another just to get into your room. BUT you will surprise to see there is private steam room or jaccuzi in your master bedroom, which is first of it kind compare with other hotel suite. BUT then i am VERY unhappy with how they spam us with their never end whatsapp message. which they have NO RIGHTS to contact us in such way. Our phone number for sure has been abused. There is lot of other way to communicate with customer, but kindly ask for permission before you choose to do that, keep sending us repeated msg or even promoting your SPA with diffirent number does not help us felt we get spammed by the hotel. But staff are helpful here, sadly maybe the way how their management choose to operate included sending us all those unwanted message is questionable, kindly review. This is the first hotel that doing such, even AFTER we inform them please do NOT bothering us anymore but they STILL doing it.

이용 후기
정말 모든 것이 느리고 불친절 하였으며, 택시 불러달라고 한 갓도 시간을 틀려서 곤락하게 만들었고, 조식도 맛이 없고 방 바닥 청소가 잘 안되어 있어 발바닥이 금방 더러워지고 세면대 변기 등 뭉이 잘 내려가지 않아 너무 뷸편하였삽니다. 프론트 메니저는 시종일관 불친절로 대응 했고 경관과 경치는 좋은 것과 반대로 마음 편안히 지내러 갔던 곳에서 마음 불편하게 있다가 왔습니다.

Lovely idyllic setting, perfect for a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of the city. This was our second visit to this resort and I would not hesitate to come back again. Hopefully the SeaView cafe will be open then as this was a big favourite with my family. Highly recommended.
