LikedBig room, clean, staff at meet office and sea transfer very friendly .

DislikedFront office French ladies not smiling at all, maybe because we are Asian not European, only 2 service staff they is very attentive , one european guy and one Chinese ladies intern student. And breakfast chef always smiling and cook nice food Dinner : We order burger, spagheti and risotto, all 3 of this is salty, we never waste our food unfortunately due to health we decide not to finish the food. We still pay for that food but give the feedback to the staff. During breakfast, on 6/8 we order 2 ice latte but they never serve us.,

LikedThis was the holiday of a lifetime. A fantastic experience for all of us (2x 60+ somethings and 2x 20+ somethings). Carla and her entire team without exception were attentive, friendly, and each very interesting in their own individual way. From first impressions (the porter carrying a 25Kg suitcase from the landing boat up the beach to the hotel - on his head!!), through the welcome drink and Carla's very helpful introduction to island life, the food, and happy hour cocktails every day that you can set your watch by ready for the evenings activities along the beach (fire show, lots of excellent food, beach bars), will remain in our memories for a very long time - well at least until we return again!! The beach was a great blend of very clean, and lively enough to be interesting without overcrowding (the two weeks before Europe schools break for summer). So much to do too! We were here 8 nights and were busy right through, snorkelling with turtles, baby shaks (sic), little Nemo's and a whole host of other tropical fish. We were lucky enough to see, on two separate days, turtles come up the beach in front of the hotel to lay 100+ eggs (taken to a local sanctuary for hatching and release), and watch the mothers (Shirley Turts and Lily Shelby) make their way back to the water after dark. Amazing wildlife. A short day trip to Redang island was very worthwhile too - beautiful beaches. The boat boys (GreenBoys next to the hotel) were super helpful and friendly for all our excursions out to sea. We made a great number of ongoing social media friends on this trip. We used the spa on several occasions - June's massages were terrific after a long day in the sun and sea.

DislikedReally hard to think of anything we didn't like!

LikedWe enjoyed the breakfast, especially the ready to order meals but also the buffet. The room was very spacious and the a/c kept it always at relaxing temperatures. Everything was kept very clean. The speedboat ferry service (at additional cost) works exceptionally well and makes the crossing extra comfortable. The evening cocktail is a very nice touch as it also comes with a small snack.

DislikedThe outdoor bathroom is cool, but there are mosquitoes… Otherwise no complaints.
