“Good Facilities, Great Location, But Missing the Luxury Feel”

Aug 04, 2026Zak M

We stayed in the Grand Pool Access room, which is one of the best room categories at the resort. It was comfortable enough, but it didn't quite live up to our expectations. We chose it mainly because it was advertised as being larger and included a spa bath, but the room wasn't as spacious as we expected, and we never used the spa bath. The pool access was nice, although it didn't feel particularly private, and the beach view was only a small glimpse through the surrounding buildings and landscaping. One thing we did appreciate was the unique architecture. The resort has an interesting industrial-style design with impressive high concrete walls, which worked out were designed to help protect the property in the event of a tsunami. It certainly gives the hotel a distinctive look. There are several different pool areas, which is a plus, and having direct pool access from the room was enjoyable. However, the pools themselves weren't anything exceptional, and during our stay they were packed with children. Families would probably love the atmosphere, but if you're a couple looking for a quieter, more relaxing holiday, this may not be the best choice. The location is one of the resort's strongest points. It's an easy walk to plenty of restaurants, cafés and some excellent, affordable massage shops, making it very convenient to explore the local area. Overall, while we enjoyed our stay, we didn't feel this was a true five-star resort. We'd rate it closer to a solid four stars. It's a good option for families, but as a couple, we'd probably choose somewhere else next time.
