Traveled with my wife, and I chose this hotel reading the reviews, and it did not disappoint. On a first impressions upon arrival, it was nice to be greeted and our luggage was take taken by the concierge, check in was really smooth, helpful staff and we were offered a nice welcome drink with wet towels, which was really nice in that heat.
The lobby area was quite impressive, large open plan area with views of of the beach and pool. Room was big enough, we had partial sea view deluxe on the 3rd floor, however it did not have balcony, which it seemed to have one floor down on the same room.
Bed was nice, firm and big, bathroom was clean with walking shower closet, however no tub. Water pressure was good, housekeeping was fantastic with our our extra requests met even in the late night!
There were two pool, one with a slide for kids and one for adults but be aware of the lizard monitors which sometimes tend to swim along on the side!
There were lots and lots of Arab tourists, which could be a bit overbearing, if you know what i mean, especially in the breakfast area. Breakfast choices were great, lots of local varieties with standard items, however the choices were pretty much same each day.
Gift shops on the lobby were not overly priced, some items on sale were even better priced than the adjacent night market.
There were lots of places to eat around within few mins walking distance. Shuttle bus to George town needs booking one day prior, however grab was pretty reasonable. Massage choices around the hotel was a bit limited, did not try the in house one!
The staff were in general great and very helpful, lots turn out to be Bangladeshi!
