Away from city life. Enjoyed the nature, sea, sand and sun. It is very calming. The staff are friendly and jovial. Thank you Fadzli and Jill(sorry guys if i spelled your names wrongly, and sorry to the rest as I did not catch your names). Met the owner, Hafiz, awesome guy. The place is so welcoming, even the cat named Tuxedo, rests on top of me while i was relaxing on the hammock. He makes me feel at home.

Customer service, cleanliness, room view, breakfast buffet, water slides and ability to allow the hotel to accommodate so I could truly relax and be taken care of. Nearby islands were only 10 mins away with a choice of 3. Beautiful snorkelling. The spa was mind blowing. The buffet extensive! The slides for my little boy were perfect. The customer service was exceptional. The way they fixed any issues was very good. We had brown water in our bathtub for a couple of hours and the staff gave us a late 6pm check out which tied in perfectly with leaving on a huge flying itinerary that night. Just what we needed. Plus, due to getting phone calls at 2am twice from the staff accidentally, the team were so stressed by it, and then offered a free Seafood buffet on the Saturday night. Definitely will be back.
