Room was very huge. I think maybe 8 people can sleep in our room. The ocean view was amazing and the sunset was the best in my life. The elevators were very fast and the staffs are very kind.

Could be so much better - this is 3 or 4 start at best - Its missing the finishing touches that enhances guest experience - eg 1 hour for bags to be brought to room, food over priced and average - room aircon is not up to standard, not enough power outlets - in reality only one for guest use in the ...

We stayed in a Palm Villa and it was amazing. Loved everything about it, especially the breakfast delivered by boat. We spent a lot of time on our deck and in and out of the water. All staff were friendly and genuine. Food at all meals was great. Snorkeling around the property to look for giant clams ...

When built a few decades ago was probably very nice, but it’s now approaching the end of its useable life and unfortunately it has not been maintained or even cleaned much. Biggest disappointment was low quality but expensive food — and it’s a long way to town so you’re trapped. Even Grab gets in ...

Travelocity Verified Review
"The hotel is old but reasonable maintained. However the bath area is in urgent need for refurbishment/renovation - hand bidet holder is loose, WC takes ages to refill after a flush.
For a claimed 5-star hotel: one will be hard-pressed to find toilet tissue that is any thinner, only 1 tissue box, the mattress is old and sunken giving poor back support, TV only 40-inch.
One plus point is that their electrical switch controls have been wired well, unlike some hotels where it is totally confusing."
