I wish I could review the hotel (5) and the room (2) separately. The lively, resort-like hotel has lovely staff, a great breakfast, live music, and is surrounded by bars and little restaurants. It’s a minute walk to the public lagoon pool and about 8 minutes to the boat if you’re going snorkeling with Reef Magic. Room 907 in the esplanade tower looks nice, has a comfy bed and a big balcony. Unfortunately it smells horrible. Damp, musty, sweaty…nasty. Perhaps it’s seasonal? I’m here at the end of November. The balcony (nice view if you don’t look down) overlooks the roof of the night market, which has VERY loud AC units. The hotel is lovely. Room E907 is not.
Breakfast. Avocado on gluten free toast which I requested when I arrived at the buffet.
Sunrise seen from room E970 balcony
A lot of noise on the E907 balcony from the night market air conditioner

Everything was great. The bed is super comfortable and all the facilities are perfect. The only thing I’d say is there was a mould smell in our room when the aircon was on.

This was an incredible place! We felt like absolute royalty staying here. The only reason I haven’t given five stars is because our room had an odd smell. It smelt like there was a water leak somewhere (that mouldy damp smell). We only stayed one night and alerted staff when we left. I’d think that would be an isolated incident and you’d live your stay here.
