I had a pleasant stay overall, with a lovely sea view from my room and some friendly staff making my visit more enjoyable. However, the service really needs improvement as it was quite lacking, and the dining experience was frustrating at times. It's a great spot for families, but be prepared for some management issues if you decide to stay here.

My stay was quite mixed. The property has a nice beach view and spacious rooms, which made for a relaxing atmosphere, but the service really needs a boost. While there were some friendly staff members like Mr. Joel and Mr. Bala who made a positive impact, I encountered significant delays and issues during my dining experience. Overall, it's a decent place if you prioritize location and views, but the management leaves something to be desired.
