I booked a pool villa and another sea view villa for my friends. As a seasoned traveller, this hotel is really a hit or miss. If you're lucky, you get a room with perfect views of the sea in front. But as for my friends and I, I'd say we got a partial view (considering it was rather blocked by trees for my friends).
Private Pool Villa:
Though the private pool villa was supposed to be (as stated) private, the room given had a balcony and pool in which everyone at the spa reception was looking at us when we were swimming. There's even a room beside us in which their balcony gave them an unblocked view of us in the pool 🤡.
Do note that as the property is rather huge on a hilly terrain, it is tough for them to clean your rooms, and as such, the pool is rather dirty. There were people who came to pick the leaves above, but the small particles of dust and what not underneath were seen circling around when we tried to swim.
Breakfast Spread:
Breakfast is decent. There was nothing much here because there was nothing noteworthy except the croissants and bacon, which was really crispy and dripping in oil.
Reception Service:
On our check-in date, the male service staff who attended to us was a sweetheart. He accommodated our requests for earlier check-in and was all smiles.
On a side note, huge big fat no to the lady who helped my friend checkout of him room. Literally, IT WAS RAINING for days, and they needed the umbrella to travel to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. Their staff kept the umbrella and never returned it when we asked for it (probably because they were busy with their breakfast service). But upon checkout, when we told the lady about the umbrella, she gave an attitude within this statement "So did you find umbrella? Yes or No?" It was like she wasn't listening to what we even said ... Only after we tried to leave a review to leave an HONEST opinion did she tell us it was fine. Horrid experience with her.
All in all, I'll recommend booking a normal Seaview room or the spa room! Spa room would be amazing if you get rooms with unblocked views. Enjoy your stay, and stay safe if you're reading this! 🥰
