 Entrance to the reception area

My first impression when I got out of the cab was am I at a spa resort? Such calmness and quietness….Or was it the timing.  Since we arrived at around 3-4pm local time most hotel guests would have been out island-hopping or strolling the streets.  Not forgetting also that it may be siesta time for many.  Nevertheless I can’t stop myself from gushing to my sister that this place exudes such a zen atmosphere!

Buffet breakfast is served with a wide selection of food though some reviews may say otherwise.  But it  is just my kind of breakfast.

The resort as viewed from the street

The best thing about this resort is of course its location.  As you can see McDonald’s, 7-11 and Starbucks are just right at the resort’s doorstep

All these within a little climb from our room since the resort is situated slightly on higher ground

And the other great thing about this resort is definitely the friendly and helpful staff.  Instead of helping me to order a cake they decided to give us a complimentary cake(with a little thoughtful card attached) to celebrate my sister’s birthday in advance.  Ain’t they just sweet!

So yes we had a remarkable stay at this resort hotel.
