Staff was exceptional, can't name them all but from concierge, front desk, restaurant staff, pool, housekeeping and the various F&B outlet staff - genuine, always with a smile and nothing is too much of an issue. The resort was what we, the family wanted. somewhere to relax and enjoy. We stayed in the Tanjung wing and the sunset was spectacular. My husband and I were in the deluxe sea view suite, and we would highly recommend. What we did like was that there was a kid friendly pool area and an adult pool area which suited us perfectly.

Breakfast - excellent, from western to local dishes. various choices of breakfast available for the guests to enjoy. Room - bed is comfy, quiet room, airon is auto on/off when we close/open the glass door, this is very thoughful. Pool - this is the reason we come here, kids enjoy the facility very much, this time the kids have chance to join the treasure hunt organised in the hotel area, staff is incredible friendly and polite to guest.

We wanted a few days/ nights luxury at the end of our 8 week trip to New Zealand and Borneo to relax & process our adventures. We wanted for nothing and the customer service from all staff was outstanding. Thankyou. The food selection at buffet breakfast was huge and delicious. We sampled a smaller poolside restaurant twice & had excellent food & service. Thank you Jennifer. We also tried the Ramadam dinner which was excellent too.

Everything! Staff are super friendly, location is wonderful. We saw sunset everyday.. it can’t get any better than this. Also if you would like to go to the island (Sapi is recommended), you can take the boat from Star Marina which is inside the hotel. The massage place Chi, was mind blowing! If you want to go shopping use Grab app and call a cab to Imago Shopping Centre only 10 mins from hotel.

We stayed for 3D3N and had their breakfast buffet everyday. The spread was incredible. It can get very crowded though, but we didn't have to queue whenever we go for breakfast. The resort offers plenty of things to do/see that is family-friendly, so you won't get bored. You may want to reserve certain things in advance before your trip (such as the spa) as they get booked out quickly.
