    great pool
    delicious breakfast
    lack of evening activities

    We had a fantastic time enjoying the pool with its fantastic depth, making it perfect for swimming and splashing around. Also, the complimentary towels by the pool were a nice touch. I loved the local food selection at breakfast—everything was delicious!

    My kids wished for more activities in the evenings, like games or movie nights. It would help keep them entertained.

    lush view
    great amenities
    lacking room service

    My stay here was really nice, especially with the lovely view of lush greenery from my room and the great workout I had at the well-equipped gym. The heated swimming pool was a perfect spot to unwind after a long day. Just a heads up, I found the room service food a bit lacking, but overall, it was a fantastic experience! 🌟

    peaceful escape
    lovely atmosphere
    outdated areas
    inconsistent food

    The atmosphere was lovely, providing a peaceful escape, and the pool was a highlight for my family. However, some areas seemed outdated, from the musty room smells to inconsistent food quality at the restaurant. Service was friendly, but improvements are definitely needed in several aspects.

    beautiful pool
    spacious rooms
    helpful tour desk
    poor packed lunch

    Just had an awesome group trip with friends! The pool was beautiful, and we also enjoyed the children's playground while the tour desk helped us plan our adventures. The rooms were spacious and the air conditioning worked well. The breakfast spread was decent, keeping our energy up for the day ahead.

    One downside was the lunch we got packed for our drive. it didn't taste great, with cold hamburgers and fries. Really not the best choice.

    Our family had a great time during our stay while visiting the stunning Turtle Island and the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. The pool area was fantastic, especially with the slides that kept my daughter entertained. The room was spacious and well-maintained, offering a view of the pool that we appreciated after long days of exploration.

    inviting atmosphere
    transportation assistance
    senior accessibility

    The hotel beautifully blends old colonial charm with modern comforts. I particularly enjoyed the spacious lobby that overlooks the lovely pool, making it very inviting for seniors like myself to relax and unwind.

    More assistance with transportation for seniors would help.
