The hotel was less than 10 room occupied and yet i c't check-in slightly earlier than 3pm. I have requested for mosquito netting on my bed via email. The hotel acknowledge.....but this was not given to me or reflected on the booking request. The room corridor light were not turn on during the evening (i guess to save electricity due to low occupancy) and we have to walk in darkness using the HP torch light. The lift near my room was also switch off throughout our stay. (again for saving electricity). My purpose of this stay was to check out the function room for my company retreat..... but during my enquiry via email to room reservation i was told to contact the reservation@sandandsandals.com myself for function room booking.... instead of them getting back to me or arrange for a site visit. The room rate that was quoted to me for this stay was much higher than if i book online thru room booking platform. Overall was a bad experience in this hotel.

It's definitely a good stay! As this is our second time to the resort, we really enjoyed the bedroom especially with the poolview - and it comes with a nice big comfy bed and sofa bed. The check-in staff was awesome! They were so quick and I breeze through my check-in and the staff were really attentive and accommodating to my requests. An amazing thing happened, we were singing a birthday song at the balcony for my daughter, and when we ordered room service the next time, the hotel gifted us a complimentary brownie cake. It was such a lovely gesture and surprise for my girl. We were caught offguard by such a thoughtful gesture... Anyway, we would come back again, especially as the kids love the beach, pool and room with the bathtub. The only thing I would recommend is that the place does need a touch-up here and there (some paint peeling off, etc). Otherwise, an awesome stay. Thanks to all the staff and management.

Weekend stay
The hotel stay was ok. Rooms are spacious with beautiful seaview. Minus points are the restaurants. The Chinese restaurant service was really bad. Maybe due to lack of staff. Food came about an hr late and the dimsum was not served hot. The western restaurant’s lights were too dim that we have to use our phone’s torch to read the menu. Most of the arcade games are out of service. Golf is a little pricey and the hotel should upkeep and maintain it well.
