The hotel offers wonderful water views and high-quality rooms that are beautifully designed and kept immaculately clean. The friendly and super helpful service from various teams enhances the overall experience. The prime location near Georgetown landmarks is a major plus, but encounters with bird droppings were a downside. Dining options are great, and the facilities are top-notch.

The hotel offers stunning rooms overlooking the ocean, but some other offerings are not up to par. The service was a mix of inattentive and excellent experiences. The location is first-class but needs some fun injected into it. Dining was a scrum but the food was good considering current limitations.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were very spacious and luxurious, featuring a king-sized bed, a walk-in closet, a balcony, he-and-she sinks, a huge bathtub, and a rain shower head. The polished floor boards and the stunning views out to the Andaman sea were simply fabulous. However, the rooms weren't completely soundproof, as we could hear conversations from the adjoining locked room throughout the night.
