The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The sea and mountain view from the balcony was amazing, especially during sunrise and sunset. The check-in process was smooth, and the unit had complete facilities such as kitchenware, washing machine, and fast Wi-Fi. The location was strategic, close to the city and shopping areas

Room is spacious and clean. Rooftop swimming pool is nice. The fragrance from the hotel smells so good. Staff is super helpful. I lost my phone cable and shops were closed already. I had an early tour next day. The staff from the reception was so nice and helped me to charge my phone. So I could be able to contact the guide in the next day.

Excellent location within walking distance to eateries, malls and the jetty for island-hopping. Staff were exceptionally warm and hospitable - 5 stars to them! The pool was a great place to unwind on a humid afternoon. The view from the café was just perfect, overlooking the sea. Would definitely return the next time I'm in KK.
