Holiday at your own pace, stroll along the Boardwalk or relax at one of the four luxurious swimming pools. Spacious living and dining areas open onto private balconies, Two and Three Bedroom Apartments feature the magic of a lanai.
"Each building in the resort complex is provided as an apartment hotel, so if you expect the same level of service as a regular hotel, you will be disappointed.
The service is minimal, and the towels and toilet paper provided as a starter kit must be cleaned by yourself or purchased if they get dirty or run out.
Although it varies by building, the room I stayed in was well-cleaned and clean.
There is a full kitchen, laundry room, living room, bathroom with a jetted tub, and bedroom, and it is spacious and comfortable to stay there as if you were living there.
As for the location, although it is far from the center, it is a good environment surrounded by nature such as botanical gardens.
For me, who wanted to go bird watching, it was the best location.
The reception is closed after 5pm. Trip.com says it is open until 6pm, so I think they should correct that.
When I tried to check in, it was closed and there was no one there, which was a problem.
At that time, a kind staff member at the Thai restaurant on the premises contacted me, and I was able to safely receive the key and instructions that were in the safe.
By the way, this Thai restaurant was very delicious and reasonably priced, so it's worth visiting even if you're not staying at this hotel."
