I had a mixed experience at this resort. The rooftop bar was a highlight, offering stunning sunset views and great service, particularly from Changi. However, I found the dining options limited for those seeking plant-based meals. The check-in process was less welcoming, and some of the facilities, including the beach and pool, left much to be desired. Overall, while it has its charm, there are definitely areas for improvement.

Our family had a lovely stay at the resort, enjoying the two pools and the warm hospitality of the staff. The beach, while beautiful with white sands, had limited swimming options due to parked boats. The breakfast experience could improve, as the buffet often ran low on food. Despite some minor setbacks, we truly enjoyed our time and plan to return.
