部屋にGが多々発生しました。

Get what you pay for.
Pros:

Lots of pools and places for the kids to play. The gardens are pretty and give the tropical vibes. The sandy beach pool is great as there’s a water slide and our big kid was happy for hours, The paddle pool was amazing for our little one.

The food at the cafe is good when you’re hungry.

The room was neat and tidy and good for a short stay. Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The family room only had access to the bathroom through the seperate bedroom and the access was tight.

Pros:

Nice resort. It would be nice to have two chairs and a small table in front of the room. Also, there is no drying rack to hang swimsuits and towels . Far from the city center

Family friendly
Cons:

Monsoonal rain overnight meant cars flooded and i think that guests should have been given warning as you record our number plate registration and the reception is open 24hours. The reception staff would have been able to see the cars going under water!
There was also a couple fighting in the room next door and on the balcony outside my room at 1am. I know this isn't the hotel's fault but it certainly impacted my stay.
