Buffet breakfast and pool villa will persuade me to return
Pros:

The first stay in the pool villa was nice, clean and serene.
The second room I was presented with hadn’t been cleaned. Had to wait in the heat for reception staff to find a clean room for me.

Cons:

One staff member was rude and ruined the experience at the end.

Beautiful and tranquil.... until power tools begin
Pros:

Spent $330 to stay in a pool villa for my birthday. Beautiful tranquil location however was woken to grinding and power tools just after 7am the following day. Should be advertised prior to booking the stay and work should not be allowed until a more reasonable hour. Very disappointing for the price paid as a platinum member.

Overnight airport stay
Pros:

Room was newly renovated, bed was comfy, was a great stay

Cons:

The splash cafe was only serving prepared food from their fridge, bit disappointing as I had hoped to have a decent breakfast before flying.
