Pros:

The pool, and the various dinning experience.
Friendly staff.

Cons:

They might need to work on the bathroom tiles as they discolred/ built mold over time, which does not look good.

It was a horrible experience for me and i would surely not advise someone who checks in alone because they target single
Pros:

Clean

Cons:

They gave away the room i paid for to someone else and i didn’t get the view that i paid for and they didn’t do anything to help with the situation or even give me a refund. Also their staff target men who check-in alone. They brought a prostitute to my room at midnight and claimed that i had ordered for one yet i had had no contact with her or the property about getting one. I challenged them to show me evidence of me calling or texting them asking for a prostitute but they had no answer. I later found out that it’s a well arranged plan by the staff at English pointe Marina to scam people. Surprisingly no one from from the hotel management has contacted me since then to apologize for the incident which happened twice during the two nights i spent there

No value for money.
Pros:

The view from the swimming pool and the gym

Cons:

Old towels and the beach is shitty. We had the same foods for breakfast (with minimal choices)for three days. We wanted a room with a view so we just booked on booking.com and texted the hotel to inquire if we would get one with a pool or sea view but they replied after one week and they couldn't allow us to change rooms. We were so disappointed, the rooms are not worthy the price.

It was my second time to stay with you and i would return and still stay at the penthouse.
Pros:

I loved that the hotel upgraded us to the Penthouse. The room was spacious and amazing. It could accommodate us all comfortably. I loved the fact that room service is free, it was a pleasant surprise. The view was to die for.

Cons:

We wanted to use the Jaccuzzi and no one knew how to operate it.
