My wife and I stayed here in late July/ early August of 2025, for her birthday and our 5 year wedding Anniversary. When we arrived it felt like a scene from a movie! The staff, were always kind and friendly and worked with us to ensure that we had an amazing time whether we opted to walk around the city on our own, a tut-tut tour or having the hotel book us a private tour to see the monks. The breakfast was was of the best buffets we ever had and started to have our daily favorites and fresh boba tea and other tasty beverages. If you're up early enough, you can get a great seat by the pool for some rest and relaxation before thee families come out to go swimming. In the evening time we recommend going to the roof top bar and lounge for a relaxing evening! We hope to comeback again someday!
