Duration: 4 nights
Booking agent: Agoda
Paid: SGD1142.64 (for 3 deluxe rooms, for 4 nights)
Breakfast: International
Wifi: Only at the (Italian Restaurant) - you gotta ask them for password
It was a trip for my old folks. Only upon booking did I realise this hotel has no lift. So there was a problem for my aging folks. Dropped them an email and received almost an immediate reply that they could place us at the lowest of the building, at Level 1. Ground floor is for Junior Suite, so that's out of the question. And despite the worry they do not keep to their words (coz I booked under Agoda), we were given Level 1 for all three rooms. And the staffs were very pro-active in helping us with our luggages.
Strangely, I hardly seen any Asian guests in the hotel throughout the 4 nights. We were not sure why this hotel is not popular among the Asians.
As the hotel looks pretty very "gardenish", I didn't know how to capture nice photos. The hotel is just a street away from the beach. A good garden walk from the front of the hotel to the back of the hotel where the Italian restaurant is. Do not expect a quiet beach. It is a crowded beach with stalls and all.
There is a spa in the hotel. My sis and mom went for massage. Price was reasonable but service was nothing to shout of.

| The balcony at Level 1 we enjoyed thoroughly due to the convenience to see my parents and my sis |
 |
| Pool 1 - quite pretty, but it can be pretty deep. I saw a 1.8m somewhere in the middle. The little ones played at the baby pool on the left side mainly. |
 |
| Pool 2 Pretty pathetic. The pool is not clean. The hotel was chopping off some trees. Leaves, barks dropped into the pool. The pool looks deep too, and no proper indication of the depth. |

| Balinese Dance on Thursday evening |
 |
| Different performances every evening 7.30-8.30pm and 8.30-9.30pm |
It's an Italian Restaurant where you have your breakfast and your fix for wifi connection with the world. They serve pretty good food. They have different performance every evening and it was full house the 3 nights we dined there. Recommend to be seated outside by 6pm if you wish to get a nice seat. Try not to take the tables inside, the service can be quite disappointing.
Wifi:
I've read that it's not worth to purchase the wifi there as the network is really bad. So, just go to the restaurant for your fix.
Breakfast:
They have variety of local delights, toast and bread, muesli/oats/cereals, choices of juice, fruits, yogurts. But I ate lesser and lesser each day.
Mosquitoes:
You can literally see them flying towards you in delight. One good advice: bathe in your repellant.
