1. Services from staff. Friendly and an organised team. 2. All requests were fulfilled, including a baby chair in the room. 3. Breakfast was delicious with a unique presentation. 4. The bed was super comfy, and the room booked was spacious for 2 adults and an infant. 5. Convenient buggy transfer around the area. 6. Nice and clean beach and facilities.

1. Ants and spiders were observed in the room. 2. some water proofing improvements are needed in the bathroom to prevent water from splashing out. 3. Minor noise from the ceiling or building, even during midnight. 4. Some furniture like the chair(unstable), fridge (leaking water), need enhancements. 5. No covered car park available.

Good spread for breakfast. Enjoyed the lunch at Turmeric. Overall the staff was very attentive and efficient. Beach was awesome....so close by and water was crystal clear. Kudos to all for the excellent job!

Lunch at Sea Fire and Salt was badly infested with flies. Was a very stressful meal :( Hv given a few suggestions to the staff in waiting and hopefully it will be a better experience the next time around for us. The selections at Observatory Bar was nice but the Cheese and charcuterie board could be done better (basically it was all the items from breakfast). Crackers were pathetic :(

Very cosy hotel with a great ambience. Staff provided highly responsive and impeccable service from the heart.

The bus shuttle service (perhaps beyond the control of the hotel) is unreliable. Buses will either be late or not turn up at all. Be prepared for excuses such as engine failure or "you have missed the bus timing" despite being 45-minutes early!

- The staff (reception, beach & restaurant service, housekeeping, ...) was exceptional. I have rarely experienced such an outstanding service. - The breakfast was amazing (quality of the food, choice, ...). - The food in the Turmeric restaurant is very good and at a reasonable price. - The beach is amazing: very quiet, no rocks in the water.

I had the most amazing 4D3N stay, it's the perfect amount of time to enjoy every little bit of the resort. Breakfast buffet was good, the dinner buffet and ala carte at Turmeric was tasty, the lamb is really good. Staff were really nice and accommodating. We got the premier corner room and it has a nice walkway/balcony that wraps around the whole room, the interior furniture is so nice and super spacious. My now-fiance proposed to me during our trip and it made it even more memorable! Some may say the prices are high, but you get what you paid for. I will be definitely be coming back in the future.

Nothing major but could be areas of improvements : housecleaning may be a bit slow at times. Requested for 3 pillows but it took multiple reminders to the housekeeping team, but still managed to get it on the same day!

Lovely property with lots of facilities and spaces for the family. Large interconnecting rooms which is ample space for families, great pools, beach access, kids club and staff was great and nice food in the restaurants. We tried the spa and had lovely treatments with the visiting therapist and the spa staff. Fantastic beach side buffet and party for NYE with fireworks.

Service in the beachside restaurant was slow at times

We liked the quietness and remoteness of the location, the serenity of the place is overwhelming. We also appreciated the friendliness of the staff, as well as the warm welcome by the reception. The Kids Club has some great offers and we liked how our son enjoyed the different activities. The pool area is quite as relaxing as the beach, and the sports rental is well equipped. We rented the Hobie Cat twice and each time had long sails along the Derasu Coast, with a rain out around lunch time (perfect timing). The food was top notch and always surprised about what can be done in this site of the world (breakfast had a huge variety, and the options for lunch and dinner were simply great). It is fun to ride the bike in the resort.

Only little things. The service is a bit slow from time to time and the reservation system of the restaurants does not seem to be aligned with the entries at the reception. Some of the bikes are not in best order.

Beautiful property ! Service was good and warm but not quite Anantara std.

Their restaurants are limited so by about the 3rd day you need to go beyond the hotel for a different meal experience
