Definition of luxury. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel special. Check-in was smooth and our room was upgraded to a suite! Breakfast was a massive buffet with lots of choices. The pool was great, not crowded and very relaxing. We had an early flight out and the staff even arranged for us to have a breakfast box! Overall I would highly recommend staying here!
Rabiatul Adawiyah
Had a very pleasant stay here today. All staff were friendly and helpful. Special thanks to the senior parking assistant/bellboy for the warm welcome and buggy service to our room. Also thanks to staff handling the buggy service for being very helpful and polite, even when we returned around 12am from nearby shops. During breakfast, the lady staff was very friendly and always smiling. The manager in charge on was also very welcoming and kind. Checkout was fast and smooth as well. Overall, very happy with the stay and definitely will come again.

Our entire stay was very satisfying. Check-in and check-out were efficient, and the room was spacious and clean, with high-quality, minimalist amenities and a balcony facing the sea. Although there was construction going on right in front, they upgraded our room as an apology—so no complaints there. Breakfast was served as a buffet at a beachfront restaurant called Ta-Tu, offering a well-balanced mix of local dishes and classic Western options. I especially liked the cheerful barista at the entrance serving local coffee—it was a nice touch. There’s also an on-site marina where you can enjoy activities like jet skiing and paragliding, which made the stay even more fun.

Had an amazing 5-day stay! The pool is absolutely beautiful! A special thank you to the lifeguard Faisal — he was incredibly kind and patient, helping me improve my swimming techniques when the swimming pool is not busy! He really made my stay extra special!! The breakfast is pretty good as well, whole experience was so relaxing and wonderful!
Vincent Ling Ho Tee
We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this resort for families. It is incredibly kid-friendly with a wide variety of activities to keep everyone entertained. Breakfast: The variety choices of foods at Tatu Cafe was excellent—definitely a highlight of our mornings. Atmosphere: Despite some areas being under renovation, the noise levels were perfectly acceptable and didn't disrupt our experience. Area for Improvement: The Swimming Pool internal surface of the pool is quite rough and abrasive. Several of us ended up with minor cuts, so it would be great to see the flooring smoothened out for safety. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!
