A large and more “mass market” hotel (a “standard” Sheraton ie like those US Sheraton hotels, ie basic) with 500 rooms. The building a bit old but the room is new, clean, and comfortable (part of the hotel already remodeled / renovated recently). [The other Sheraton in YL Bay is a more hi-end resort.]
HT Bay is a very long/wide/flat beach with smooth sand and thus great for walking/playing around. And for swimming the hotel has ok pools.
Services in general ok (ie they get the work done, while I would expect resort hotels to have more smiles/friendliness).
The additional services they provided to SPG elite members: (1) Right after booking they called and replied email confirming my needs and upgraded right away; (2) breakfast in a separate restaurant - more attentive services and a quiet/comfortable environment. I appreciate that.
Nice SPG platinum member room upgrade (to a nice suite but still no wine glasses nor coffee machine. Did offer welcome fruit).
Convenient. A few mins walk to a mall with supermarkets and restaurants.
