Toilet problems, set temperature in room which can not be changed.

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 29 Jun 2024
Look, this is a pretty luxurious hotel. Friendly (humble) stuff and comfortable rooms.
The breakfast buffet is not bad and the location is quite good, near the waterfront boardwalk. (With restaurants and pubs etc). But there was a flushing issue with the toilet which could not be fixed and although there is a digital thermometer in the room; the temperature can not be changed by the hotel guest. This needs to be done by the hotel staff upon request.
Date of stay: June 2024
Room Tip: Try for a waterfront view.....

Dear JuRut,

Thank you for taking the time share your feedback with us. We are glad to know that you had a good experience staying with us especially in terms of location, customer service and breakfast buffet. And if it wasn't for the toilet flushing and room temperature control issues in the room, I believe the experience would have been great instead of just good!

We are pleased to inform you that we have managed to find a solution to the flushing issue and hopefully, after the technical advise from our consultants, will be permanent. As for the room temperature control, we do apologize for the inconvenience as it is part of the green initiative to reduce carbon footprints wherever we operate and your as well as everyone's kind understanding and support is very much appreciated.

Once again, thank you very much for your kind review and feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you back!

Kind regards,
Jeremy

Superb central location, excellent beds, room. Great variety at Breakfast. Very attentive and polite staff and tables cleared and sanitised promptly. We particularly enjoyed the Afternoon Tea which was excellent and our evening meal at a dining room. Loved the rooftop swimming pool and cocktail bar with superb views.

We had five memorable nights at this hotel. Elvina, our host on the 14th floor, made our experience even more pleasant by being very attentive to our needs. The drinks and lounge food at 5:30 pm daily were enjoyable, and the sunset views from the lounge and rooftop were incredible. The market across from the hotel was very convenient for grabbing tropical fruits, especially the fresh coconut drink.

We had a great time and would stay again. However, I felt that the Gold Elite member benefits were nothing special. Despite having lounge access, the hotel offered me a ticket for a free drink at the rooftop bar, which felt redundant since I could get unlimited drinks in the lounge. A more thoughtful approach to improving the guest experience would be appreciated.
