We've stayed there last month for our Wedding Anniversary, up until now we could not get over with the vibe of the place and first impression really do last. The Filipina lady at the reception named Rossel was so helpful. She've made sure that it will be memorable for us since we've said that its our Anniversary. To us, the front office will be the first impression of the places that we are staying. We've took the package of unlimited foods and drinks. For that place where we had some drinks Cristy's service is the best. She made sure that we will feel comfortable despite the heat. Always checked on us from time to time. There was one place were we had like a different vibe its in that restaurant where the breakfast and lunch buffet got served. We had that blue bracelet and showed upon entering the place. Provided our room number as well. We are asians by the way, however, there were staffs kept asking on us if which room are we even when we got the to that buffet area. Looking around, they did not bother asked other nationalities which for us was off. However, we kept going. The blue bracelet should be an enough indication that we availed the buffet and paid for it. However, when we went back for our dinner, we met Rochelle and addressed to her our issue and she really listened to us. I liked her service and observed how she ensure that everything is order. The dinner was very good. Nabeel and Farid our boggy drivers are very friendly and professional. They've ensured to us that if we needed their service, they are just a call away. In total it was the most memorable experience every. We will be back for sure. The vibe of the place down to the staffs are amazing. We really love it. Read less
