fantastic family vacation

This resort was selected for our extended family vacation, and we stayed two nights. i found the hospitality excellent, particularly the chefs' friendliness (they came out to chat). because we were a large group, they accommodated our dietary needs. saturday night featured a special variety of local foods and malaysian games. It was a nice experience. the beach is clean and private, with warm waters perfect for swimming. i liked that the turtle education center was informative. We saw around 90 hatchlings released.

The Serambi rooms were spacious with a large veranda. It overlooked the beautiful beach. The beach offered family and adults-only pools. The well-equipped gym contained all the equipment needed. The three restaurants served an excellent variety of Malay and international foods. The resort also offered special themed nights with market dinners and beach canapés.

The soundproofing in the room was not ideal. I could clearly hear voices from guests upstairs. This was a minor inconvenience, though.
