Snel Overzicht: A solid 4-star workhorse that delivers on food and space but is starting to show its age in the furniture and soundproofing departments.

Beoordeeld door @Girlfriend4896: I stayed here for a birthday trip and was shocked by how huge the room was! My bathroom had a deep tub and was super clean. Definitely ask for a street view room like I did—my friend got an internal view and was so jealous of mine!

The hype

Travelers love the breakfast variety and friendly staff but consistently flag the aging furniture in the apartments.

Reality check

The 'soundproof' claims don't hold up against the morning call to prayer or hallway noise.

  • You are traveling with a family and need a 2-3 bedroom apartment
  • Breakfast is the most important meal of your day
  • You plan to spend most of your day out shopping or golfing

Schoonmaak & Onderhoud

8
  • Housekeeping: Generally responsive and daily, but can be understaffed during peak weekends.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Hotel tower is clean; Residence tower often has complaints of 'leaking tubs' and 'worn grout'.
  • Maintenance: The main lobby and pool are pristine; hallways and Residence rooms show scuffs and wear.
  • Linens & towels: Clean and white, but towels can feel a bit thin/scratchy in older rooms.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh; some Residence rooms have a faint 'musty' or 'old carpet' smell.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips

Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.

Does the hotel serve alcohol?

Yes, the Peppermint Lounge and Gravity Ten Bar serve alcohol, though it is pricey compared to duty-free.

Are the apartments good for families?

Tips van Insiders

  • ✨

    The 'Seafood Symphony' BBQ by the pool on Friday/Saturday is cheaper for guests—ask for the discount at check-in.

  • ✨

    The gym on the 10th floor is surprisingly well-equipped for a hotel in this price range.

  • ✨

    Avoid the 'Studio' rooms in the Residence tower if you want a modern feel; book a 'Deluxe' in the Hotel tower instead.

5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat

  • 💡The 'Residence' elevators can be painfully slow during breakfast rush.

  • 💡You can hear the 'Seafood Symphony' live band from pool-facing rooms until 10 PM on weekends.

  • 💡The bathtub in the apartments often has drainage issues (check immediately upon entry).

  • 💡There is a dedicated 'Japanese Corner' at breakfast that is surprisingly authentic.

  • 💡The hotel is a popular wedding venue, so the lobby can get chaotic on Saturdays.
